BT Mobile APN Settings for UK

Runs on EE network 5G supported

Last verified: July 2025

BT Mobile is the mobile arm of BT Group, which also owns EE — the UK's largest mobile network. BT Mobile runs on EE's network infrastructure, giving it access to EE's extensive 4G and 5G coverage. BT Mobile offers plans that bundle with BT broadband, providing discounts for existing BT customers. BT Mobile's APN — btmobile.bt.com — is distinct from EE's 'everywhere' APN, even though they share the same network. The MMS proxy for BT Mobile (149.254.201.135) is also different from EE's proxy, so don't mix up the two. No authentication credentials are required. BT Mobile supports 5G on compatible devices and plans.

BT Mobile APN Troubleshooting

Remove and reinsert your SIM. Contact BT Mobile support to request manual APN access if the issue persists. BT Mobile SIMs occasionally push OTA configuration that locks the editor.
Confirm APN is selected and mobile data is enabled. APN must be exactly btmobile.bt.com — this is different from EE's APN. Check your BT Mobile account and data allowance in the My BT app.
BT Mobile uses a different MMS proxy to EE: 149.254.201.135. Ensure this is entered correctly. MMSC should be http://mms/ (with a trailing slash) and port 8080.
Contact BT Mobile support to disable OTA configuration pushes. BT Mobile support is available through the My BT app or BT's website.
Check MCC 234 and MNC 30. BT Mobile uses EE's network identifiers (MNC 30), not its own. This is the most common cause of 'no service' when manually entering BT Mobile APN settings.
