Common issues
Picture messages won't send. Vodafone uses a separate MMS profile on the APN hos, with the MMSC http://pxt.vodafone.net.au/pxtsend and the proxy 10.202.2.60 on port 8080. Its device guides use live.vodafone.com for the same profile. If one fails, try the other.
A guide gives a proxy for data. Vodafone's smartphone profile, VF WEB, has no proxy. The proxy 10.202.2.60 on port 8080 belongs to picture messages and old WAP phones.
You're on Felix, Kogan Mobile or Lebara. They run on Vodafone's network. Felix and Kogan Mobile publish the same live.vodafone.com APN.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Vodafone Australia MMS APN?
Vodafone uses a separate MMS profile, Vodafone AU-MMS, on the APN hos, with the MMSC http://pxt.vodafone.net.au/pxtsend, MMS proxy 10.202.2.60 and MMS port 8080. Vodafone's device guides use live.vodafone.com as the APN for that profile.
Do I need to enter Vodafone APN settings by hand?
Usually not. Vodafone owns its network, and most phones pull the settings automatically. You enter them manually when data or MMS stops working, often after a SIM swap, a factory reset, or moving the SIM into an unlocked phone.
How do I know it worked?
Turn off Wi-Fi and open any website. If it loads, data is working. For MMS, send a photo to a friend and confirm it goes through. A quick restart helps if either doesn't start right away.
Does Vodafone support eSIM?
Yes. Vodafone supports eSIM. Activation usually sets up the data settings automatically, so you rarely touch the APN on an eSIM line.
Why won't my iPhone let me edit the APN?
Many carriers manage the iPhone APN through a hidden configuration profile, so the fields are locked or missing. That's normal. Resetting network settings re-pulls the profile and fixes most iPhone issues without manual entry.
These settings didn't fix it. What now?
Restart the phone first. If data still won't connect, reset network settings and let the carrier re-provision. If only MMS fails, re-check the MMSC and make sure mobile data is on. APN settings can't fix a deactivated line, an unpaid balance, or a locked phone.
