Re: phone number.

You don't get a number until you've activated your SIM.

Once your SIM is fully activated you will see your new number in the top left hand column of your My giffgaff page. https://giffgaff.com/dashboard

You'll be allocated with your giffgaff number once you've done your part of the activation process (including topping up by at least £10) and activation has fully completed.Activation should then take about 30 minutes to fully complete (generally quicker) but can take upto 24 hours.

Hi.
Your number is allocated once you activate your sim.
See here.
Activation

Go to your my gg dashboard, click activate, then enter the code from the card. There are no zero's or O's in the codes.
In addition, you can insert the SIM Serial Number instead - this is the 19 digits printed on your SIM card (right before 3Ggg1*) when activating your sim.

Sim activation is fully complete after you have topped up with the minimum of £10. Sim activation usually takes 5 to 30 minutes but can be up to 24 hours. Please be patient and keep checking your 'My Giffgaff' page, you new giffgaff number will appear on the top left had side of your dashboard. You can also Use this link

You will know your number only on activation. If you do want your old number to be ported you can do it after activating your sim and then fill the form on the page giffgaff.com/support/transfer which will troll you stepby step what to do. Regards

They don't allocate you a number until you actually join.
When you activate your account and buy a goodybag or top up at least £10 credit then the activation process starts. This takes up to 24 hours (sometimes you will find most parts of giffgaff and your phone will start working within 30 minutes, but it may take a full day for everything to be working properly), and at some point in this 24 hours your number will be displayed on My Giffgaff for you.
