You can also request your PAC code through your online giffgaff account under the Settings section, or by contacting giffgaff's community support.

Give your PAC code to your new network provider when you sign up, and they will handle the number transfer on your behalf.

How to Switch to giffgaff

Joining giffgaff with your existing number is simple and can be done entirely online. Start by requesting your PAC code from your current network — text PAC to 65075 from your current handset. Once you have your PAC, order a free giffgaff SIM card from their website, or pick one up from a supermarket or high street store. When your SIM arrives, activate it on the giffgaff website and choose a goodybag (their term for a monthly plan). During activation, enter your PAC code to transfer your existing number. The number port usually completes within one working day. Because giffgaff has no contracts, you are free to change or cancel your goodybag at any time without penalty.

giffgaff STAC Code

If you wish to leave giffgaff without taking your phone number with you, request a STAC code by texting STAC to 75075 from your giffgaff phone. The STAC (Service Termination Authorisation Code) allows you to end your giffgaff service while your number is retired. The STAC code arrives by text within one minute and remains valid for 30 days. This option is ideal if you have already set up a new number elsewhere or simply want to close your giffgaff account. Since giffgaff has no binding contracts, there are no fees associated with using a STAC code to leave.
