Your voicemail is automatically switched ON when you activate your Giffgaff SIM card.

To change your giffgaff voicemail settings, you need to use a few Network Shortcodes that you simply dial on your mobile phone and hit the SEND key (they do not cost anything to use).

Note: Switching voicemail OFF disables it. This changes the way the network deals with call diverts. When you switch voicemail OFF, it stops all calls going to your voicemail. This covers all call situations which are normally diverted to voicemail (i.e. when you don't answer a call, when you have your phone switched OFF or when you're on another call).

Alternatively you can use the codes below too:

If you're using the code *004# and it says "command error"

- If switching ON, try to switch it OFF with #004# and then back on again with *004#.

- If the above did not work, then dial *61*443# or *61*443*10*30# for no reply after 30 seconds. You could also try:

If your giffgaff voicemail is currently diverted to another phone number, you should first divert to giffgaff voicemail by dialling *004*443# then hit the SEND key and you can then STOP or RE-ENABLE voicemail using the codes above.

Note: You may want to disable your voicemail so callers can't leave a message - remember to switch it back ON when you get back.

Some people prefer to divert all calls to voicemail - remember to set up your voicemail PIN before you leave; that way, when you dial your mobile number, You will not have to waste credit listening to set-up instructions as you'll be charged per minute while roaming.

While you are overseas, it does not cost anything when someone leaves a voicemail message.. It'll only cost if you retrieve it while you're away. Instead of the "per call" rate that you would pay in the UK, you'll be charged the roaming at a "per minute" rate.

Change your voicemail PIN

Just dial 443 from your giffgaff handset and press star key (*), followed by keys 4 - 4 - 1. You'll be prompted to enter your old PIN and then you can enter your new one.

If you have not set up a PIN previously, when you first call 443, you will be asked to enter a PIN.

This means that if you ever need to access your giffgaff voicemail from another handset, then you will be able to enter this PIN and your voicemail will be protected from other people accessing it.

Forgotten your voicemail PIN?

You can reset your voicemail PIN by texting the word RESET (case sensitive) to 802443. This will not work if you have your PIN protection switched ON.

Note: Resetting your PIN may not work if you´re out of UK, as some networks will not allow this operation. However, you should try it first or do this change while in the UK.

Changing the voicemail number from 111 to 443

Due to government regulatory changes, we have changed the voicemail to "443" which spells "GIF" on your device.

If you´ve an older giffgaff SIM card then prior to the change the number was "111", which is what will be stored in the SIM settings. If you order a new Giffgaff SIM card (with the new voicemail settings) and do a SIM Swap, it will solve this problem.
