Does this explain why my 4g sim doesn't work?

Giffgaff are 4G, 3G, 2.5G 2G.....

4G is just the fastest connection method for data, when available, dropping to lower speeds, 3G etc when not.

I think that's it, only networks who can fall back to 2g still will work. Hence for me Three, Smarty and another one I can't remember didn't work but ASDA, 02 and Plusnet do.

Had to get rid of Asda tho, my mates kept extracting the urine when they saw it on the display. Not sure Plusnet is much better!

Got a decent number off the ASDA sim, lots of 6's and 4's so I kept it and transferred it.

Not one person has ever called me on it tho!

The sims aren't allocated with a number until enabled on the Giffgaff web site, so they send plenty on the hope you give them to others.
Please note that Giffgaff no longer send their sims mounted on the full size backing so if your GT requires the sim on the full size backing you will have to pop the sim out and mount onto another providers full size backing.

Just got mine from giffgaff and they are mounted in larger holders. However it still doesn't work in my car. I was wondering even though I have all the phone buttons does it mean I have the phone option fitted? Anyway to find out?

Can't really help with regard to the GT, certainly with the 4200 you get all the buttons whether you have the option or not!
Also if the phone option is not available, the SIM card slot has a cover fitted so you can't even slide in the SIM card with holder.
