What are APN settings?

APN (Access Point Name) settings are used by your mobile device to connect to the internet and send/receive PXT messages over the Vodafone mobile network. In this article you’ll find internet APN settings for smartphones, WAP based phones and mobile broadband devices, as well as PXT/MMS settings for your phone.

Entering APN settings

If you’re not sure how APN settings need to be entered in your device, there are two places on the Vodafone website where you should look:
  • Interactive user guides – our interactive user guides contain step-by-step instructions for many of the phones and tablets we sell. See our internet set up and PXT set up articles if you’re not sure how to find the information in the user guides
  • Mobile configurator the mobile configurator contains internet, WAP and PXT settings for a wide range of phones. The configurator will either provide you with step-by-step instructions or send the configuration settings direct to your phone via TXT
In the unlikely scenario we don’t have instructions for your device, check the device manufacturer’s support page for assistance to input the below APN settings.
