EE APN Settings — Internet Data

Use these values when setting up a new APN profile on an Android phone. Enter each field exactly as shown — one incorrect character will prevent data from working.

FieldValue
NameEE Internet
APNeverywhere
ProxyLeave blank
PortLeave blank
Usernameeesecure
Passwordsecure
ServerLeave blank
MMSChttp://mms/pict
MMS Proxy149.254.201.135
MMS Port8080
MCC234
MNC30
Authentication TypePAP
APN Typedefault,supl
APN ProtocolIPv4/IPv6
💡 Most common mistake: The APN field must be typed as everywhere — all lowercase, no spaces. Even a capital "E" will cause the connection to fail.

EE MMS Settings — Picture Messages

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) lets you send picture messages and group texts. EE uses a separate MMSC endpoint. If you're adding a dedicated MMS APN profile, use these values:

FieldValue
NameEE MMS
APNeverywhere
MMSChttp://mms/pict
MMS Proxy149.254.201.135
MMS Port8080
MCC234
MNC30
APN Typemms
APN ProtocolIPv4
Max Message Size1,048,576 bytes (1 MB)
Note on iPhone MMS: On iOS, MMS settings are managed automatically by the EE carrier bundle. You cannot edit MMS proxy values on iPhone. If picture messages are failing on an EE iPhone, try: Settings › General › About — if a carrier update prompt appears, install it.

How to Set Up EE APN on Android

The exact menu path varies slightly by Android version and manufacturer. Use the tab for your device below.

  1. Open Settings on your Samsung Galaxy.
  2. Tap Connections, then Mobile Networks.
  3. Tap Access Point Names.
  4. Tap the + (Add) button in the top-right corner.
  5. Enter each value from the EE Internet table above. Start with Name: EE Internet and APN: everywhere.
  6. Tap the three-dot menu (⋮) at the top-right, then tap Save.
  7. Back in the APN list, tap the radio button next to EE Internet to select it.
  8. Return to the home screen and test mobile data.
On Samsung One UI 6 and 7 (Galaxy S24/S25), you may see a "Carrier-managed" APN already present. If it works, leave it. Only add a manual APN if data is not working.
  1. Open Settings, then tap Network & internet.
  2. Tap SIMs (or your EE SIM name if dual-SIM).
  3. Tap Access Point Names.
  4. Tap the + (Add) button.
  5. Fill in the EE APN fields from the table above. The critical fields are APN: everywhere and APN Type: default,supl.
  6. Tap the three-dot menu then Save.
  7. Tap the radio button next to your new EE entry to activate it.
  8. Toggle Aeroplane Mode on, wait 10 seconds, toggle off.
  1. Open Settings, then tap SIM cards & mobile networks.
  2. Tap your EE SIM, then tap Access Point Names.
  3. Tap the + (Add) icon.
  4. Enter the EE APN values. On MIUI/HyperOS, also set APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6.
  5. Tap the save icon (💾) or use the menu to save.
  6. Select the new profile and restart your phone.
On Xiaomi MIUI 14+ and HyperOS, some APN fields may show as "Not set" — this is fine. Leave them blank unless the table specifies a value.
  1. Open Settings.
  2. Navigate to Network & Internet (or Wireless & Networks on older Android).
  3. Tap Mobile Network, then Access Point Names.
  4. Tap Add new APN (usually a + button or via the three-dot menu).
  5. Enter all values from the EE Internet table. Leave any field blank if no value is listed.
  6. Save the profile and select it as active.
  7. Restart your phone.

EE APN on iPhone — What You Need to Know

Apple restricts manual APN editing on iPhone. When you insert an EE SIM, iOS automatically downloads the EE carrier bundle, which contains the APN settings. You do not need to type in the APN values manually.

If your iPhone has an EE SIM but mobile data is not working:

  1. Go to Settings › General › About. If a carrier settings update is available, a prompt will appear — tap Update.
  2. Toggle Aeroplane Mode on for 15 seconds, then off. This forces the phone to re-register on EE's network.
  3. Restart the iPhone fully (power off, wait 30 seconds, power on).
  4. Check that Settings › Cellular › Cellular Data is switched on.
  5. If the Cellular Data Network option is greyed out or missing, this means iOS is managing the APN via the carrier bundle. Call EE on 150 (free from an EE phone) to request an APN settings push.
EE iPhone users on iOS 17+ with eSIM: if you transferred your eSIM to a new device, the carrier bundle may need to re-download. This can take up to 15 minutes after inserting the eSIM. A manual restart speeds up the process.

