Hi,

giffgaff do gigabags, which are data only packages which last 1 month. see http://giffgaff.com/gigabags

You can use the SIMs in dongles and it will work in O2 dongle.

Yes, Data Only GoodyBags are called GigaBags, and they work in dongles.

To configure a dongle, connect the dongle to your computer and open the connection application (this usually opens automatically).

Select Tools > Options > Profile Management > New Profile and enter the following details:

Profile Name: giffgaff

APN: giffgaff.com

Authentication

Access Number: *99#

UserName: giffgaff

Password: [leave blank]

Advanced

IP: [Leave Blank]

Authentication protocol settings: CHAP

DNS Settings: [Leave Blank]

WINS Settings: [Leave Blank]

Most people find the above works, but just in case you need extra settings, below are the standard ones:

Connection Name: giffgaff-GPRS

Access Point Name: giffgaff.com

Proxy Server Address: [Leave this blank]

Proxy Port: 8080

Username: giffgaff

Password: [leave blank]

Once you have configured the above, set giffgaff as your default connection and everything should work as normal.

Sims are all the same but if you only want data you need to buy a gigabag not a goodybag.

They work fine in dongles as long as you have a good signal.

The SIM cards are all the same, and yes giffgaff SIMs will work on an O2 dongle.

you can use either of the gigabags (data-only goodybags) or if you need more data that the gigabags include, you may also use any of the goodybags except the one with unlimited data (ignore the fact they also include minutes and texts you won't use)

you could use regular sim and just buy a goodybag.

ALL giffgaff sim cards come with a phone number and can be used in ANY device you care to use the sim in.

The only stipulations that could see your service disconnected are:

Using your sim in a device that can send a high amount of text messages per minute (automated texting systems)

Using the £20 unlimited data goodybags in ANYTHING other than a mobile phone.

hi,you can use any of the giffgaff simcards and goodybags (apart from the unlimited data goodybags )

so any gigabag or Limited data goodybag just ignore the minutes and text allowances

the O2 dongle should work with giffgaff so long as you can edit the APN settings (some O2 branded dongle's have fixed APN settings )

you'll need to add some or all of these settings to the software of the dongle

Profile Name: giffgaff

APN:giffgaff.com

Connection Number:*99#

User Namė: giffgaff

Passwörd: not set

Authentication: PAP

extra settings

APN: Static

IP Address: Dynamìc

Yup. If you already have an active giffgaff SIM card, you'll have to activate the new SIM on a new account. You will also have to manually edit the internet APN settings in the dongle.

U can use gigabag or any goodybag in a dongle, goodybag work fine but not unlimited goodybag u can only use that in phone, but u just use the data, mins and texts u can use them as well if u put the sim into a phone, O2 dongle work fine, it is possible to tether from your phone to computer but not with unlimited goodybag
