I am in the US and got a new lycamobile SIM (Vodafone NL). I got a US local number, can make calls, text and even top up on T-Mobile network. However data is not working.

I set a new APN with the following settings.
APN : data.lycamobile.co.uk
Username: lmuk
Password : plus

The MCC and MNC (which I can't modify) are 204 and 04. I am on Nexus 4 Android 4.3

Any help to get data working is appreciated.

Thanks.

204 04 is a roaming profile. It should not be used when a local number is available in a country. Try changing to US profile in Toggle SIM menu.

You should probably see MCC/MNC 311/960 for US profile.

Thank you. I was able to switch profile, however, there is still no data. I can get on the TMobile network for calls and text. Here's my new APN:

APN : data.lycamobile.co.uk
Username : lmuk
Password : plus
MCC : 311
MNC : 96

MNC was automatically selected as 96. not 960, couldn't modify it.

Thanks.

Did you try to use Lycamobile US' APN?

Yes, I tried lycamobile US APN with ToggleMobile SIM. That didn't work either. I am really confused because I have a Lycamobile US SIM card and that works perfectly fine !!

Are you sure that you are using the American IMSI? And if so could the MCC/MNC tuple be responsible for the failing data session? I'm not sure what this information in the APN configuration does exactly cause under Android but I assume that the corresponding APN will only be used if either your IMSI starts with the given tuple or if you are on the network with this very tuple. In the latter case it would not work as T-Mobile's MNCs differ. Can you add a new APN profile where MCC and MNC remain unset?
311-96 by the way is Lycamobile's American tuple, so I'm not sure why you think it should be 311-960 which seems to be unassigned. Could you be overseeing that the US have multiple MCCs (310-316) and that only 310-960 exists (Plateau Wireless) but not 311-960?

Please ignore my comment on 311-960. That was based on a comment based by a previous poster. I am using 311-96.

I have given up, as I can't get it to work. Tech support repeats the same configuration information which is just wasting their time and mine. I can connect to Lycamobile US. So, there's no problem with the network or the device.

It is either a SIM card issue or configuration issue. I have exhausted all configurations changing APN, SIM profile etc. Thanks for all your help.

New SMS rates: down from 9p to 7p.

Beware: My US number just expired after the 30 days. I forgot to purchase the number and this time I didn't get the 3 days warning SMS I usually get for the other toggle countries.

I registered a new US number (activated within 5 seconds) and got a new area code, this time in Maryland 240-650-xxxx.


@ likea , please insist with support. If they fix the problem for you it will be better for all of us. Thanks.
