FAQ
Can I get the student plan?
The student exclusive plan is available from 4/8/25. You'll need to activate your SIM before 31/1/26.
How much extra data will I get?
Currently, our regular £10 monthly rolling plan comes with 20GB of data. You'll get an extra 80GB of data every month. So that's 100GB in total.

Switching networks is easier than ever. Just text PAC to 65075 and have your PAC code ready to use after you've activated your giffgaff SIM.
What if I'm already a member?
Existing members can absolutely get this deal. If you've already had a student plan from us in the past, you'll be automatically opted in. If this is your first time, you'll need to update your email address to your .ac.uk address and then you'll have access to purchase the student plan.
What if I'm a student, but don't have access to my email?
Fret not, you can still order a student SIM form us using any email address. Then, once you have access to your .ac.uk address, activate the SIM using that email address.
Can I buy the student plan on the giffgaff app?
Yes, as long as your .ac.uk email address is registered on your account.
