Help Mobile Network Problem

Android Enthusiast
My Mobile Network has stopped working this morning,

I'm currently getting a message reading as follows -

'Connection failed due to incorrect APN setting'

Obviously my next port of call is to contact orange,
But was wondering if anyone new anything about APN settings??
 
Hopefully this works...

Before you Start
If you are transferring over from another network make sure to request your PAC migration code to allow you to port your number across. If you are connecting to Orange then you need to make some changes to get it working.

Change the following settings

Voicemail
For me this worked as soon as I dialled 1 from the dialer to access my voicemail.
If it didn’t for you then you need to Press Menu and click settings
Press Call Settings->Voicemail
Set the Voicemail number to be +447973100123
(in my experience you may need to do this a few times so save Orange Voicemail as a contact to speed this up!)

Cool that’s Orange voicemail working!

Android APN and Data Settings for Orange UK
I have put the settings below however if you find that they are not working , then just dial 156 to get to the support team for settings-(and let me know via comment so I can update this post)
Go to settings -> wireless controls
Go to Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names
Make sure you select and delete each APN on the list.
Click Menu and select New APN
Use the following settings:
Name = Orange Internet
APN = orangeinternet (case sensitive)
MCC:234
MNC:33
APN Type: default
Ignore everything else and leave it as <Not set>
Then press menu and save and then turn off the phone and restart and you are done!
Market should be working, email working and your browser is now working!
Nice job

To activate your MMS:
I spoke to Orange and they recommended the following settings, which didn&#8217;t seem to work for me, however it may be because my work administrator has blocked MMS.

Here are the settings recommended by Orange:

finding the settings:
tap on all programs
tap on settings
tap on wireless controls
tap on mobile network settings
tap on access point names
tap the menu key
tap on new APN
enter the following information
MMS data settings:

Name = Orange MMS
APN = orangemms
Proxy = 192.168.224.010
Port = 8080
Username = Orange
Password = Multimedia
Server = Leave blank
MMSC = http://mms.orange.co.uk
MMS proxy = 192.168.224.010
MMS port = 8080
MMS protocol = WAP 2.0
MCC = 234
MNC = 33
APN type = mms

Hope this helps :)
 
thanks for the advice but turns out it isnt needed,

Tried phone on and off and all that jazz didnt work,
Then 10 mins ago as suddenly as it had stopped it started working again! :)

I assume it was an issue on oranges end :mad:

I see you're on Orange. They had a fault earlier whereby, if you lost connection, you were unable to re-register on the network until they'd fixed the fault. You were okay though as long as you remained connected.
