Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions when configuring Google Fi APN settings.
- No data connection on Google Fi
- Ensure the APN is set to 'h2g2' in lowercase. Google Fi APNs are case-sensitive. Toggle Airplane Mode on and off, then wait 30 seconds. If the issue persists, open the Google Fi app and tap 'Fix connectivity' under the support section.
- MMS messages failing on Google Fi
- Verify the MMSC URL is exactly 'http://mmsc1.g-mms.com/mms/wapenc'. Make sure mobile data is turned on because MMS requires an active cellular data connection. Restart your device after updating the MMSC URL.
- Google Fi not working on iPhone
- Google Fi has limited iPhone compatibility. Ensure your iPhone model is supported by checking the Google Fi website. On iPhone, you may need to install a carrier profile. Go to Settings, then Cellular, then Cellular Data Network, and manually enter 'h2g2' as the APN.
Google Fi APN Settings FAQ
What is the correct Google Fi APN?
The correct APN for Google Fi is 'h2g2'. This must be entered in lowercase for proper connectivity. The APN name is a reference to 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. Google Fi uses T-Mobile as its primary network with MCC 310 and MNC 260, and the MMSC is 'http://mmsc1.g-mms.com/mms/wapenc'.
What network does Google Fi use?
Google Fi primarily uses the T-Mobile network for cellular coverage in the United States. On compatible Pixel and Android phones, Google Fi can also switch between T-Mobile and US Cellular networks for optimal coverage. The service uses MCC 310 and MNC 260, which are T-Mobile's network identifiers.
Does Google Fi work on iPhone?
Google Fi works on iPhone but with limited features. On iPhone, Google Fi operates only on the T-Mobile network without automatic network switching. You need to manually configure the APN to 'h2g2' in the Cellular Data Network settings. Group MMS and visual voicemail may have reduced functionality compared to Android devices.
How do I fix Google Fi connectivity issues?
Start by verifying the APN is 'h2g2' with APN Protocol set to IPv4/IPv6. Toggle Airplane Mode on and off. If that does not work, open the Google Fi app and use the built-in connectivity troubleshooter. You can also try resetting network settings on your device, which will clear all saved WiFi networks and APN configurations.
