Android - adding Three APN for Internet

Android - adding Three APN for Internet.

The Android is supplied with T-Mobile APNs which is no good if you're on Three.

To get Three, go to Settings > Wireless Control > Mobile Networks (its right down at the bottom).

Press Access Point Names then press Menu and select New APN. Press in each field and set each like this:
    Name - three
    Apn - three.co.uk
    proxy - not set
    port - not set
    Username - not set
    Password - not set
    Server - not set
    MMSC - not set
    MMS proxy - not set
    MMS port - not set
    MCC - 234
    MNC - 20
    APN type - not set

And you should be set. While you're in there if you travel you might want to disable roaming else you're data bill will arrive in s shoebox! Unless you don't pay the bill of course ;-)

  1. Hi

    Is this a phone that is locked to T-Mobile?

  2. It was but it has been unlocked. I can see the signal strength bar picking up signal with the 3 SIM in place but I just can't get into my google account....

  3. Did you create a brand new setting, rather than modify an existing one?

  6. I know this is out of date, but when I went from Orange to 3, I had to phone 3 up and they zapped my phone remotely in some way to get the data working.

    It's worth calling 3, if anyone e;se has a similar problem.
