Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions when configuring Gen Mobile APN settings.
- No internet after activating Gen Mobile
- Ensure APN is set to 'fast.t-mobile.com' with APN Protocol set to IPv4/IPv6. Toggle Airplane Mode on and off to force a new network registration. Wait 30 seconds after toggling for the connection to establish.
- MMS pictures not sending on Gen Mobile
- Verify the MMSC URL is exactly 'http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc'. Ensure mobile data is enabled because MMS requires a cellular data connection. If the problem persists, add 'mms' to the APN Type field.
- Gen Mobile data slow or intermittent
- Check that APN Protocol is set to IPv4/IPv6 and not just IPv4. Using IPv4 only may route traffic through a slower gateway on the T-Mobile network. Also verify your plan has remaining high-speed data. Toggle Airplane Mode to refresh the connection.
