Common issues
Settings don't work at all. Prixtel plans now run on SFR. A very old subscription may still be on Orange, and it then needs Orange's APN, orange, instead of sl2sfr.
Data works but MMS won't send. On SFR, Prixtel uses an MMS profile with its own MMSC and proxy. If you only added the data profile, picture messages will fail while browsing works. Add the MMS values exactly and make sure mobile data is on.
No data on an unlocked or imported phone. Enter the APN by hand and restart. MVNO SIMs often skip automatic setup, so the APN field starts empty.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to enter Prixtel APN settings by hand?
Sometimes. Prixtel is an MVNO that runs on a host network, and an unbranded SIM doesn't always auto-configure. Enter the settings manually when data or MMS won't work, especially right after inserting a new SIM, a factory reset, or moving the SIM into an unlocked phone.
Which network does Prixtel use?
It depends on your plan. Most current Prixtel lines run on SFR, while some have used Orange. Your host network determines both your coverage and which APN values to enter, so check your offer if the SFR settings here don't work.
Does Prixtel support eSIM?
Yes. Prixtel supports eSIM on compatible plans. 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.
