Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions when configuring Lycamobile APN settings.
- MMS messages fail on Lycamobile
- Lycamobile MMS requires the MMSC URL http://mms.lycamobile.co.uk/servlets/mms with proxy 212.183.137.12 and port 8799. Ensure the MMSC URL uses the Lycamobile domain and not a generic MMS server. Check that the APN type includes 'mms' in the comma-separated list.
- No data connection on Lycamobile
- Verify the APN is 'data.lycamobile.co.uk' with username 'lmuk' and password 'plus'. Authentication Type must be PAP. Ensure your Lycamobile account has an active data bundle or credit. Restart your device after saving the APN settings.
- Authentication error on Lycamobile
- The username 'lmuk' and password 'plus' are case-sensitive. Ensure there are no extra spaces before or after the values. Authentication Type must be set to PAP, not None or CHAP. If the error continues, delete the APN profile and create a new one from scratch.
