Giffgaff and SF?

[Guest shawn0]

In the three months Ive been with giffgaff I've only put £10 on yet have had £30 applied through sending others sim cards. If you dont mind changing ur number you could send yourself sims with £5 on each . So a third off! :-)

[Guest jsplace]

Anyone fancy sending me a sim with the £5 on please?

PM me if you can.

Thanks

EDIT: Now done, many thanks :)

Has anyone successfully sent or recieved a MMS message yet? I'm not having any luck with the settings provided on their community forum.

I can send, but receiving is a little dodgy. You need 2 APN settings. One for internet, one for MMS.

Dont know about that 100mb limit!

I dont have a goodybag and get the Free internet and I was sat outside a supermarket last week and downloaded a full episode of "Ideal" from iplayer via myplayer and that was 125mb.

There is a limit which GG monitor. If you don't abuse the system they seem to let things slip.

100M is not for downloading movies or streaming for that you should have a goodybag. If you want 'free' web and email then 100M per day should be fine.

I hope they extend the free internet beyond the 1st of December (they have extended it many times already) as this does make them great value.

If anyone wants a sim, it is best to ask me (or any other gg member) to send a sim out as you get another £5 credit when you top up with £10 - they also pay me for sending the sim :)

So with £15 credit (£10 spend) you could currently buy the Labs Goodybag for £5 and use the £10 credit for calls at 2p and texts at 1p. Meaning either 500 calls or 1000 texts or any mixture plus UNLIMITED internet. The goodybags only last a month but your credit is ongoing.

Don't take this the wrong way, but would you give your name, email and address to a total stranger?

giffgaff has changed the referal system now.

All you do now is click a link like the one in my sig.

No details are given to me, it goes straight through to giffgaff.

surely the 'give your name and address to a total stranger' thing is something that happens every time you use ebay? its hardly the same as giving out your pin number!

anyway, like he said, they've changed it now.

Mr M. Mouse at my mother inlaws address gets a lot of mail like that. :-)

I am using my San Francisco on the GiffGaff Network and it works perfect.

The settings you need for GiffGaff Internet and MMS are as follows:

Press the Menu key

Tap Settings

Tap Wireless & networks

Tap Mobile networks

Tap Access Point Names

Tap a giffgaff APN (if there are no APNs go to 10)

Press the Menu key

Tap Delete APN

Repeat 6, 7 and 8 until no giffgaff APNs remain

Tap the Menu key

Tap New APN

Tap Name then tap the text box and enter giffgaff then tap OK

Tap APN then tap the text box and enter giffgaff.com then tap OK

Tap Username then tap the text box and enter giffgaff then tap OK

Tap Password then tap the text box and enter password then tap OK

Tap MMSC then tap the text box and enter http://mmsc.mediamessaging.co.uk:8002 then tap OK

Tap MMS proxy then tap the text box and enter 193.113.200.195 then tap OK

Tap MMS port then tap the text box and enter 8080 then tap OK

Tap MCC then tap the text box and enter 234 then tap OK

Tap MNC then tap the text box and enter 10 then tap OK

Press the Menu key

Tap Save

Tap the circle next to giffgaff so a green dot appears.

Press the Back key four times to return to the home screen.

Turn you phone off and back on again

Hope this helps :)

Used that but my MMS never worked so had to enter settings manually :)

[Guest ovolactohippo]

giffgaff support on other forums, foregoing the possible payback - that's dedication! (or maybe it gets more payback because it pulls in referrals? ;P)

As someone who never uses MMS I would go for the giffgaffapn app every time - can be downloaded from the market over wifi :)

[Guest JBSCARFACE]

saw that advertised all over liverpool (literally) this week - bizarelly advertised as 'pakistan mobile' despite the fact that there are hardly any people from there here the internet allowance is pretty low though and not really compatible with the blade is it?

It has a second button now that you use if your MMS doesn't work. That button made my MMS work when the first didn't :)

So how do you use Vectone to call abroad, do you not end up with 2 SIMs (T-mo+Vectone)?
