Telecel SIMs usually configure themselves. But if you moved your SIM to a new or imported phone, or a software update reset things, you may need to set the internet settings yourself.
Telecel internet settings at a glance
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Telecel |
| APN | browse |
| Everything else | Leave as default |
The APN browse is the one listed for Telecel’s network (620-02, formerly Vodafone Ghana) in Android’s built-in carrier database. If it does not work on your line, call Telecel customer care to confirm the current settings.
On Android
- Open Settings and go to Connections or Network & internet, then Mobile networks.
- Tap Access Point Names (or search Settings for “APN”).
- Tap the menu or + and choose New APN.
- Name: Telecel. APN: browse.
- Save, then tap the circle to select the new APN.
- Turn mobile data off and on.
Before adding a new APN, try Reset to default in the APN screen’s menu; it often restores the right settings. Full walkthrough in how to configure internet settings on Android.
On iPhone
iPhones usually set this automatically. If there is a Mobile Data Network option under Settings → Mobile Data, open it and enter browse as the APN for mobile data. If you do not see that option, your iPhone is using the network’s settings and you should not need to change anything.
Settings right, but still no data?
- Check your bundle with *124# (airtime and bundles) or *126# (bundles only).
- Night bundle only? Telecel night data works from 12am to 5am.
- Data finished? Telecel blocks data when bundles run out, unless you allowed pay-as-you-go browsing.
- Work through our fixes for mobile data not working.

Common questions
What is the Telecel internet APN?
“browse”, as listed in Android’s carrier database for Telecel’s network.
Do I need to set the APN on iPhone?
Usually not. iPhones normally use the network’s settings automatically.
My settings are right but data still fails. Why?
Check your bundle with *124# or *126#. Telecel blocks data when bundles finish unless pay-as-you-go browsing is allowed.
Is Telecel the same network as Vodafone Ghana?
Yes. Telecel is the former Vodafone Ghana, and Android’s carrier database still lists its network under the Vodafone name.
