Hi there,

For APN settings please see our dedicated Help page at https://ee.co.uk/help/mobile/fix-problem/Managing-APN-settings.

Below is a list of EE APN settings for manual input if you need them.

Hi @RH0803

Do you have another device? 

It does not have to be an iPhone. 

Are you able to follow the steps provided on this page to check the APN settings?

Speak soon, 

Katie 🙂

OK we'll try.  We tried to use settings suggested by Vodaphone website and changing the domain to EE but my daughter's phone doesn't appear to have those setting options.  We'll try with my Samsung.  Thank you

Please be sure to keep us updated @RH0803.

I was holding out so much hope for this after having this problem for about a year but it hasn't worked 😞 Any other ideas? I need to access my work VPN from home and always did it by hot spotting off my phone signal (wifi non existing where we live) and one day it just stopped working. EE aren't helpful on the phone and work IT department are blaming EE, there must be a way around it!  Thank you in advance!

Hi @Lucy170,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

Did your IT Team mention what they think is causing the problem?

James

Just that EE are now blocking VPNs and I should speak to them about removing all content blocking in my account. EE are saying its a problem with the way my connection is set up and I need to go back to them. The VPN works perfectly on o2, so EE are the problem!

Hi @Lucy170 

Thanks, we don't block VPN's if this is not working for you this would need to be reported to your IT department to be looked into in more detail. 

Leanne.

Hi Leanne

The fact that my VPN works with an o2 mobile sim for an Internet connection would indicate it is an issue with EE. How would you explain that it works with that network and not yours? Happy for any help please? I have tried to limit the connection to IPv4 rather than IPv6 but this isn't working either. I really don't want to change networks other this but I need to be able to work from home in this way.
Thank you
Lucy

Hi @Lucy170 

I am not aware of any reason for this not to work for you. 

Is anyone else on EE having the same problem? 

Leanne.

There are a lot of forums about people having the same problem. I always used to use my phone as a mobile hot spot as the mobile signal is better here and one day it stopped working. I'm having the same problem with my 4g mobile router on EE. I can connect to my VPN when using WiFi, provided by EE, but one our phone lines are down at the moment and two we only get speeds up to 1mb where we live so it is very slow even when we are up and running. Is there anything else you can suggest?
