All you need to do is turn on the hotspot on your phone and you're good to go. Tethering works slightly differently depending on your phone, but you can enable this in your phone settings.

Check out this super helpful article that will explain everything you need to know about tethering and how to enable it, depending on your device.

Note: giffgaff allows tethering on all of our plans. It’s worth remembering that any data you use while you’re tethering gets taken out of your allowance/credit as normal, so stick to low-bandwidth activities and make sure that you have data in your plan or credit on your account.

Check data allowance/credit

  • You can check the data allowance in your plan and/or your remaining credit on the dashboard of your account here. Or,

  • Call 43430 then select option '2'.

If you're not sure how to turn on your hotspot, just ask the community. Make sure to let them know what phone you're using.
