TPG APN Settings 2026 - 5G & 4G LTE Configuration
Configure TPG mobile data settings on Android and iOS
Manually configure your TPG mobile APN settings to fix data or MMS issues on the Vodafone Australia network. TPG Telecom merged with Vodafone Australia in 2020, so TPG mobile services use the APN 'live.vodafone.com' with MCC 505 and MNC 03. Most TPG SIM cards auto-configure these values, but unlocked or imported devices often require manual setup. Use the settings below to restore your TPG mobile data connection.

Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions when configuring TPG APN settings.
- No mobile data on TPG SIM
- Ensure the APN is set to 'live.vodafone.com' in lowercase. The APN is case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown. Do not use 'LIVE.VODAFONE.COM' or 'Live.Vodafone.Com'. Set APN Protocol to IPv4/IPv6 for domestic use. Toggle Airplane Mode on and off, then wait 30 seconds for the connection to establish.
- MMS not working on TPG mobile
- Verify the MMSC URL is 'http://pxt.vodafone.net.au/pxtsend' with MMS Proxy set to '10.202.2.60' and MMS Port to '8080'. These are the Vodafone Australia MMS gateway settings used by TPG. MMS requires active mobile data and will not work over WiFi. Ensure your TPG plan includes MMS capability.
- Data works but speeds are very slow
- Delete the existing APN profile and create a fresh one with 'live.vodafone.com' and all the correct settings. Go to Settings and select Reset Network Settings to clear cached configurations. Check that your device supports TPG/Vodafone 4G bands (B3, B7, B28) or 5G bands (n78). If speeds remain poor, check the TPG network status page for outages in your area.
TPG APN Settings FAQ
What is the correct TPG mobile APN?
The correct APN for TPG mobile services in Australia is 'live.vodafone.com'. This is because TPG Telecom merged with Vodafone Australia in 2020, and TPG mobile customers now use the Vodafone network infrastructure. The APN must be entered in lowercase exactly as 'live.vodafone.com'. This single APN supports both internet data and MMS when configured with the correct MMSC and proxy settings.
Why does TPG use the Vodafone APN?
TPG Telecom completed its merger with Vodafone Hutchison Australia in July 2020, creating TPG Telecom Limited. As a result, all TPG mobile services operate on the combined Vodafone Australia network. The APN 'live.vodafone.com' is the standard access point for this network. Other brands under TPG Telecom, including Vodafone, Lebara, and felix, also use the same network infrastructure with MCC 505 and MNC 03.
What are the TPG MCC and MNC codes?
TPG mobile uses MCC 505 and MNC 03. The MCC (Mobile Country Code) 505 identifies Australia, while MNC (Mobile Network Code) 03 identifies the Vodafone/TPG network. This MNC was originally assigned to Vodafone Australia before the merger with TPG. These values are typically auto-detected from your SIM card, but you may need to enter them manually on unlocked or imported phones.
Do I need a username and password for TPG APN?
No, leave the username and password fields blank when configuring TPG APN settings. TPG uses no authentication (Authentication Type set to None) for its APN connections. If your device requires you to select an authentication type, choose 'None' or leave it blank. Entering any username or password values will cause the data connection to fail on the TPG network.
Can I use the same APN for TPG and Vodafone?
Yes, TPG and Vodafone Australia use the same APN 'live.vodafone.com' because they share the same network after the 2020 merger. The MMS settings are also identical, using MMSC 'http://pxt.vodafone.net.au/pxtsend' with proxy '10.202.2.60' on port '8080'. If you switch between a TPG and Vodafone SIM, the same APN configuration will work for both carriers without any changes.
