My Samsung galaxy Ace will not connect to mobile internet.

[ewhite66]

I have a Samsung galaxy Ace and I cannot get internet access through it. I have sent a text 'settings' to 2020 five times today and receved five replies with automated setting and another five texts saying that my phone should now be connected to the internet but it does not connect. in my phone settings under Mobile Internet State it quite clearly states 'Disconnected'.I can send and receive texts and multimedia messages and send and receive calls so don't understend why it is not givng me internet connection. I've contacted an agent but they were unable to help. Can anyone help to get my phone connected to the internet because I would seem to be paying for a service that I am not receiving. Thanks

Have you tried mentally entering the settings instead of texting? Texting tends to only work for more basic phones.

try manually entering them in

Have you got an old phone you can put your sim in.

Goto settings - phone - my number and insert your giffgaff number in +44 format.

Then put ur sim back in your phone and you should automatically receive all settings without having to request them.

If you can connect to Wifi firget entering settings and instead go to android Market.
Download giffgaff by SKINKERS and take option to delete all APN's.
Then install giffgaff Apn.
That's it.

If still not working go to Settings>Wireless network>Mobile network>make sure 'use packet data ' is ticked
