Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions when configuring Cricket Wireless APN settings.
- No internet on Cricket Wireless
- Ensure the APN is set to 'ndo' and not a generic value like 'internet'. Cricket uses its own dedicated APN separate from AT&T's 'nxtgenphone'. Toggle Airplane Mode on and off, then wait 30 seconds for the data connection to register.
- MMS pictures failing on Cricket
- Verify the MMSC is 'http://mmsc.aiowireless.net' and MMS Proxy is 'proxy.aiowireless.net' with port 80. All three MMS fields must be correctly entered. Ensure mobile data is turned on because MMS requires an active cellular data connection.
- Cricket APN settings greyed out
- If APN fields cannot be edited, reset network settings on your device. Go to Settings, then System, then Reset Options, and select Reset WiFi, Mobile, and Bluetooth. After the reset, re-enter the Cricket APN values and restart your phone.
Cricket Wireless APN Settings FAQ
What is the correct APN for Cricket Wireless?
The correct APN for Cricket Wireless is 'ndo'. Cricket uses its own dedicated APN even though it operates on the AT&T network. The MMS center is 'http://mmsc.aiowireless.net' with proxy 'proxy.aiowireless.net' on port 80. The MCC is 310 and MNC is 150, which are Cricket's specific network identifiers.
What network does Cricket Wireless use?
Cricket Wireless is a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T and operates on AT&T's nationwide 4G LTE and 5G network. However, Cricket uses its own MCC/MNC codes (310/150) and its own APN infrastructure rather than AT&T's standard settings. This means you cannot use AT&T APN settings on a Cricket SIM card.
Why is my Cricket data not working after switching phones?
When you move your Cricket SIM to a new phone, the APN settings may not transfer automatically. You need to manually enter APN 'ndo' with the correct MMSC and proxy values. Go to your phone's APN settings, create a new profile with the Cricket values, save it, and select it as the active APN. Restart your phone after making changes.
Can I use AT&T APN settings on Cricket?
No, you cannot use AT&T APN settings on a Cricket Wireless SIM card. While Cricket operates on the AT&T network, it has its own dedicated APN ('ndo') and MMS infrastructure. Using AT&T's APN 'nxtgenphone' with a Cricket SIM will result in no data connectivity. Always use Cricket's specific APN settings.
