Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions when configuring Maxis APN settings.
- No data connection on Maxis or Hotlink SIM
- Ensure the APN is 'unet' with username 'maxis' and password 'wap'. Authentication type must be set to PAP. The alternative APN 'max4g' also works. Toggle Airplane Mode on and off after saving. Check that your data plan is active by dialing *100#.
- MMS not working on Maxis
- Verify MMSC is 'http://172.16.74.100:10021/mmsc' with MMS Proxy '202.75.133.49' and port '80'. Note that Maxis uses port 80 for MMS, not the more common 8080. Mobile data must be enabled for MMS to function.
- Maxis 5G not connecting
- Check your Maxis plan includes 5G via Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) and your device supports the n28 and n78 5G bands used in Malaysia. Update your SIM card at a Maxis center if it is not 5G-enabled. Set preferred network type to 5G/NR in device settings.
Maxis APN Settings FAQ
What is the correct Maxis APN?
The correct APN for Maxis internet in Malaysia is 'unet'. An alternative APN 'max4g' also works and may provide similar performance. Both require username 'maxis' and password 'wap' with PAP authentication. The same settings work for Hotlink prepaid subscribers since Hotlink operates on the Maxis network.
What are the Maxis MCC and MNC codes?
Maxis uses MCC 502 (Malaysia country code) and MNC 12 (Maxis network identifier). These codes are automatically detected from the SIM card by your device. Manual entry is only necessary if the fields appear blank in your APN configuration. Both Maxis postpaid and Hotlink prepaid SIM cards use the same MCC and MNC values.
Why does Maxis APN require a username and password?
Maxis uses PAP authentication for its mobile data service, requiring username 'maxis' and password 'wap'. These are standard credentials shared by all Maxis and Hotlink subscribers. They are not linked to your personal account. Without these credentials, your device cannot authenticate and establish a data session on the Maxis network.
Are Maxis and Hotlink APN settings the same?
Yes, Maxis and Hotlink use identical APN settings because Hotlink is the prepaid brand of Maxis operating on the same network. Use APN 'unet' with username 'maxis' and password 'wap' for both brands. The MCC (502) and MNC (12) are also identical. No separate configuration is needed for Hotlink SIM cards.
How do I get Maxis APN settings automatically?
Maxis automatically configures APN settings on most devices when a SIM card is inserted. If settings are not received, restart your device or dial *100# to access the Maxis self-service menu. You can also visit the Maxis app for device setup assistance. For imported or unlocked devices, manual configuration using the values on this page is recommended.
