Orange UK APN and Network Settings
Orange was the third major UK network to release an Android phone under the guise of t
he awesome HTC Hero- but for those of you who are bringing your other phone across the network here are the steps you need to get it working.
Here are some simple instructions which you just need to go through step by step and you will be working 100% on Orange UK.
The following settings have been tested using an Orange pay monthly Tariff. I hope to add other details in the future- if you need any settings specifically or they don’t work- please let me know in a comment below!
Before you Start
If you are transferring over from another network make sure to request your PAC migration code to allow you to port your number across. If you are connecting to Orange then you need to make some changes to get it working.
To get your Unlocked Tmobile G1, HTC Magic to work on o2. ( Not sure how to unlock? Read my post on how to unlock your Android Phone)
Change the following settings
Voicemail
- For me this worked as soon as I dialled 1 from the dialer to access my voicemail.
- If it didn’t for you then you need to Press Menu and click settings
- Press Call Settings->Voicemail
- Set the Voicemail number to be +447973100123
(in my experience you may need to do this a few times so save Orange Voicemail as a contact to speed this up!)
Cool that’s Orange voicemail working!

Nice job
To activate your MMS:
I spoke to Orange and they recommended the following settings, which didn’t seem to work for me, however it may be because my work administrator has blocked MMS.
Here are the settings recommended by Orange:
- finding the settings:
- tap on all programs
- tap on settings
- tap on wireless controls
- tap on mobile network settings
- tap on access point names
- tap the menu key
- tap on new APN
- enter the following information
MMS data settings:
- Name = Orange MMS
- APN = orangemms
- Proxy = 192.168.224.010
- Port = 8080
- Username = Orange
- Password = Multimedia
- Server = Leave blank
- MMSC = http://mms.orange.co.uk
- MMS proxy = 192.168.224.010
- MMS port = 8080
- MMS protocol = WAP 2.0
- MCC = 234
- MNC = 33
- APN type = mms
Hopefully you are all working. Let me know!
