Join giffgaff the Mobile Network Run by You

giffgaff celebrated its 10th anniversary and was nominated Which recommended mobile network provider for the 7th consecutive year with the highest score in its history. A little over a decade ago, O2’s executive Gav Thompson had an idea: what if there was a mobile network that worked more like Wikipedia? It would be a community focused effort, where members were rewarded for promoting the business and answering support queries. By operating online with a minimal staff, such a network could offer incredibly good rates to its members and still afford to pay them back for their hard work. The idea was thought feasible by Thompson’s peers at O2, and they even found the perfect name for it: giffgaff, after an ancient Scottish term for mutual giving.

The giffgaff community forums rolled out in August 2009, followed by the network as a whole in November the same year. giffgaff piggy-backed on O2’s mobile network, but was spun out and operated as an independent company. In total, it took just six months for giffgaff to get off the ground!
