Setup guide

How to enter APN settings

  1. Open Access Point Names

    Go to Settings → Network & Internet → Mobile network → Access Point Names. On some phones it's under Settings → Connections → Mobile networks.

  2. Add a new APN

    Tap + (or the menu → New APN) and set APN to uk.lebara.mobi. Fill any other non-blank values from the table above and leave the rest as default.

  3. Save and select it

    Save from the menu, then select the new Lebara APN and toggle Airplane Mode on for ten seconds so the change takes effect.

  1. Open the APN screen

    Tap Settings → Mobile Service → Mobile Data Network. On some iPhones the menu is called Mobile Data. If you don't see this option, Lebara locks APN editing, so contact them or install a carrier profile.

  2. Enter the APN

    Under Mobile Data, set APN to uk.lebara.mobi. Leave Username and Password blank unless the table above lists them.

  3. Save and restart data

    Go back to apply the change, then toggle Airplane Mode on for ten seconds so the iPhone re-registers with Lebara.

Tip
After saving, toggle Airplane Mode on and off for 10 seconds. This forces the phone to re-register with the network and pick up the new APN.
Troubleshooting

Common issues

Data works but MMS won't send. Check the MMSC and MMS proxy values exactly, including port 8799, and make sure mobile data is on. Lebara uses Vodafone's MMS proxy, so a wrong port is a common cause of MMS failing while browsing still works.

No data on an unlocked or imported phone. Enter the APN uk.lebara.mobi by hand with username and password wap, then restart. Unlocked phones often skip the automatic setup.

Settings reset after an update. A software update occasionally clears the APN. Re-enter uk.lebara.mobi and the MMS values.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to enter Lebara APN settings by hand?

Sometimes. Lebara runs on Vodafone's network as an MVNO, and many phones pull the settings automatically, but a SIM swap, factory reset, or an unlocked phone often means entering the Lebara APN by hand.

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 Lebara support eSIM?

Yes. Lebara supports eSIM on compatible phones. 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.