EE 4G and 5G APN Settings

EE uses the same APN string (everywhere) for both 4G LTE and 5G NSA/SA connections. There is no separate 5G APN. If you are in an EE 5G coverage area (currently covering most major UK cities) and your phone supports 5G, it will connect automatically once you have the correct APN configured.

To confirm your phone is connecting on 5G: go to Settings › Mobile Network › Network Mode and ensure 5G/4G/3G/2G (Auto) is selected. EE's 5G operates on the 3.4 GHz (Band n78) and 700 MHz (Band n28) frequencies. Phones that only support Sub-6GHz 5G (not mmWave) work fine on EE's network.

EE APN Troubleshooting — Step-by-Step

Work through these steps in order. Most EE data problems are resolved by step 2 or 3.

  1. Toggle Aeroplane Mode. Turn Aeroplane Mode on for 15 seconds, then off. This disconnects and reconnects to EE's network. Works for most temporary data outages.
  2. Restart your phone. A full restart clears network state and re-initialises the APN profile. Works for settings that saved correctly but haven't taken effect.
  3. Check EE service status. Visit EE's network status checker or call 150 to check for outages in your postcode. Planned maintenance and unplanned outages affect data.
  4. Delete and re-enter the APN from scratch. Go to Access Point Names, delete the EE profile, and create a new one using the table above. Common cause of failure: copy-paste added an invisible space before or after "everywhere".
  5. Check the APN is selected. In the APN list, confirm the filled radio button (●) is next to your EE profile — not next to an old or blank entry.
  6. Reset Network Settings. This removes all saved Wi-Fi passwords and Bluetooth pairings but clears any corrupt network state. On Android: Settings › General Management › Reset › Reset Network Settings. On iPhone: Settings › General › Transfer or Reset › Reset › Reset Network Settings.
  7. Contact EE support. Call 150 (free from EE) or 07953 966 150 (from other networks). Ask EE to push APN settings to your number remotely — this overwrites any corrupted local configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions — EE APN Settings

What is the EE APN name?
The EE APN name is everywhere — entered all lowercase with no spaces. This is the standard Access Point Name for EE internet data in the UK. The network identifies EE as MCC 234, MNC 30.
Do I need to manually set APN settings on an EE iPhone?
No. iPhones with an EE SIM receive APN settings automatically via the EE carrier bundle. If mobile data isn't working on an EE iPhone, go to Settings › General › About to check for a carrier settings update, or toggle Aeroplane Mode. If the problem persists, call EE on 150.
What APN does EE use for 5G?
EE uses the same APN — everywhere — for 4G LTE and 5G. No separate 5G APN is required. Your phone will connect to 5G automatically in coverage areas once the standard APN is configured.
What are EE's MMS settings?
EE MMS settings: APN = everywhere, MMSC = http://mms/pict, MMS Proxy = 149.254.201.135, MMS Port = 8080, MCC = 234, MNC = 30, APN Type = mms. These are only needed on Android — iPhone handles MMS automatically.
Why is my EE APN not saving on my Samsung?
If the APN won't save: (1) Make sure you're saving via the three-dot menu, not just pressing back. (2) Check the phone isn't SIM-locked to another network. (3) On Samsung, some fields must not be left empty — enter "Not set" text won't work; leave truly optional fields blank. (4) Try Settings › General Management › Reset Network Settings first, then re-create the APN.
What network does EE belong to?
EE (Everything Everywhere) is a UK Mobile Network Operator (MNO) owned by BT Group. It was formed in 2010 from the merger of T-Mobile UK and Orange UK. BT Mobile uses the EE network. ASDA Mobile (launched 2020) also runs on EE infrastructure. EE operates its own 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G towers independently.
Can I use EE APN settings on a giffgaff SIM?
No. giffgaff runs on the O2 network, not EE. The correct APN for giffgaff is giffgaff.com. Using EE's "everywhere" APN on a giffgaff SIM will result in no data connection. See the giffgaff APN settings guide for the correct values.
How do I reset EE APN to default?
Android: go to Settings › Mobile Networks › Access Point Names, tap the three-dot menu, and select "Reset to default". iPhone: Settings › General › Transfer or Reset iPhone › Reset › Reset Network Settings. Note that resetting network settings on iPhone will delete all saved Wi-Fi passwords.
