Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions when configuring BT Mobile APN settings.

MMS messages fail on BT Mobile: BT Mobile MMS requires the MMSC URL http://mms.bt.com/servlets/mms with proxy mms.bt.com on port 80. Ensure all values are entered correctly. The port 80 is different from most other UK carriers which typically use 8080 or 8799.
No data connection after inserting BT Mobile SIM: Verify the APN is 'btmobile.bt.com' and not just 'bt' or 'internet'. No username or password is needed. Restart your device after saving settings. If the problem continues, check that your SIM is activated by logging into the BT Mobile app.
BT Mobile APN settings not saving on device: Ensure MCC is set to 234 and MNC to 30. These must match the BT Mobile SIM card values. If settings still disappear, try resetting your network settings entirely and then re-entering the APN configuration from scratch.

BT Mobile APN Settings FAQ

What is the correct APN for BT Mobile UK?

The correct APN for BT Mobile in the UK is 'btmobile.bt.com'. No username or password is required. BT Mobile operates on the EE network infrastructure, so it shares the same MCC 234 and MNC 30 codes as EE. However, the APN address itself is different from EE's standard 'everywhere' APN.

Does BT Mobile use the EE network?

Yes, BT Mobile uses the EE network for its mobile services across the United Kingdom. BT Group acquired EE in 2016, and BT Mobile customers benefit from EE's extensive 4G and 5G coverage. Despite sharing the same network, BT Mobile uses its own APN 'btmobile.bt.com' rather than EE's 'everywhere' APN.

What are the BT Mobile MMS settings?

BT Mobile MMS settings require the MMSC URL http://mms.bt.com/servlets/mms, MMS Proxy mms.bt.com, and MMS Port 80. These settings must be entered in addition to the standard APN to enable picture messaging. Without these values, internet browsing will work but MMS sending and receiving will fail.

Do I need a username and password for BT Mobile APN?

No, BT Mobile does not require a username or password for its APN configuration. Leave both fields blank when setting up the APN on your device. The authentication type should be left as Not Set or None. This makes BT Mobile simpler to configure than carriers like Vodafone and O2 which require credentials.

What are the MCC and MNC for BT Mobile?

BT Mobile uses MCC 234 and MNC 30. These are the same network identity codes used by EE, since BT Mobile operates on the EE network. The MCC 234 identifies the United Kingdom and MNC 30 identifies the EE/BT network. These values are pre-configured on your SIM card.
