Im afraid this wont be possible without your other half knowing.

It wont be able to be done at the earliest until the 29th December, as Christmas Day falls on a Saturday andf Boxing Day is the Monday 28th , so you have to do this on the Tuesday and hope its done Wednesday or Thursday.

The iPhone will be fine, although be worth putting it on charge the night before 🙂

You'll just have to give her the phone as the surprise, then she'll need to get her PAC from giffgaff https://www.giffgaff.com/help/articles/how-do-i-get-a-pac-code-to-leave-giffgaff 

Once she has a PAC, she can submit the form here to transfer the number to O2 https://www.o2.co.uk/help/device-and-sim-support/how-to-keep-your-mobile-number

 

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
