Restoring giffgaff Voicemail on Android
Call 443 from your giffgaff SIM. If the call connects and asks for a PIN, voicemail is working but the divert may need restoring. If the call fails, proceed to the next step.
Dial **61*443*11*30# from your Android phone dialler and press Call. This re-enables the voicemail divert for unanswered calls on giffgaff.
Dial **67*443*11*30# (busy) and **62*443*11*30# (phone off/no signal). This restores voicemail when your Android is unavailable on giffgaff.
If voicemail asks for a PIN you do not know, call giffgaff.com community (no phone support) to reset it. giffgaff will verify your identity before resetting the voicemail PIN on your account.
The giffgaff app or Visual Voicemail feature on your Android may give direct access to messages without a PIN. Check your giffgaff app for a voicemail or messages tab.
If using codes, ensure the voicemail number is in full UK format. Some Android models require a + prefix: +44443 instead of 0 or just 443.
If voicemail has never worked or was recently lost after a plan change, call giffgaff.com community (no phone support). giffgaff may need to re-provision the voicemail service on your account.
