FP3 With /E/ OS not working with Vodafone APN

I have a problem using the FP3 on /E/ OS that with 3G data downloads work, while enablIng LTE+ there is no possibility to download apps or large video attachments in Whatsapp or Signal.

I am using Vodafone NL SIM card and have the APN settings on live.vodafone.com

Spone.pelephone.net.il and ziggo.dataxs.mobi APNs work well. Anyone experiencing similar Vodafone APN issues on /E/ OS?

Does browsing the web work fine? How is the LTE signal strength? Try to change your location to see if it makes a difference.

Browsing the Internet goes slow. I see full Vodafone LTE coverage in different locations and abroad. It just seems verrrrry slow with the vodafone APN selected.

Have you set user/password to vodafone/vodafone? VF has a very detailed instruction at

You could also give office.vodafone.com a try (found that APN on numerous websites, but cannot try myself since I live in Germany). If that does not work, I would contact their support. Maybe a SIM swap can help.

Otherwise, /e/ might also be the culprit here. It is still beta software officially (see their FAQ, q “Is /e/ stable?”).

Running identical setup but with FP6 instead.
In Netherlands there was no issue, but traveling to Spain I got stuck without data access.
It and up getting resolved bye switching the APN’s (but forget with one). But by default its was trying to connect to one it wouldn’t allow for data, only call’s.
