Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions when configuring Lebara APN settings.

MMS messages fail on Lebara: Lebara has its own MMS server at http://mms.lebara.co.uk/servlets/mms, separate from the Vodafone MMS server. The MMS Proxy is 212.183.137.12 and Port is 8799. Ensure you are using the Lebara MMSC URL and not the Vodafone one.
No data connection on Lebara: Verify the APN is 'uk.lebara.mobi' and not the Vodafone APN. Username must be 'wap' and password must be 'wap' with PAP authentication. Ensure your Lebara account has an active data plan or sufficient credit balance, then restart your device.
Data connection keeps dropping on Lebara: Check that Authentication Type is set to PAP and not None. Lebara requires PAP authentication unlike VOXI and some other Vodafone MVNOs. Also verify the APN Protocol is set to IPv4. If the problem continues, try resetting network settings on your device.

Lebara APN Settings FAQ

What is the correct APN for Lebara UK?

The correct APN for Lebara UK is 'uk.lebara.mobi'. You need to enter the username 'wap' and password 'wap' with PAP authentication. This is Lebara's dedicated APN and is different from Vodafone's standard APN 'wap.vodafone.co.uk'. Using the Vodafone APN will not work on a Lebara SIM card.

Does Lebara use the Vodafone network?

Yes, Lebara operates as an MVNO on Vodafone's network in the United Kingdom. It uses the same MCC 234 and MNC 15 network identity as Vodafone. However, Lebara has its own dedicated APN 'uk.lebara.mobi' and its own MMS server. Lebara customers benefit from Vodafone's 4G and 5G coverage across the UK.

What are the Lebara MMS settings?

Lebara MMS settings use MMSC URL http://mms.lebara.co.uk/servlets/mms, MMS Proxy 212.183.137.12, and MMS Port 8799. The MMSC URL is Lebara-specific, while the proxy address is shared with Vodafone's infrastructure. Without these settings entered correctly, internet browsing will work but picture messages will not send or receive.

What username and password does Lebara use?

Lebara uses the username 'wap' and password 'wap' for APN authentication. These credentials are the same as Vodafone's default credentials, reflecting Lebara's use of the Vodafone network. Authentication Type must be set to PAP. Both values are case-sensitive and must be entered in lowercase.

Can I use Vodafone APN settings on Lebara?

No, Vodafone APN settings will not work on a Lebara SIM. While Lebara uses the same username 'wap' and password 'wap' as Vodafone, the APN must be 'uk.lebara.mobi' instead of 'wap.vodafone.co.uk'. The MMSC URL is also different between the two. Always use Lebara-specific settings for correct connectivity.
