There's a new article on ispreview https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.ph...n-october.html indicating that it "might" become easier switching from VM to giffgaff from October. Currently you have to cancel the VM service and wait until the line has been ceased before giffgaff can accept an order.

Giffgaff’s Help System Statement:

“Right now, we can only support switching from Virgin Media if you’ve already ended your service with them. Once it’s fully stopped, you can place a new order with us.

We’re working to make direct switching available, potentially by October 2026, so you’ll be able to switch straight over in the future.”

According to ispreview,

"We did ask Virgin Media directly about this too last week (the switching issue seems to be on their side), but the provider said they had “no firm dates” yet and that the team were still “working hard” to deliver the solution. The language from giffgaff similarly appears to be flexible on the October 2026 date, so it could yet take longer."
