Here are the APN and MMS settings for all the SKY mobile users.

An Access Point Name (APN) Settings is a network identifier that allows your mobile device to connect to the internet.

Here’s How to Get Sky Mobile APN settings

here are the steps to update your mobile network settings for a Sky Mobile SIM card:

  • Sign in to your “My Sky” account.
  • Select the SIM/mobile number you’re experiencing issues with.
  • Scroll down within the account interface and look for the option to “Request network settings.”
  • Click on this option to initiate the request.

After you’ve requested the network settings, Sky Mobile will send a notification to your device with instructions on what to do next. This notification may take up to 5 minutes to arrive.

If you are using an Android device and are asked for a PIN during the setup process, the default PIN is 1111. Use this PIN if required to complete the network settings update.

There are two main types of Sky Mobile APN: primary and secondary. The primary APN is the default APN that is used for most mobile data activities. The secondary APN is used for specific mobile data activities, such as tethering or MMS.

Benefits of using Sky Mobile APN

There are several benefits to using Sky Mobile APN, including:

  • Improved mobile data performance
  • Better reliability
  • Access to all Sky Mobile features and services

Your device should automatically detect the Sky Mobile APN settings. If it doesn’t, you can enter the following details:

  • Username: (leave blank)
  • Password: (leave blank)
  • MCC: 234
  • MNC: 26

Once you have entered the APN details, tap on “Save.” Your device should now be connected to the Sky Mobile mobile data network.

Troubleshooting

roubleshooting StepHow I Fixed It and Why It WorkedRight/Wrong
1. Verify APN SettingsI found that even a small typo in the APN field (mobile.sky) could cause no internet connectivity. Double-checking every field in the settings fixed my issue instantly.
2. Use “default,supl,mms” for APN TypeInitially, I left the APN Type field blank, and MMS wouldn’t send. Adding default,supl,mms resolved the issue by correctly routing traffic for internet and multimedia messages.
3. Switch APN Protocol to IPv4/IPv6My device was set to IPv4 only, which limited compatibility with certain apps. Switching to IPv4/IPv6 gave me better speeds and reduced latency, especially for video calls.
4. Clear Network CacheWhen my phone couldn’t connect after switching SIM cards, clearing the network cache via Reset Network Settings resolved lingering configuration conflicts.
5. Avoid Using Unused Proxy FieldsI added a proxy value without knowing its purpose. This caused my browser to fail loading pages. Leaving the proxy field blank restored normal browsing behavior.
6. Test Alternative APNsUsing mobile.sky didn’t work in one specific location. I tried an alternative APN (mobile.o2), which temporarily improved connectivity until the main network was restored.
7. Set Bearer to “LTE Only”I left the Bearer setting as “Unspecified,” which caused my phone to connect to slower 3G networks. Manually setting it to LTE ensured my device used the fastest available connection.
8. Forget Wi-Fi Networks During TestingForgetting saved Wi-Fi networks ensured my phone wasn’t defaulting to Wi-Fi during tests. This step revealed that the issue was with the mobile data, not the local Wi-Fi network.
9. Avoid Resetting APN Without BackupsI reset my APN settings without backing them up, which erased custom configurations I needed. Always back up your settings before attempting a reset.
10. Update Device FirmwareAfter an Android update, my phone couldn’t save new APN settings. Updating the firmware resolved this compatibility issue and ensured the latest network features were supported.

  1. Absolute star. Never been able to access internet without wifi and found I had no apn settings. Got sky to send them to my phone but they only sent mms settings.
    So internet still didn’t work.
    Been all over the net trying to resolve and your post speccing the internet settings did the trick. Thankyou very much indeed.
