When promoting X site, the webmaster needs to register numerous overseas apps, and of course, marketing accounts are used through a receiving code platform. However, some accounts need to be used long-term, and accounts from the receiving code platform are very unstable, so having a non-real-name overseas SIM card is very necessary!
Giffgaff is a telecommunications operator in the UK, founded in 2009, and is under one of the three major operators in the UK, O2. Giffgaff cards support global roaming and can send and receive text messages, answer calls, and access the internet in China.
For the X webmaster, the benefit of the gg card is that it does not require real-name authentication, and registering a TG account generally will not be hindered by the number. When necessary, this card's data can be used to handle some urgent situations, making it very convenient for registering foreign apps for promotion. If the account gets banned, it’s no big deal to change the number, with two free number change opportunities.
Giffgaff Card Cost#
Activating the SIM card requires £10, and generally, £5 is given as a bonus (because it is obtained through someone else's link, they get £5, and you also get £5). A message must be sent every 180 days or just turn on the data briefly and then turn it off; as long as there is a balance change, it is equivalent to keeping the number. The actual cost calculates that a £10 card can theoretically be used for 16 years.
