\n\nMessages from forums and mobile SIM dealers say that UK mobile network operator giffgaff is mass-banning accounts, affecting many Chinese users. Bans will not come with prior notice and are difficult to lift. Users who have bound important accounts should switch their SIMs ahead of time.
The operator’s service agreement stipulates that its SIM cards can only be used temporarily in the EU and designated destinations. At the same time, it states, “If you are not using our services for regular travel, we may suspend your use of our services in the EU and designated destinations.” Currently, Giffgaff is available in 42 countries or regions, including 38 EU countries, China, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United States. However, Giffgaff stopped mailing SIM cards to China in November 2025.
Giffgaff physical SIM cards have a large user base in China, typically not used for internet access due to expensive roaming fees, but instead used for receiving codes to register various online services. It is also the most commonly promoted SIM card by many dealers.

It’s a转载的，看到这个心里慌的一批
My TG was registered through GG, and I can’t receive verification codes with 86 numbers anymore.
Has anyone else had their GG SIM banned?
Does this mean my TG is in trouble?
