First of all you delete all current settings, these are for 02 and will not work on giffgaff. To delete settings:

1. Press the navi key and go to Menu
2. Go to settings
3. Go to configuration
4. Press the navi key on Default config. settings
5. On both 02 Pay&Go and 02 paymonthly press the backspace key (inbetween the p and enter key)
6. Select Yes to delete on both

Now that you have done that you need to set up the giffgaff settings, I recommend using this method to do it:

1. Go back to configuration
2. Select personal settings
3. Select Options then Add new and then Web
4. Put the Account name to anything you want (I put Giffgaff web)
5. Put the Homepage to anything you want (I put http://www.google.co.uk/)
6. Put the Username to giffgaff and the password to password
7. Put Use preferred access pt. to No
8. Select Access point settings
9. Put Proxy to Enabled
10. In the Proxy address type 193.113.200.195 and select OK
11. In Proxy port type 8080
12. Go into Bearer settings
13. In Packet data access pt. type giffgaff.com
14. Put the Network type to IPv6 (IPv6 appears to be faster)
15. Leave the Authentication type at Normal
16. In User name type giffgaff and in password type password
17. Go back until you see your Personal accounts and press Options on your settings and select Activate
18. Go back again and in Default config. settings select Personal config.
19. Finally press Default in all apps.

Now that you've done this set up the packet data settings:

1. Go back and select Connectivity and then Packet data
2. Put Packet data connection to When needed and select Packet data settings
3. In Active access point select Access point 5 (Access point 1 is known to have some problems, select Access point 5 to be on the safe side)
4. Go into Edit active access point
5. In Access point alias type whatever you want (I typed in Giffgaff)
6. In Packet data access pt. type giffgaff.com

Okay so finally for wifi settings:

1. Go back and go into WLAN
2. Select Internet connection to Ask first (so that you can choose to use wifi)
3. Now select Available WLANs and wait for the search
4. Simply find you WLAN, select it and enter the security password for it
5. When it asks Save network for future use select Yes

Now you have giffgaff internet and wifi set up on your Nokia C3-00! For any issues you can message me, I will be willing to help!

Update: You may be experiencing problems with using wifi with the browser or any other application, do this to fix it: "I had the exact same problem. What I did was that I removed all network Internet settings, GPRS, WAP, etc. because I do not want to use them which is when I lost the ability to select which AP to use.

So what I did was I created a personal setting:

Settings > Configuration > Personal settings > Add > Web

Then go to the main menu > Internet > Web settings > Configuration Settings > Select the personal settings that you created

Now try to access the internet and it will ask you to choose, choose Wi-fi

Then go back to the personal settings and delete the setting that you created. From now on, you will be asked which connection to use everytime you access the internet

If you want to restore your GPRS settings, you can just request it from your network provider and they will send it to your phone."

Hi, for the phone to get internet access, Itdepends on the Sim card you insert in the phone. Each Sim cards has different network settings for each Sim cards being inserted in the phone.

If you want to get internet access for the Sim card your using,ones you insert the Sim card in the phone,Call the customer care service center of the particular Sim card you inserted, Am sure they will assist you with the internet settings on the phone.
Call is free.
Take care.

First, you need to make sure your phone is SIM unlocked. After unlocking your phone, you can purchase an Cingular (AT&T) SIM card on eBay. Then call 1-800-331-0500. And set up a Go Phone account.

Go Phone is owned by Cingular (AT&T) in the United States. This is a pre-pay cell phone account that uses the Cingular (AT&T) SIM cards. You will have several options as to how you will be billed depending on the service you require. Pre-pay data is also available too, for an extra fee with the Go Phone plan.

See Go Phone Plans: http://bit.ly/cIo8dG


AT&T uses the 850/1900MHz band (1900 MHz UMTS band for 3G data) for cell phones in the US. Make sure your phone can use this bands.

If you need to SIM unlock your phone, you can do this two different ways.

The first is to contact your service provider and inform them that you need to have your phone SIM unlocked for international travel. Most providers require your account to be in good standing and that you've been their customer for a certain amount of time. Then, it's free.

The second is to purchase an unlock code. These can usually be found on eBay for as little as $2 US.

To search for the unlock code for your phone, on eBay, type in your phone model and the words 'unlock code' and your current service provider. (Example: Samsung BlackJack i607 Unlock Code Rogers) Once purchased, simply follow the instructions sent to you with the code and unlock your phone - then use the Cingular (AT&T) SIM card with the Go Phone pre-pay plan.

Tip: On some phones you must insert a SIM card NOT used by your current service provider when you enter the unlock code.

to connect to the internet you dont need PIN2 code. Insert O2 SIM and go to Setting Wizzard, it'll download the correct setting according to your SIM type (ie pre-pay or bill pay). When settings recived save them and apply in all apps. If pin asked for received settings type 1234. then restart phone.
