Your browser does not support video playback. Please download the video tutorial to watch it locally.
1. Open Giffgaff eSIM Replacement Web Page
Visit the eSIM Tools website and select the Giffgaff eSIM tool.
2. Select Login Method
Choose OAuth or Cookies login method (OAuth method is recommended)
OAuth Login
OAuth method requires obtaining the callback URL. For instructions on how to get it, please refer to the page instructions:
- First, open the login page for the giffgaff website on a new tab:
https://www.giffgaff.comand log in. - After logging in, return to the eSIM replacement page and open the developer tools: press F12 or right-click and select “Inspect” to switch to the “Console” tab.
- Click the “Start OAuth Login” button at the bottom; once the new window opens, switch back to the eSIM replacement page.
- Look for the error message in the console: “Failed to launch ‘giffgaff://auth/callback/…’”. Copy the callback URL from that line.
- Enter the obtained callback URL into the corresponding input box on the eSIM replacement page and click "Process Callback"
3. MFA Authentication
After processing the callback, you will be automatically redirected to the second step, select email/SMS verification code method to obtain MFA authentication:
Enter the obtained verification code and click "Verify":
4. Get Member Information
After successful verification, you will be automatically redirected to the third step, the get Giffgaff member information page:
Click "Get Member Information" to go to the fourth step of converting/activating eSIM:
5. Select and Activate eSIM
Step 4 offers three activation methods. Choose the one that fits your situation:
Method 1: SMS Verification Code Activation (Recommended)
Select SMS verification code activation and enter the SMS verification code, the system will automatically complete the eSIM replacement and generate QR code and LPA information:
Method 2: Fetch eSIM Directly (For New-Purchase Users)
⚠️ This feature could not be fully tested by the author due to eligibility constraints. If you encounter issues, please open the browser console (F12 → Console), copy the full log, and submit it via GitHub Issues.
If you have already paid £10 in the official Giffgaff app but did not receive an eSIM, use this method:
- Click the "Fetch eSIM directly" card
- Click the "Fetch my eSIM" button
- The system will fetch the existing eSIM on your account and generate a QR code
- If multiple downloadable eSIMs are found on your account, a selection list will appear — pick the one you need and click confirm
This method requires no SMS verification code and skips the reserveESim / swapSim flow — it directly retrieves the QR code.
Method 3: Manual Activation (Paused)
Manual activation has been paused by Giffgaff. Please use one of the methods above.
After successful exchange, you will be redirected to the fifth step showing QR code and LPA information:
