Access Point Name (APN) tells the handset how to reach Lyca Mobile for internet, picture messaging and tethering.
Below are Lyca Mobile's recommended APN values for Android and iPhone — name, username, password, MMSC, MMS proxy and port. A 'connected but no internet' state usually points at the APN.
Entering Lyca Mobile APN values on Android
Most modern Android phones keep APN settings under Settings → Network & Internet (Connections, Samsung) → Mobile Network → Access Point Names.
Samsung's APN path is Settings → Connections → Mobile Networks → Access Point Names, while Xiaomi/Redmi use Settings → SIM cards & Mobile Networks → Access Point Names.

APN settings greyed out on Android
iOS 16+ keeps this at Settings → Mobile Data → Mobile Data Network. Missing? Lyca Mobile configures the APN itself. A reset through Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset Network Settings brings back defaults.
On some recent iPhones, Lyca Mobile's bundle locks APN editing; only a Lyca Mobile-side update will change it.

Troubleshooting Lyca Mobile APN issues (Lyca APN Settings Android)
Still no data after entering Lyca Mobile's APN values? Work through these in order:
1. Cycle aeroplane mode for ten seconds so the phone rejoins Lyca Mobile and reloads the APN.
2. Restart fully to clear temporary faults and apply the new values.
3. Delete the APN and enter every value again — a single incorrect character in the name or MMSC URL is often to blame.
4. Do a full network reset — both platforms restore Lyca Mobile's defaults at the cost of saved pairings.
5. Rule out an account issue: SIM activated, account active, allowance intact? Lyca Mobile's hub or support can confirm.
Troubleshooting checklist
Starts with the fastest thing to try, ending with the most thorough option
• 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 Android)
The APN profile holds distinct MMS fields — MMSC, proxy, port. These are the first thing to check for MMS failures; some Android phones split MMS into its own APN.
MMS setup checklist
Type the MMS fields precisely — http:// is required for the MMSC, not https://
Frequently Asked Questions About Lyca APN Settings Android
Will changing APN settings delete anything?
No, apps and personal data stay as they are — only the network connection for data and MMS is affected, and it's reset-friendly.
Do I need to enter APN settings on an eSIM?

Why is my Lyca Mobile APN greyed out?
Lyca Mobile locks the APN field on some devices and SIM types. Greyed out on Android? Look for reset APNs under Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile Network. On iPhone the carrier bundle controls it — ask Lyca Mobile for an update.
