48 APN keeps reverting back to Tesco Mobile APN any solution

Anon — Sat, 17 Sep 2016 10:14:28 GMT

I have a new unlicked Samsung Galaxy A3. I joined 48 and the APN automatically went to Tesco Mobile. I have deleted it everyday and manually set up the 48 APN but it keeps reverting back to Tesco Mobile after a few hours.I have also used the 48 tweaker to no avail. If I can't find a solution and I have Google this for a long time and can't find solution I am going to have to leave 48. Has anyone had a similar problem or have a solution to this problem. I have contacted 48 but they seem unable to assist.

This issue has been reported before but I haven't seen a general solution either.

http://community.48months.ie/t5/Need-Help/Internet-issues-after-moving-from-Tesco-mobile-to-48/td-p/666

Samsung Galaxy phones seem to be generally very temperamental when it comes to settings and retaining them reliably.

Maybe try a replacement SIM to see if it makes a difference?

Is your phone on the latest software available?

If the phone is seeing 48 as Tesco then that's an error on Samsung's part.

Hope this helps.

Hi @Anon, just wondering if you got sorted with this and how you're getting on?

Just started happening on my wifes Samsung S5.

Got this reply from 48

We're aware of Tesco taking over APN settings. They've been doing this in most Android handsets and we're unsure why they're doing that. We've already raised a case with HQ to get in touch with Tesco to find out why they're doing that and to stop it. This is still under investigation.

That's a bit of a joke seeing as you reported this in 2016.

Constantly happens abroad, failed to fix despite emailing 48 support every day for a week.

Very disappointing..

Strange - I also use the Poco F1 and have never had this problem...

Same here. Never been a Tesco customer.

My phone is a Motorola Moto E7, and I had the same issue with my previous phone (same SIM) Motorola Moto G (1st Gen).

It happens a lot when going abroad, but also in Ireland (like today).

Very annoying to see 48 doing nothing about it after so many years!

Having the same issue on a Samsung A52. Any insight on how to get it resolved would be greatly appreciated as it is my elderly father's phone. He just arrived back from a weekend in the UK and it's unusable. Can't manually change the APN

Managed to resolve using the 48 Sim menu
