Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions when configuring Assurance Wireless APN settings.

No internet on Assurance Wireless phone: Ensure the APN is set to 'fast.t-mobile.com' with APN Protocol set to IPv4/IPv6. Toggle Airplane Mode on and off and wait 30 seconds. If the phone was recently activated, it may take up to 24 hours for data service to fully provision.
MMS not working on Assurance Wireless: Verify the MMSC is 'http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc'. Ensure mobile data is enabled since MMS requires a cellular data connection. If MMS still fails, restart your phone and try again. Some Assurance Wireless plans have limited MMS capabilities.
Assurance Wireless data stopped working: Check that your Lifeline service is still active. Assurance Wireless requires annual re-certification to maintain service. If your account has lapsed, contact Assurance Wireless at 1-888-321-5880 to re-verify eligibility. Reset network settings and re-enter the APN if your account is confirmed active.
