How to transfer your number from giffgaff to VOXI?

1) Check you’re eligible to switch from giffgaff

Assuming you’re out of contract, it won’t cost you anything to leave giffgaff. If you’re not sure whether you’re still under contract or want to find out your contract end date, you’ve got a few options.

The first is to log in to your account at giffgaff’s site.

The second is to log in to the giffgaff app on your phone.

As you’ll almost certainly know, giffgaff doesn’t operate a telephone customer support service. So you won’t be able to get in touch over the phone.

And if you’re interested in switching but want a bit more information first, text INFO to 85075.

2) Contact giffgaff to cancel your contract and get a PAC Code

With your phone wending its way to you, just text PAC to 65075 to get your PAC code. It’s this short, alphanumeric code that will enable you to transfer your existing phone number to the network you want to join.

Alternatively, you can get your PAC code from giffgaff by logging into your account online and requesting one.

Or you can get one by texting 43431 from your giffgaff phone.

All networks are obliged to supply your PAC within two hours of your request. Once you’ve got it, you may want to make a note of it. Just in case.

PAC Codes are valid for 30 days only. If you haven’t used yours within this timeframe, you’ll need to submit a request to giffgaff for a new one.

3) Find and buy a SIM from VOXI

Right, so you’re sure you’re of contract. The next step is to select a SIM-only deal from VOXI and sign up for it through Uswitch.

VOXI will carry out some credit checks. Once they're out of the way, you’ll receive your SIM card in the post.

4) Contact VOXI to give them your PAC Code

Not long to go now. Your next task is to ring VOXI to tell them your PAC Code.

Get in touch over the phone on 03333 040 191. The call centre’s opening hours are 8am-9pm every day.

5) Insert the VOXI SIM card in your phone

Using a pin-key, open up the SIM tray on the side of your phone and insert your Voxi SIM.

Your number won’t be transferred straightaway. But while you’re waiting, you’ll be given a temporary number, so you’ll still be able to use your phone.

6) Wait for your number to be transferred

The time it takes to transfer a number varies from network to network. But unless a weekend gets in the way, your number transfer should be complete the next working day.

Once that’s done, you’re good to go.
