Network Reset on OnePlus for EE

Understand what a network reset does
A network reset on OnePlus removes all saved Wi-Fi passwords, Bluetooth pairings, APN settings, and VPN configurations. It does NOT delete photos, apps, or personal data. It forces EE to re-provision your network settings.
Perform network reset on OnePlus
Go to Settings → System → Reset options → Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth and confirm. Your OnePlus will restart automatically. This process takes 30–60 seconds.
Wait for EE re-registration
After restart, allow 3–5 minutes for your EE SIM to re-register on the network. Mobile data, calls and texts should restore automatically.
Re-enter EE APN settings
After a network reset, verify APN settings at Settings → Wi-Fi & network → SIM & network → Access point names. If the EE APN profile was cleared, add it manually: APN: everywhere.
Reconnect to saved Wi-Fi networks
Network reset removes all saved Wi-Fi passwords. You will need to reconnect to your home and other saved networks manually and re-enter passwords.
Test all connectivity
Test EE mobile data by opening a browser. Test calls by making a test call. Test SMS by sending a text. If any feature fails, proceed to individual fix guides.
Contact EE if problems persist
If network reset does not resolve your issue, call 150 (free from EE mobile). Persistent problems after a network reset usually require EE to resend provisioning or replace your SIM.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does resetting network settings delete data on OnePlus?

No — a network reset on OnePlus only removes network-related settings: Wi-Fi passwords, Bluetooth pairings, APN configurations and VPN settings. All photos, apps, contacts, messages and personal data remain completely untouched.

How long does a EE network reset take?

The reset process on OnePlus takes 30–60 seconds and involves an automatic restart. After restarting, allow 3–5 minutes for your EE SIM to re-register on the network. Mobile data, calls and texts should restore automatically without any additional steps.

Will I need to re-enter EE APN settings after a network reset?

Possibly — a network reset may clear custom APN settings. After resetting, go to Settings → Wi-Fi & network → SIM & network → Access point names and verify the EE APN profile reads: APN: everywhere. If the profile was cleared, add it manually using the EE APN values.
