Hi laurastr
I have a Nexus 5 too and really struggled with the APN settings
I've posted about it in another thread - found it and copied the settings below
The Tweakker app and the published settings didn't work so try this:
Install guides
Whenever I switched sims (so, when I was in the UK and used a UK sim) the 48 APN settings were erased and I'd have to enter them all over again when I came home and put my 48 sim back in. I got a new micro sim sent out and miraculously, that applies all the correct APN settings straight off with no faffing, so you might think about just getting 48 to send you a new sim and see how you fare

Any use?

Hope this helps.

Hi Musky
This is still working for me - screenshots attached
Crappy signal here so not many bars as you can see but I got some intermittent data! Works fine in other areas. Picture messaging no worky but that is not a problem for me.
Try using those settings, save them (obv), turn the phone off and on.
If that still doesn't work, try ordering a microsim (if you don't already have one).
If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas

Slightly off topic but if you play around with the APN Type setting can you get MMS to work? E.g. see here:

Remember that you need credit to send MMS messages (30c each).
Hope this helps.

@musky Yay! Glad it worked
@dalyer Maybe I could but it ain't worth 30 beans to me to check it, partic when there's so many more useful free ways to send pictures around
Actually, now I think about it, someone sent me a picture message months back (first one i'd received in years) and I couldn't read it, so probably that wouldn't work (I don't tend to keep cash in my 48 balance, so if having less than 30c in credit would have stopped me receiving an MMS then that would have been what stopped it working, but I'm assuming it just costs to send them). Whenever I meddle with APN Type the internet seems to stops working so i'd rather not rock the boat!
If I remember right, to configure MMS you add a second APN rather than ammending the first one - I might give that a go on the off chance that someone I know sends me an MMS by accident one day. I'll repost if it breaks the internet (guessing it won't break the whole internet - just my bit of it, so no need to worry!)

Ok, so I just got curious and added a new MMS APN (in addition to my first one, as you can see from the first screenshot below - I rebooted and happily I still have internet access on my Nexus 5!
Here are screenshots:
I can now (maybe) receive picture messages. Will post back if I ever get one and it works (or doesn't)
Really, does anyone actually use MMS? If so, why?

For what it's worth ... you don't need separate APNs for internet access and MMS.
You can have a single one.
Mine is:
Hope this helps.
