HT1937 Why is GiffGaff not recognised as a Carrier?

I am successfully using my iPhone on the GiffGaff network but in order to Tether my phone I need Apple to officially recognise GiffGaff as a carrier.  Can someone explain why GiffGaff is not recognised as such? It would be a shame to have to jailbreak the phone or worse still revert to a samsung.

UPDATE- 51 minutes on the phone and spoken with a senior tech.  She is raising the issue as an iOS issue and confirmed that Virgin users in the US have the same issue due to their carier also not being listed.
She has promised me feedback. 
In the mean tim is off to the GiffGaff forum to encourage as many users as possible to report this as an iOS issue and not give up on the call when apple tells em its a giffgaff problem or to reset their phone setings etc.
Watch this space folks

    why is adobe not recognising my password

    Hi Stacy
    Thank you for responding.
    I have tried everything to access "overdrive media console". Resetting
    passwords, chatting online to a technician , etc. nothing worked. This app
    requires adobe reader to access library ebooks. Adobe password and email
    address works with with my android tablet, which is synced to my phone,
    which is where I'm having trouble. I used to be able to access my ebooks
    from my android phone, and then suddenly adobe rejected my password and
    address.I have now resorted to changing to a new email address.
    Hope this lasts, although I would have liked to know why the problem
    existed.
    I got so frustrated with Adobe.

  • Why are Apple not recognising the problem?

    Can anyone tell me why Apple are not recognising that there is obviously a fault with iTunes 6.0.2. I like many others have been prompted to upgrade and now find that iTunes will not run. I have tried absolutely everything by reinstalling and even doing a system restore but just kept getting the "experienced a problem and has to shut down". I have also tried to do a stand alone reinstall of Quicktime which seems to have stopped the error coming up now but iTunes is still not there !!! Help. It seems as if it is running somewhere in the background when i try and launch it. Somebody please help??

    I have THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. Does anyone care that Apple has cut us off from the music they sold us??
    We can't listen to the music until we Auth a new computer.
    We can't auth a new computer without upgrading to 6
    We can't upgrade to 6, because the 6 upgrade is FULL OF BUGS and FAILS TO WORK!

  • Why does GarageBand not recognise my midi controller?

    My Evolution MK-249 MIDI controller keyboard is recognised as being on the USB 3.0 Hi-Speed Bus in the System Information window, but is not recognised by GarageBand '11 nor does it appear as a device in Audio MIDI Setup. As a test, I plugged in a USB microphone + headset and GarageBand immediately detected the device and it appeared in Audio MIDI Setup.
    Evolution are no longer in business, but support has been picked up by M-AUDIO. According to their website the MK-249 is amongst many MIDI devices for which "the class-compliant drivers built into Mac OS X provide full support for all features.".

    I have just realised I have put this on the wrong forum - it is not relevant to iOS. I will now post it in the correct forum, please pardon my ignorance!

  • Why is iTunes not recognising my iPhone?

    Hi, I was wondering if anybody here could help me. iTunes is not recognising my iPhone (4S iOS 6.1.3) although my computer is recognising it as a camera and is set up to automatically import photos - I'm not sure if that makes a difference. I looked on the Apple troubleshooting page for this problem and the support given was clearly for an older version of iTunes so it could not help me.
    It would probably be helpful to note that my iTunes was recognising my iPhone perfectly fine before I updated it to iOS 6.1.3 last night.

    I should add that iTunes 'devices' in the prefs does show an iPhone backup from just before I installed Lion, however when I connected the first time, there was this issue. I have disconnected the iPhone and reconnected it, and now the iPhone comes up as connected to the backup, however the "sync" button is not present, but rather the "apply" one, suggesting I have made a change. So I guess it is all there and safe.

  • Why will iCloud not recognise my username (email address) i tried to recreate the account but it tells me its already in use, and i tried changing the password like 6 times and its not helping it also won't recognise my details on my new 4s .... why ?

    please help

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

  • HT1937 why when im not connected to wifi my iphone 4 will not let me facetime?

    When i try and facetime out side of my wifi area it will not let me connected using 3g

    Ask your cell carrier if they allow and support Facetime over their cell networks. Not all carriers do. If they do, check Settings/Cellular Data and see if "Use Cellular Data for Facetime" is turned on. If not, turn it on.
    Regards.

  • Ipod not recognised in ITunes. My solution (try this - worked for me!)

    Hello. i had IPOD 30GB vid for Xmas and have spent 3 days surfing through info trying to find out why itunes did not recognise it!
    I could see it in my computer but not itunes. I tried everything - and I mean EVERYTHING. I reinstalled, rebooted, restored reset etc etc! We had 2 IPODs to install so we knew it couldnt be a total hardware failure as both were doing the same thing.
    Sorry if this is too basic for the techie people but I needed these instructions!
    My problem was that Ipod was recognised as the C drive. Im not sure why this caused such a huge problem but there was a simple solution.
    Following installation of software (inc new version from website) open Itunes. If your IPOD is not showing up in Itunes, (be patient though - it sometimes takes a few minutes) please try this first!
    Open MY COMPUTER and wait until IPOD is showing in there (again - it sometimes takes an inexplicable amount of time - but be patient)
    Click on START icon,
    Right click on MY COMPUTER,
    MANAGE,
    STORAGE
    right click DISK MANAGEMENT
    ALL TASKS
    CHANGE DRIVE LETTER AND PATHS
    Now change the IPOD drive to a letter after L (I used Z for one of the IPOD and X for the other to be on the safe side!) You need to do this for EACH IPOD you want to plug in.
    Now close this down - reboot your machine and start again.
    Open Itunes and be patient. It sometimes takes the system up to 2 or 3 minutes to recognise the IPOD is connected.
    Good Luck!

    I was experiencing the same issue and tried the standard install/re-install steps. I also played around a bit with the msconfig soultion but unfortunatley this didn't work for me.
    On one of my other machines I just finished configuring a Shuffle for my kids. It required me to install a later IPod updater (iPod Updater 2005-11-17). You can find it at http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    This seemed to do the trick for me. Goodluck

  • Track information not recognised

    Quite a large chunk of my MP3 collection has been imported into iTunes but it does not recognise the track information (i.e. just shows track title & that's it). I know these tracks have Artist/Album etc info as they show up in File Properties. Why does iTunes not recognise them & how can I resolve this?

  • HT1222 hello i have a problem with my fingerprint id its not working anymore like before his not recognised my finger anymore why ?

    hello i have a problem with my fingerprint id its not working anymore like before his not recognised my finger anymore why ?

    I have had to periodically delete and re-enter my fingerprint. The last update (7.1) may have improved that. You can delete by going to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode, enter your passcode and then tap "Turn Passcode Off" and then go back to the same area, put a passcode back on and then a fingerprint.
