I've acquired a pre-loved iPad, and I'm having trouble getting an electronic SIM from giffgaff, preferably with the same number and the balance preserved.

You'd think I was trying to control the Mars Rover from Hockley Heath.

Anyone got a foolproof method of getting me sorted? 

We use it quite a bit for SatNav, and it's very handy for that.

If GiffGaff can’t help you can get an ESIM alongside yr Guff one. 
Try SimLocal, other brands available 
NB eSIMs only possible with WiFi+Cellular models not WiFi only. 
Regards
Jack
