It seems GiffGaff is a waste of money since it dosn't allow me to get Internet at all !

I have just got 10ukp credit and a goodey bag which isnt quite as goodey as I had expected.

Apparently I cannot get to even access the Internet, let alone have unlimited access so this was a triumph of advertising over product if ever I have seen.

If this is the case it should have been made abundantly clear before I parted with my hard earned cash.

From a not so happy GiffGaff user - well would be user ☹

I take it this is because your handset is not compatible in some way?? And not just because you cant get it setup correctly?

Text SETTINGS to 2020 and save the profiles if this dont work post back here and we will tell you the settings for a manual setup

What handset is it as well??

If you can make or receive calls/texts then you can access the internet on giffgaff (assuming that you have an internet capable handset).

Tell us what make and model of handset you have and somebody will post how to set it up for internet.

I have the same problem with my Blackberry Bold 9700 PLEASE can someone tell me how to get the Internet - its the reason I jooined GiffGaff which does seem to be a waste of money.

The internet settings for giffgaff are as follows... (just input whichever ones it asks for, ignore those that it doenst ask for)

I do believe that you might have to use a different internet browser on your blackberry to access the net, as the built-in browser will only work with Blackberry Internet Service

Try How to Giffgaff a Blackberry.

Have you tried this (Edit: The link in the post above this one)? The title of this thread is impulsive, your sim DOES allow you to get internet through giffgaff as long as you have credit. It should be titled.. 'I can't get my PHONE to allow me internet at all!'

The settings on mine DONT say "giffgaff - GPRS" - its "giffgaff-wap".

You can call the Connection Name anything really, it's the other settings that are the important ones.
