Asda Mobile APN Settings
Quick Answer
The Asda Mobile APN is MY.INTERNET, which Asda writes in capitals, with wap as both username and password. Asda publishes no MMS settings at all — if picture messaging is broken you need to call them on +44 (0) 747 002 2732.
Asda Mobile documents its mobile data settings clearly enough, and then stops. There is nothing published for picture messaging, which is worth knowing before you go hunting for it.
Asda Mobile APN Settings
| Name | ASDA internet |
| APN | MY.INTERNET |
| Username | wap |
| Password | wap |
| Authentication type | Not published by the operator |
| APN type | Not published by the operator |
| MCC / MNC | Not published by the operator |
| Proxy / Port / Server | Not published by the operator |
| APN protocol | Not published by the operator |
Asda writes the APN in uppercase, so that is how it is reproduced here. Android generally treats the APN string as case-insensitive, but there is nothing to gain from departing from what the operator publishes.
The same three values double as Asda’s personal hotspot settings on iPhone, which Asda lists separately even though they are the same.
Asda Publishes No MMS Settings
This is a real gap rather than a shortfall in our research. Asda’s support pages cover mobile data and personal hotspot and contain nothing for picture messaging — no MMSC, no MMS proxy, no MMS port.
We are not going to fill that in from a settings-listing site. A wrong MMSC produces picture messages that silently fail to send, which is harder to diagnose than data that plainly does not work, and those sites are where such values come from. If MMS is broken on an Asda SIM, call Asda on +44 (0) 747 002 2732 and ask for the current values.
Entering Asda Mobile APN Settings
On Android, go to Settings > Connections or Network & Internet > Mobile networks > Access Point Names, then add a new APN with the values above. Save it, select it, and restart. On iPhone the equivalent is Settings > Mobile Data > Mobile Data Network.
Asda’s own position is that none of this should be necessary: the settings “should already be sent to or set up on your mobile phone”, with manual entry reserved for when that has not happened. Per-device menu paths are in our Android and iPhone guides.
If Asda Mobile Data Still Will Not Work
Check the dot in MY.INTERNET — it is commonly typed as MYINTERNET or MY INTERNET, neither of which works. Confirm the profile is selected rather than merely saved, then restart. If you moved to Asda on a handset that was previously with another network, an old profile may still be active. Beyond that, mobile data not working covers the causes that are nothing to do with the APN.
Asda Mobile Runs on Vodafone
Asda’s own site labels its plans “Vodafone (powered by)” and refers to the Vodafone and Three networks together, reflecting the merged VodafoneThree. Asda has its own APN, and Vodafone’s wap.vodafone.co.uk will not work on an Asda SIM — though it is worth noting the wap / wap credentials are shared, which is a Vodafone platform convention. See Vodafone APN settings for those.

What is the APN for Asda Mobile?
Asda publishes the APN as MY.INTERNET in capitals, with wap as both the username and the password, under the profile name ASDA internet. Enter it exactly as Asda writes it, including the dot.
What are the Asda Mobile MMS settings?
Asda does not publish any. Its support pages cover mobile data and personal hotspot only, with nothing for picture messaging — a genuine gap in Asda’s documentation rather than something tucked away. If MMS is not working on an Asda SIM, the honest answer is to call Asda on +44 (0) 747 002 2732, free from an Asda Mobile phone. Any site presenting Asda MMS values is not getting them from Asda.
Which network does Asda Mobile use?
Vodafone. Asda labels its own plans “Vodafone (powered by)” and says customers benefit from the Vodafone and Three networks, reflecting the merged VodafoneThree. Asda has changed host network more than once over the years and publishes no date against the current arrangement, so treat undated Asda settings guides with caution.
Do Asda Mobile settings arrive automatically?
Asda says they should already be sent to or set up on your phone, and frames manual entry as something to check only if you are having difficulties. There is no configuration text message or shortcode you can trigger yourself.
What are the Asda Mobile personal hotspot settings?
The same three values as mobile data: APN MY.INTERNET with wap as username and password. Asda lists them separately for iPhone tethering, but they are identical.
Is asdamobile.co.uk the official Asda Mobile site?
No, that domain does not resolve at all. Asda Mobile’s live site is mobile.asda.com, so anything citing asdamobile.co.uk as its source for Asda APN settings is not reading a live Asda page.
