    Anybody know what the APN settings are for getting data on Lycamobile?

    I saw the thread from around a year ago and followed the settings but it didn't work so am wondering if they have changed since.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thanks for the replies, however that is the method I tried and it didn't work. So after a bit more digging I found https://www.lycamobile.ie/en/mobilewebsettings

    Similar to what you have above but what worked for me was:

    Go to SETTINGS - sim cards & mobile networks - on top right LYCAMOBILE press arrow - ACCESS POINT NAMES - press at bottom centre left +NEW APN - Top of page press NAME - type in lower case .. "lyca internet"then press OK.. second line press APN - type lower case "data.lycamobile.ie "then press OK.. - USERNAME - type in lower case "lmie" and finally - PASSWORD - type in lower case "plus" -- coming back out a few menus at earlier stage" on top right LYCAMOBILE press arrow then " as above then press Preffered network type --PREFER 3G..

    Worked straight away after that.:)
