APN, short for Access Point Name, is the configuration string your phone relies on to reach the ASDA Mobile mobile network for internet data, MMS picture messages and mobile hotspot. Without the correct ASDA Mobile APN settings, your SIM card may connect to the network but fail to load web pages or send picture messages.

This guide covers the recommended ASDA 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 Asda Mobile APN values on iPhone

On Android 10 and up, Asda Mobile's APN screen sits at Settings → Network & Internet (Connections on Samsung) → Mobile Network → Access Point Names. Plus icon adds a profile; tap an entry to edit.

Galaxy handsets: Settings → Connections → Mobile Networks → Access Point Names. Xiaomi and Redmi use Settings → SIM cards & Mobile Networks → Access Point Names.

iPhone Asda Mobile mobile data not working after APN entry

On iPhone with iOS 16 or later, go to Settings → Mobile Data → Mobile Data Network. If this option does not appear, your carrier may push APN settings automatically. You can also reset your network settings at Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset Network Settings, which will restore the default ASDA Mobile APN configuration.

Note: On newer iPhones using carrier bundles, the APN field may be greyed out. In this case, contact ASDA Mobile support to update your carrier settings profile.

APN field greyed out? Here is why
On Android: the field is locked by a carrier profile. Go to Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile Network → Access Point Names and tap Reset to Default (three-dot menu). On iPhone: the carrier bundle controls the APN — it cannot be edited manually. Contact your network to push an updated carrier profile, or insert the SIM in another phone to test.

APN values are case-sensitive — enter them exactly
Type every character exactly as shown — no spaces before or after, no capital letters unless listed. One wrong character stops mobile data from working. After saving on Android, tap the radio button (filled circle) next to the new profile to activate it.

Does Asda Mobile automatically configure iPhone APN?

Type Asda Mobile's values into the APN screen, leaving unlisted fields blank. Save, restart, then select the profile.

After saving your APN settings, always restart your phone and test a website before making further changes. If you have multiple APN profiles, make sure the correct one is selected (shown with a filled circle on Android).

Fastest way to apply new APN settings
After saving, turn aeroplane mode ON for 10 seconds, then turn it OFF. This forces an immediate network re-registration — quicker than a full restart and equally effective.

Troubleshooting ASDA Mobile APN issues

If mobile data still does not work after entering the ASDA Mobile APN settings, try the following steps in order:

1. Toggle aeroplane mode. Turn aeroplane mode on for ten seconds, then turn it off. This forces your phone to reconnect to the ASDA Mobile network and re-register the APN profile.

2. Restart fully — this clears short-lived faults and applies the new Asda Mobile values.

3. Rebuild the APN. Delete Asda Mobile's entry and retype it — one wrong character breaks data.

4. Reset all network settings. On Android: Settings → General Management → Reset → Reset Network Settings. On iPhone: Settings → General → Reset → Reset Network Settings. This clears all saved Wi-Fi passwords, Bluetooth pairings and APN settings, then restores the ASDA Mobile defaults.

5. Check your ASDA Mobile account. Make sure your SIM is activated, your account is active and you have not exceeded your data allowance. Visit the ASDA Mobile APN hub or call ASDA Mobile customer services.

Frequently Asked Questions About Asda Mobile APN Settings iPhone

Will changing APN settings delete anything?

No — the rest of the phone is unaffected. This only controls the Asda Mobile connection for internet and MMS, and it's reversible.

Do I need to enter APN settings on an eSIM?

In most cases, eSIM profiles include the correct APN settings automatically. However, if mobile data is not working on your ASDA Mobile eSIM, you may need to enter the APN values manually using the same steps above.

Why is my ASDA 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 ASDA Mobile to request an APN update.
