APN — Access Point Name — is the string a phone uses to reach Lyca Mobile for data, MMS and hotspot. Wrong values leave the SIM connected but unable to load pages.
This guide covers the recommended Lyca Mobile APN values for Android and iPhone, including 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 Lyca Mobile APN values on iPhone (Lyca APN Settings iPhone)
The Android 10+ route to APN settings is Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile Network → Access Point Names, or Connections on Samsung.
On a Samsung, it's Settings → Connections → Mobile Networks → Access Point Names. Xiaomi and Redmi route through Settings → SIM cards & Mobile Networks → Access Point Names.

Where the APN screen sits on Android, and what each field needs
iPhone Lyca Mobile mobile data not working after APN entry
On iOS 16 or later, check Settings → Mobile Data → Mobile Data Network. If absent, Lyca Mobile likely pushes the APN automatically. Resetting via Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset Network Settings restores the default configuration.
Newer iPhones on Lyca Mobile's carrier bundle may grey out the APN field — contact Lyca Mobile support for an update.

Troubleshooting Lyca Mobile APN issues (Lyca APN Settings iPhone)
If mobile data still does not work after entering the Lyca Mobile APN settings, try the following steps in order:
1. Toggle aeroplane mode — ten seconds on, then off — forcing a Lyca Mobile reconnect and APN re-registration.
2. Turn the phone off and on again to flush transient faults.
3. Recreate the profile from scratch; a single typo in the APN name or MMSC is a frequent cause of failure. Re-enter every value.
4. Reset all network settings. Android: Settings → General Management → Reset → Reset Network Settings. iPhone: Settings → General → Reset → Reset Network Settings. Lyca Mobile's defaults return.
5. Check the Lyca Mobile account — SIM activation, standing and data allowance are all verifiable via the hub or customer services.
Troubleshooting checklist
Work through these in order — most people are sorted by step two
• 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 Lyca Mobile (Lyca APN Settings iPhone)
MMS relies on dedicated MMSC, proxy and port settings inside the APN. If MMS fails, check these — certain Android phones need a completely separate MMS APN.
MMS setup checklist
Enter the MMS fields carefully — the MMSC address must use http://, not https://
Frequently Asked Questions About Lyca APN Settings iPhone
Will changing APN settings delete anything?
Nothing else is affected; the APN purely governs the data and MMS connection, and it can be reset anytime.
Do I need to enter APN settings on an eSIM?
A Lyca Mobile eSIM profile usually brings correct APN settings automatically. If data still fails, enter them manually via the steps above.
Why is my Lyca Mobile APN greyed out?
Some network operators lock the APN field on specific devices or SIM types. If the APN is 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 Lyca Mobile to request an APN update.
