APN — Access Point Name — is the string your handset uses to reach EE's mobile network for internet data, MMS picture messages and mobile hotspot. Without the correct EE APN settings, your SIM card may connect to the network but fail to load web pages or send picture messages.
Below are EE's recommended APN values for both Android and iPhone — the APN name, username, password, MMSC, MMS proxy and port fields. If your device is showing mobile data connected but no internet, checking the APN configuration is one of the first steps to take.
Entering EE APN values on iPhone
On recent Android builds, get to EE's APN list via Settings, Network & Internet (or Connections on a Samsung), Mobile Network, then Access Point Names — the plus icon adds a profile, tapping an existing one edits it.
Samsung Galaxy: Settings → Connections → Mobile Networks → Access Point Names for EE's profile; on Xiaomi/Redmi it's Settings → SIM cards & Mobile Networks → Access Point Names.

iPhone EE mobile data not working after APN entry
On iOS 16+, it's Settings → Mobile Data → Mobile Data Network — missing means EE's likely already auto-pushing the APN. A reset via Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset Network Settings brings back EE's defaults if needed.
Heads up: newer iPhones running EE's carrier bundle sometimes grey out the APN field entirely. If so, contact EE support to update your carrier settings profile.

Troubleshooting EE APN issues (iPhone)
Data not flowing despite the correct EE APN? Work down this list:
1. Toggle aeroplane mode for ten seconds. This makes the phone reconnect to EE and re-register its APN profile.
2. Restart fully. A complete restart clears any short-lived fault and makes sure the new EE values are actually applied.
3. Rebuild the profile. Delete the EE APN entry entirely and re-type it from scratch — a single wrong character in the name or MMSC field is enough to break data.
4. Reset the network settings fully. Android: Settings → General Management → Reset → Reset Network Settings. iPhone: Settings → General → Reset → Reset Network Settings. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth pairings clear, but EE's defaults return.
5. Rule out an account-side problem — SIM activation, account status and data allowance are all checkable via the EE hub or customer services.

• The MMS Proxy field is an IP address only — no http:// prefix
• APN Type must contain mms (e.g.
default,supl,mms)• On Android, save then select the profile before testing
APN settings for MMS on EE (iPhone)
Picture messaging on EE runs through its own set of fields within the APN profile — MMSC, MMS proxy and MMS port. If MMS isn't sending or downloading, that's the first place to check. A few Android phones need a completely separate MMS APN entry from the main internet one.

Frequently Asked Questions About EE APN Settings iPhone
Will changing APN settings delete anything?
No — your contacts, messages and apps are completely untouched. This setting only controls how the phone reaches the mobile network for data and MMS, and you can always reset them back to default.
Do I need to enter APN settings on an eSIM?
An EE eSIM profile usually brings the correct APN settings with it automatically. That said, if mobile data is not working on your EE eSIM, you may need to enter the APN values manually using the same steps above.
Why is my EE APN greyed out?
EE locks the APN field on certain devices and SIM types by design. If it shows greyed out on Android, try going to Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile Network and looking for an option to reset APNs. On iPhone, a greyed-out APN field means the carrier is controlling the setting via a carrier bundle — contact EE to request an APN update.
