Common issues
You'd rather not type the values. Text APN to 611611 from the phone. Simple Mobile replies with the settings, which you then enter and restart.
MMS won't send. Simple Mobile's MMS server is its own, http://smpl.mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc, not T-Mobile's. Enter it exactly.
You had a Telcel America phone. Telcel America was folded into Simple Mobile in 2021. Use the values on this page.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to enter Simple Mobile APN settings by hand?
Usually not. Simple Mobile runs on T-Mobile's 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 Simple Mobile support eSIM?
Yes. Simple Mobile 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.
