Vodafone 4G APN Settings

Does Vodafone support 4G?

Yes, Vodafone has an active 4G network across the UK, with coverage continuing to expand. To use 4G on Vodafone, you need a 4G-capable device, a Vodafone SIM on a 4G-enabled plan, and to be within Vodafone's 4G coverage area. Check coverage at the Vodafone APN hub.

How to enable 4G on Vodafone

On Android: Go to Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile Network → Preferred Network Type and select 4G/4G/3G/2G (auto) or the highest available option. On Samsung, go to Settings → Connections → Mobile Networks → Network Mode.

On iPhone: Go to Settings → Mobile Data → Mobile Data Options → Voice & Data and select 4G. If the option is not visible, your iPhone model or carrier plan may not support 4G on Vodafone.

Vodafone 4G APN settings

The APN settings for 4G on Vodafone are the same as the standard mobile data APN. Your phone should use 4G automatically once it is enabled in your network settings. If 4G is not appearing in the status bar despite being in a covered area, try toggling aeroplane mode, restarting your phone or resetting your APN settings to the Vodafone defaults.

Troubleshooting Vodafone 4G problems

4G not showing: Check your plan includes 4G. Ensure your device supports 4G. Verify you are within Vodafone 4G coverage. Go to network settings and set the preferred network type to include 4G.

4G slow: 4G speeds vary by location, network congestion and signal strength. Move to an area with a clearer line of sight to a mast. Ensure no background apps are consuming data. Contact Vodafone if speeds are consistently poor in your area.

4G connected but no internet: Check APN settings are correct for Vodafone. Reset network settings. Try switching to 4G, testing mobile data, then switching back to 4G.
