Phone Unlocking Quick Start Guide

Last updated 23-MAY-13

In order to use your giffgaff SIM in your current phone,  you may need to unlock your phone, so whilst you’re waiting for your SIM to arrive, why not get your phone ready for the arrival of your new SIM.

Here we’ve given you a very top line on one of the easiest methods to unlock your phone from another network; we offer other options – in some cases free step by step guides, and in other cases a list of third parties who will unlock your phone for a small fee – take a look around the Unlockapedia for your specific model for these options.

It’s often easier, particularly for iPhone users, to request an unlock from their current network, so here we’ve listed the number you need to call for each Network as a quick start guide.
