How to Get a giffgaff Usage Statement, Call Records or Proof of Usage in 2026

giffgaff does not currently issue a traditional itemised monthly bill. A giffgaff usage statement covers recent airtime-credit charges, PLAN to 43430 returns recent plan usage, an agent can supply older outgoing records, and proof of usage supports an insurance claim.

For a live balance, remaining allowance or recent deduction check, use the giffgaff balance and charges guide. This page is for records that need to be retained or submitted.

Use the Usage statement for recent credit charges

Sign in to the giffgaff Dashboard and open the Usage statement. giffgaff says it refreshes roughly every 24 hours, usually at about 8am.

The statement records chargeable use deducted from airtime credit. Activity included in a plan is not listed as a complete line-by-line bill, so an empty statement does not prove that the number has not been used.

Record the date and approximate time before checking. Compare the amount and activity type, wait for the next refresh if necessary, and capture the date, amount and description in one screenshot.

Text PLAN to 43430 for a recent plan summary

From the giffgaff number being checked, send PLAN to 43430. The reply provides current plan information and recent call, text and data usage. Delivery may take a few minutes.

giffgaff says a newly activated account can take up to 32 days before its first information update becomes available.

PLAN is the relevant keyword for this task. BALANCE may return a link to the app or Dashboard rather than the same usage summary.

Ask an agent for up to 12 months of outgoing records

For an expense record, work log or personal archive, state the exact start date, end date and activity type. Specify outgoing calls, sent SMS, or both.

The current policy allows records no older than 12 months. The available material covers outgoing calls and sent SMS. It excludes incoming calls, received SMS, call audio and message content.

When the file arrives, check the mobile number, date range and activity type before saving the original copy.

Request proof of usage for an insurance claim

  1. 1

    Open the insurance claim

    For a lost or stolen phone, complete the relevant giffgaff report first and obtain the insurer's claim reference.
  2. 2

    Collect the receiving address

    Ask the insurer for the email address that should receive proof of usage.
  3. 3

    Contact a giffgaff agent

    Provide the claim reference and insurer email. giffgaff sends the evidence directly to the insurer.
  4. 4

    Keep both references

    Save the giffgaff agent case number beside the insurer's claim reference so the request can be traced.

For a damaged phone that does not need blacklisting, confirm the evidence requirement with the insurer before asking the agent to send it.

    Confirm that the record belongs to the intended giffgaff number.
  2. 2

    Check the dates

    Verify the exact start and end dates.
  3. 3

    Check the record type

    Confirm that it is the intended credit statement, plan summary, outgoing record or insurer proof.
  4. 4
