Beat the sunshine tax: Introducing the giffgaff Fair-play Summer Fund
Ah, summer. The season of balmy evenings, dusting off the BBQ, and assembling a glorious dinner of ‘picky bits’ for the fifth night on the trot.
But let’s be honest: it can also come with some sneaky, unfair costs we’ve just been trained to put up with – from sudden holiday price hikes to unexpected roaming fees.
In fact, 77% of us feel seasonal prices are totally inflated.
At giffgaff, we don't think fairness should take a holiday. We’re the mobile and broadband provider that cuts out sneaky costs, and we’re actively fixing summer unfairness through fair deals and our brand-new Fair-play Summer Fund.
Playing fair all summer long
We’ve already tackled some of the biggest seasonal headaches with deals that keep you connected for less:
Unlimited data for £14: Keep streaming, navigating and sharing those moments in the sun with unlimited mobile data from just £14 a month on an 18-month contract.
Full fibre for a fiver: Need a home broadband upgrade? Switch to an eligible 24-month plan by 28 August 2026 and get ultra-reliable full fibre broadband for just £5 a month for your first six months.
Travel like a boss: Use your plan’s data, minutes and texts in the EU just like you would back home (up to 5GB). And if you’re jetting off further, our travel data add-ons have got your back.
Win up to £10,000 to fund your summer fix
We want to go even further than just fixing your data bills. We want to help fix the other annoying parts of summer, too. Whether it’s getting stung by eye-watering luggage fees or paying double for a staycation during the school holidays, we want to hear about it.
We’ve officially launched the giffgaff Fair-play Summer Fund to help put things right.
We’re giving you the chance to get up to a massive £10,000 worth of help to sort out your biggest summer bugbear. On top of that, we have 200 vouchers worth £200 each up for grabs to help cover your shopping, eating out, or holiday plans.
