Activate sim and iphone

[Anonymous]

Is there any way to activate an O2 sim, without putting credit on? I have been given an iPhone 5s that has been erased. Before you ask, no it is not stolen. I am on GiffGaff, which is not accepted by the iphone for activation. Hence my question.

Thanks in advance.

I'm also on giffgaff as well and I'm sure that iPhone now show the giffgaff logo.... Have u asked on help and support over on giffgaff? You might have to enter settings manually?

You will need to top up if it's a PAYG sim

Giffgaff is a recognised carrier so it should work. Try connecting to iTunes with your gg sim in it so it downloads the carrier settings.
