How to enter APN settings

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, and make sure mobile data is on. Tesco Mobile uses O2's MMS infrastructure, so a missing proxy is a common cause of MMS failing while browsing still works.

No data on an unlocked or imported phone. Enter the APN prepay.tesco-mobile.com by hand with the username and password and restart. Unlocked phones often skip the automatic setup.

Settings reset after an update. A software update occasionally clears the APN. Re-enter prepay.tesco-mobile.com and the MMS values.
