How to Set EE APN on iPad
Go to Settings → Mobile Data → toggle Mobile Data and ensure the toggle is enabled. Mobile data must be active before APN settings take effect on EE.
Navigate to Settings → Mobile Data → Mobile Data Network. You will see a list of existing APN profiles.
Tap each existing APN profile and delete entries that do not match EE official values. Outdated profiles cause conflicts.
Tap the + or Add icon to create a new entry. Enter the following EE APN values exactly as shown — including correct capitalisation.
In the APN field type exactly: everywhere. This is the gateway address EE uses for all mobile data traffic.
Enter MMSC: http://mms/ — this is required for picture messages to send and receive on EE.
Tap Save (or the overflow menu → Save). Tap the radio button next to your new EE profile to select it as active.
Open a browser and navigate to a website. If pages load, your EE APN is configured correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EE APN name?
The EE APN is everywhere. This is the exact value to enter in the APN field on your iPad. On some devices the field is case-sensitive — enter it exactly as shown in lowercase.
Do I need a username and password for EE APN?
For EE, the username is eesecure and password is secure. If your device shows Authentication Type, set it to PAP or CHAP. Leave blank if your device does not require it.
Why did my EE APN settings disappear?
APN settings can be cleared by a factory reset, a network settings reset, or a carrier update that pushes default profiles. They can also be overwritten if another app modifies network settings. Re-enter EE APN values manually after any reset.
