Second APN appeared. Why? How? Is it a security issue?

Hi,

I'm sure that the last time I looked there were no names listed under APNs.

I have one named:

EE Internet ("everywhere" is underneath this APN name) there is a circle to the far right with a solid dot in the centre. It does not do anything when pressed. Kinda glad because I don't know what I am doing!

SECOND APN (Absolutely sure this has just appeared)

APN name:

EE MMS ("eezone" under the name). No circle on the far right like the one described above.

Hi @Markjh

They are on the SIM and perfectly normal. As you can see one is for MMS settings and one for Internet settings.

Thanks

I normally ignore or delete MMS Pushed Settings on Devices and Phones, that way I shouldn't get unexpected expensive Charges outside of my Allowances from any Network like I have done in the past, some charges can be over 50p per hit.

The way I see it is if someone want to send me something outside of a normal Text / SMS Message rather than email or WhatsApp then I'm not interested in it.
