Running out of credit/topping up

lewiskegs

I'm about to run out of data but not due to top up until Friday 24th October, just wondering if there's some sort of scheme on giffgaff that gives you your goody bag early or give you extra data to last (I've already had my extra 1gb) really need my data at work and haven't got the money to top up until my payday
Many thanks

lewiskegs if low on data or calling mins follow this guide to

start goody bag now

https://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Announcements/Introducing-Early-Re-purchase-on-Goodybags-and-Gigabags/td-p/14894237

this can only be done if current goody bag is below 100 calling mins or 100 megabytes data

also make sure recurring goody bags are disabled here

That's only way or ask a family member or friend to loan you ten quid until pay day

Sadly you will need some money as everything on giffgaff is PAYG.

So if you run out of data you have 3 options

Stop using data
Keep using data but pay for it out of Airtime Credit (which you can top up anytime you like) at the PAYG rate of 5p per MB
Start a new bag early.
In order to be able to start a new bag early you have to have less than 100MB of data.
(Note if you ever have the Always On bag you cannot start a new one early until you have used all the 40GB of Full Speed Data)

Starting a new bag a early will overwrite the exisiting bag and so ALL your allowances will re-set not just the data - however this is not an issue with any bag costing £10 or more because as they come with unlimited minutes and texts you are not actually “losing” anything.

As you have the Recurring Goodybag function set to ON then you need to note the following:

payment will be taken when you start the bag early
and so your next bag will start a full calendar month from when you start the new bag so your “payment date” will have changed.

As you have found yourself running out of data, including the bonus 1GB, then, unless this is an unusual situation, you may want to consider buying a bigger bag.

If so then before you start the new bag cancel the one that is queued, and change it for a bigger one.

When a goodybag on account using and have recurring goodybag on then next goodybag start auto to use when current goodybag is about to expire to use.
Or if at lease 100 calls or 100 MB data allowance on the goodybag been using then should have a option if want to start recurring goodybag now on account >> https://giffgaff.com/dashboard

This the same if have a queued goodybag instead of a recurring goodybag.

To turn on/off recurring goodybag >> https://giffgaff.com/profile/payment-details

To queue a goodybag instead to be ready on account then turn off recurring goodybag then buy a goodybag manually >> https://giffgaff.com/sim-only-plans

You can start a new goodybag early if you have 100mb of data and less
