Giffgaff Unlimited Data deals

Giffgaff offers a 1-month rolling unlimited data SIM deal, so it gives you ultimate flexibility, as you can change or cancel your plan at any time.

There’s also an 18-month unlimited data option, which sacrifices flexibility for a lower monthly price.

In both cases though you get 5G data along with inclusive EU roaming, and unlimited minutes and texts.

Why should I choose Giffgaff unlimited data?

Giffgaff is one of the cheaper mobile networks, so it’s a great choice if you want a good value unlimited data plan.

Since some of Giffgaff’s plans are short-term 30-day ones, you also potentially have loads of flexibility to change your allowances or cancel your plan as and when you see fit.

Plus, Giffgaff uses O2’s infrastructure, which means it should have the same coverage and speeds as O2, and it offers free roaming, tethering, Wi-Fi Calling, 4G Calling, and eSIMs.

Is Giffgaff unlimited data really unlimited?

Giffgaff’s fair usage policy states that you shouldn’t use “unreasonably large amounts of data”, including but not limited to using “around 650GB of data twice within a 6-month period”, and that you shouldn’t regularly tether to 12 or more devices.

Those restrictions are unlikely to affect the vast majority of users though, and outside of that Giffgaff’s unlimited data plans are unlimited in the UK.

When roaming abroad in the EU, there’s a 5GB monthly data limited.

Can you tether with Giffgaff unlimited data?

Yes, Giffgaff allows you to use your full data allowance to tether (meaning getting devices like laptops and tablets online using your phone’s connection). With unlimited data, the only limits are the network’s fair usage restrictions detailed above, but which include generally keeping your usage under 650GB per month and tethering to fewer than 12 devices.

Can you use Giffgaff unlimited data abroad?

Giffgaff’s unlimited data plans include roaming in the EU and selected destinations at no extra cost, however there’s a 5GB fair usage limit when roaming, so that’s the most you can use abroad each month without paying extra.

Can you get unlimited data on Giffgaff Pay As You Go?

No, Giffgaff doesn’t offer any unlimited data Pay As You Go bundles. At the time of writing these bundles top out at 200GB, but its 30-day SIM Only bundle gives you similar flexibility.

Are there any alternatives?

Yes, along with Giffgaff, you can also get unlimited data on Three, EE, O2, Vodafone, 1pMobile, Asda Mobile, iD Mobile, Lebara, Lyca Mobile, Sky Mobile, Smarty, Tesco Mobile, Talkmobile, and VOXI.
