Out of interest did you set up your phone to use giffgaff data?
If not you can use this app to help
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=tweakker+ic
You'll need to run the app and follow the instructions.
Or you can do it manually
Go to:
System Settings>Wireless & Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
Name: giffgaff
APN: giffgaff.com
Proxy:
Port:
Username: giffgaff
Password: password
Server:
MMSC: http://mmsc.mediamessaging.co.uk:8002
MMS proxy: 193.113.200.195
MMS port: 8080
MCC: 234
MNC: 10
APN type: not set
Leave any other fields at the way they are.
Make sure you save your settings
Make sure your new APN is selected
If there's an option to select "use packet data" make sure this is selected.

Ah and if nothing works you can reset your phone to default settings, take out the SIM card and put it back in after 10-15 sec to get back the new settings from the network
Follow the on screen setup steps for android..
And then ... Happy Surfing ..

H+ is better than 3G.
If you want to permanently enable 3g, go somewhere with worse reception and don't move. Ever.
