Network Reset on OnePlus for O2
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 O2 to re-provision your network settings.
Go to Settings → System → Reset options → Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth and confirm. Your OnePlus will restart automatically. This process takes 30–60 seconds.
After restart, allow 3–5 minutes for your O2 SIM to re-register on the network. Mobile data, calls and texts should restore automatically.
After a network reset, verify APN settings at Settings → Wi-Fi & network → SIM & network → Access point names. If the O2 APN profile was cleared, add it manually: APN: mobile.o2.co.uk.
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 O2 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.
If network reset does not resolve your issue, call 202 (free from O2). Persistent problems after a network reset usually require O2 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 O2 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 O2 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 O2 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 O2 APN profile reads: APN: mobile.o2.co.uk. If the profile was cleared, add it manually using the O2 APN values.
