You will need to have an email address to join giffgaff, perhaps you could set this up for him, initially you would need to top up the first time to activate the sim and this must be done ONLINE, after that he can run the account with giffgaff or o2 vouchers from the shops,

dataviews welcome
an email address would be needed. he can use your email address

dataviews giffgaff is completely online and therefore needs internet connection, can he use a library or can you assist him by setting up a account

giffgaff is an online company, so you will need an internet connection and email address to get started. You can use your own email address to set up an account for him, and then he can top up with vouchers thereafter.

charlixsparkles Sounds good to me, but can his account be separate or will we share the account.

dataviews each SIM has to have a separate account. If you are getting him started, ensure you have logged out of your account before activating his SIM.

You could set up an identity for him on your computer.it would mean you would have to run his account, but he could top up with vouchers on 43430 or you could get him a simple smartphone and a Gmail address and the he would be online

he22ie That would be fine. Two accounts, two billing addresses, two payment methods. I’m sure he would accept me as a trusted operator of his account. So fine !!

Accounts are seperate

tonic98 No problem

The pertinent question is can two entirely separate members use the same email address i.e. mine.

This can be done however, if you fall out with your friend, the person who is the owner of that email address (YOU for example) is going to get all the other persons giffgaff mail, and you don’t want to be giving anyone the PASSWORD to your actual email address do you? (Not advisable) Its always best to have your own email address to be honest, unless maybe if you are running the accounts of your close family

dataviews hmm! You would have to test that out with an agent

If your brother has any kind of smartphone there is probably an associated email address (a GMail address for Android or iCloud for Apple), otherwise, as others have said, set up an email account for this purpose.
