What do you mean by the sim card being "Flaky"?

I have a spare phone (an old nokia) with a giffgaff sim in it. It started messing about and not making calls, although it would receive ok. It worked fine for both in an Ericsson phone. I did a sim swap and it worked fine.

I would definitely recommend doing a sim-swap and/or trying your existing sim in a different phone.
