APN & Cellphone Setup

Boost Mobile APN settings for iPhone & Android

If you switched to Boost Mobile and data, picture messages (MMS) or hotspot stopped working, your phone is probably still using your old carrier's APN. Enter the Boost Mobile settings below exactly as shown, save, restart — then test with Wi-Fi off.

📱 iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data Network🤖 Android: Settings → Network → Mobile Network → APN → + New🔄 Always restart after saving

Boost Mobile

Field rule: use the row for the network your Boost SIM runs on — Dish-network SIMs use fast.dish.com, T-Mobile-network SIMs use boost.data. If you are not sure which SIM you have, the Boost app shows it; do not enter both APNs and guess.

APN NameBoost Mobile
APN — Dish-network SIMfast.dish.com
APN — T-Mobile-network SIMboost.data

  1. Delete any old APNs from your previous carrier (keep only this one selected).
  2. Save → select the new APN → toggle Airplane Mode for 10 seconds.
  3. Test: turn Wi-Fi OFF, load a page, send a picture message, test hotspot.

Troubleshooting Boost Mobile

Boost-specific check: Boost sells lines on two different networks, so the same phone model can need either APN. Before retyping anything, open the Boost app and confirm which network your SIM is on, then keep only that one APN and delete the other — having fast.dish.com and boost.data both saved, with the wrong one selected, is the classic Boost no-data loop.
