Common issues
MMS no longer works. 1&1 ended MMS on 30 June 2026 for all its brands. Sending and receiving picture messages is no longer possible, and no APN or MMSC setting brings it back. Use RCS or a messenger such as WhatsApp.
No data on an unlocked or imported phone. Enter the APN internet by hand with no username or password and restart. On an iPhone the 1&1 APN is set by Apple's carrier bundle and cannot be edited. Unlocked phones often skip the automatic setup, so the APN field starts empty.
Settings reset after an update. A software update occasionally clears the APN. Re-enter internet.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to enter 1&1 APN settings by hand?
Usually not. 1&1 runs its own network with Vodafone roaming, and most phones pull the settings automatically. You enter them manually when mobile data 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. A quick restart helps if it doesn't start right away.
Does 1&1 support eSIM?
Yes. 1&1 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 network re-provision. APN settings can't fix a deactivated line, an unpaid balance, or a locked phone. Picture messages (MMS) no longer work on German networks whatever the settings.
Does MMS still work in Germany?
No. Vodafone ended MMS in January 2023, and Telekom, O2 and 1&1 ended it on 30 June 2026. Use RCS in your Messages app or a messenger such as WhatsApp.
