So, you might be asking yourself whether Giffgaff coverage is on the good list for 3g and mobile phone connections in Britain. To put it short, yes, Giffgaff has very good coverage in the UK. Giffgaff don’t have their own masts to provide their service but that’s nothing to worry about. Instead of Giffgaff paying a fortune just so they can start their own network, they’ve decided to use O2’s masts. Essentially, Giffgaff are renting these from O2 (obviously at some kind of premium) so that they can provide a service to their customers. This means that if you are thinking about moving to Giffgaff but you were unsure about it since you didn’t know what their coverage was like, you’ve nothing to worry about.

As most people know, O2 are definitely one of the best companies in the UK in terms of coverage, so you’ll basically get the exact same coverage if you are on the Giffgaff network which is great. There’s no doubt that O2 have really good coverage, as a matter of fact they’ve 99.9% population coverage! If you want to check out if you’d get good coverage from Giffgaff you can check out O2’s network coverage. It might sound a bit weird that you have to check 02′s coverage in order to see if the Gigg Gaff networks coverage is good, but that’s what you have to do! You should be able to tell from the maps on that site whether your area has good coverage, but there’s also another way which you can use to see if you’d have good coverage if you used Giffgaff. Since so many people are on O2, you could simply ask someone (a friend or someone from your family) to come over to your house and see how many bars you get on the phone. If it’s good then you know that if you were to move to Giffgaff you’d have no coverage issues.
As you can see, the Giffgaff coverage is pretty good, so if you were wondering whether it was worth switching over to Giffgaff to save money or whatever, it certainly is! Don’t be worried about the whole situation that they use O2’s coverage, other companies do the same. (Tesco also use O2) There’s a reason why all of these new networks want their coverage to come from O2 rather than someone else!
