Two answers:

You need airtime credit from www.giffgaff.com/buy to use a giffgaff SIM outside of the UK

Your phone may have tried to lock to a local CDMA (N.American) standard network.

Go to Settings>Network>Network Selection and manually select a GSM network.

Be aware of the charges for roaming outside the EU, as you may wish to consider a mortgage to pay for it!
