Hi there and thanks for visiting the community.
To set up your internet and MMS "settings" using giffgaff,using your iphone is very easy to do.Firstly try texting the word "settings" to 2020 and you should then receive your giffgaff "settings" via a text message.If you also have access to wifi,simply go to the app store, and download the "my giffgaff" app,or simply click onto the link below to go straight there and download the app

Once you have downloaded the app,open it and click onto MORE.Then click onto Apn "settings" Your "settings" will now be installed for you.If you would like to manually enter your "settings",Here they are.
1) check to see if you have an old profile.
2) Head to "settings"-General-profile.
If you can't see an old profile,move onto number 2.If you CAN see an old profile,tap it and press remove.
2) Go back to "settings"-General and press RESET.
3) Press reset network "settings" and follow through.This will delete your wifi passwords,and you MAY need to enter your passcode,at which point your iphone will reboot.
4) Go back to "settings"-General- mobile data or network,depending on your ios version.
5) Tap mobile data network.
Now under mobile data enter the following:
APN-giffgaff.com

On your Porting Day,you will experience a loss of service at some stage between 9am and 6pm,in most cases it should take just a few hours,but can take up to 24 hrs. As the process is dependant on your old network provider and giffgaff cannot offer assurances about the length of time you will be without service.
What you need to do.
1) Switch your phone off in the morning,pop your giffgaff sim card into your phone.
2) switch your phone on around mid-day.
3) When the number transfer is complete,giffgaff will send you an email notification via my giffgaff,you will see giffgaff/o2 on the screen after switching your phone on,and you should be able to make calls and texts as normal.If it says something like,sim card registration failed,it hasn't completed yet-switch your phone off and try again,in an hour or so.
Dont worry if your device doesn't show O2,some don't.

Text the word SETTINGS to 2020 and follow the instructions...if that fails then input the settings manually....this usually rectifies the problem, also for MMS to work properly you need to have 3g and Mobile Data turned on and also MMS enabled in your phone settings... otherwise MMS will NOT work....and reboot your phone once you have done all of this.
