Access point for roaming after joining Lebara

Stoodles

This is a bit technical, and way outside my understanding.  I hope someone wiser can explain it to me.

I've just moved from Vodafone to Lebara, and want to use roaming in France next week.  Luckily I came across a page on teh Lebara website that says

"The Lebara SIM networks works automatically in the EU. If you have problems with accessing the internet while abroad, please check your data settings and manually set them as below -

• APN name: uk.lebara.mobi
• Username: WAP
• Password: WAP

You will need to restart your phone after you have manually set your data settings."

I've had a bit of a battle to get teh phone to let go of Vodaphone in the Access Point settings, but acheived it.

However, lots of the setting now say Not set,  eg Proxy, Port, server, MMSC etc

Will this work? Is there any way to test it while still in the UK?

Thanks in advance!

The parameters other than those three specified don't need to be set

Thanks, that is reassuring. Is there a way I can check it works before leaving the UK? I'm touring, and need to access My Maps and site finder apps.

The same access point is used in the UK and EU.   If it works in the UK, you should be good for EU.

I'm traveling a lot, so:
if you're online in the UK, if your roaming option is ON, then don't change any APN, it will work abroad fine. Tested many times.

Thanks everybody. It worked!

If you use Google maps then you might want to download a map offline to reduce the need for always needed data for it
