  3. Open 'My goodybags' / 'Airtime' and turn off automatic goodybag renewal.

Frequently asked questions

Will giffgaff charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, giffgaff keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling giffgaff.
Does cancelling giffgaff delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in giffgaff's settings.
How do I know my giffgaff cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from giffgaff and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.

Cancelling something? Keep the proof.

CancelProof records your cancellation automatically — so if you're charged anyway, you're covered.
