GiffGaff SIM card does not work with Jolla

Hello from the UK.

I'm been using the GiffGaff network for a couple of years on my Android and iDevices. They're an MVNO piggy backing off the O2 UK network.

I recently activated a new GiffGaff SIM, which I tested on my Android Nexus 5 and it works perfectly on GiffGaff. Connects to the cellular network, gets 3G, etc. Then I put the same SIM in my Jolla and it refuses to connect to GiffGaff.

I set the network selection to manual and when I do that I can see O2 UK listed and when I tap it I get error "Oops, cannot connect to network". When I have network selection set to auto then Sailfish just does nothing, as it it does not select any cellular network at all.

I have obviously rebooted the Jolla since inserting the GiffGaff SIM and I have set the APN correctly.

I've pinged a message to a GiffGaff user with the userID richardski on the GiffGaff community support forum as apparently he also has a Jolla and has got it working on GiffGaff but in the mean time I thought I'd post here to see if anyone can help me out.

GiffGaff SIM card does not work with Jolla

Hello from the UK.

I'm been using the GiffGaff network for a couple of years on my Android and iDevices. They're an MVNO piggy backing off the O2 UK network.

I recently activated a new GiffGaff SIM, which I tested on my Android Nexus 5 and it works perfectly on GiffGaff. Connects to the cellular network, gets 3G, etc. Then I put the same SIM in my Jolla and it refuses to connect to GiffGaff.GiffGaff. I took my other GiffGaff SIM out of my Nexus 5 and tried that in the Jolla and that too didn't connect to the network. I've since tried my wife's O2 SIM card in my Jolla and that works OK. So two GiffGaff SIM's have not worked so far in the Jolla.

I set the network selection to manual and when I do that I can see O2 UK listed and when I tap it I get error "Oops, cannot connect to network". When I have network selection set to auto then Sailfish just does nothing, as it it does not select any cellular network at all.

I have obviously rebooted the Jolla since inserting the GiffGaff SIM and I have set the APN correctly.

I've pinged a message to a GiffGaff user with the userID richardski on the GiffGaff community support forum as apparently he also has a Jolla and has got it working on GiffGaff but in the mean time I thought I'd post here to see if anyone can help me out.
