Summary
giffgaff
isp mobile eyeball
giffgaff — a UK mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) that rides on the O2 UK network and is owned by Virgin Media O2 (Telefónica/Liberty Global).
What it's used for
- SIM-only mobile data and voice for UK consumers, sold online with no long-term contracts.
Notable
- A consumer "eyeball" network — addresses here are mobile devices, and as an MVNO the radio access is O2's, often behind carrier-grade NAT.
- Known for its community-run support model, where members answer each other's questions.
Interesting
- The name is Scots slang for "mutual giving", reflecting the brand's community-and-rewards positioning.

Classification and threat
Mobile Cellular carrier. Addresses are shared by many handsets via CGNAT.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,778 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
