Boost Mobile APN Settings for Android: Which List to Use in 2026

There is no single Boost Mobile APN settings for Android list that fits every SIM. Boost’s own support page still publishes two profiles: ereseller and wireless.dish.com. Pick the wrong one and you get bars with no data, or data with dead picture texts.

Do this first: install Boost Config from Google Play, then restart. Boost says that app reads your SIM and writes the right carrier settings. Manual APNs come after that, not before.

Why every Boost APN article disagrees

Boost changed networks more than once. Sprint sold it. Dish built its own 5G. EchoStar then shut that radio network down.

SDxCentral, citing EchoStar’s 10-K, says Boost moved all customer traffic off its own 5G radios onto AT&T on 15 November 2025. Boost still runs its own 5G core. AT&T supplies the towers. EchoStar also said customers keep T-Mobile access as a second layer.

That is why the web is a mess. You will see:

• Boost_Mobile with mm.myboostmobile.com — old Boost branding, still on some phones
• ereseller — AT&T-side profile on Boost’s own APN page
• wireless.dish.com — T-Mobile / Dish-side profile on that same page
• boost.data — older T-Mobile-era leftover

Copying one blog’s “2026 APN” without checking your SIM is how people sit for an hour typing values that will never work.

Which Boost APN you actually need

Use this order. Stop when data and MMS both work.

1. Boost Config. Install it, reboot, wait two minutes, test data. The app hides from the app drawer. That is normal.
2. Match the SIM. Black AT&T-partner SIMs often need ereseller. White or orange T-Mobile-partner SIMs often need wireless.dish.com. Rainbow SIMs used to camp on Boost’s own radios; after the 2025 move they still may need a Boost-pushed profile, not a guess.
3. Check ICCID on the SIM tray or under Settings > About phone > SIM status. Numbers starting 8901410 or 8901280 point at AT&T-side. 8901260 or 8901240 point at T-Mobile-side. That mapping comes from long-running Boost SIM threads, not from Boost’s public APN page, so treat it as a hint.
4. If you still have no idea, enter the two official profiles below one at a time. Save, select, reboot, test. Do not mix fields from both.

Also check the Boost app: the line must be active and paid. Boost’s basic troubleshooting puts a past-due account above any APN tweak.

Official Boost APN values (from Boost’s support page)

Boost’s Android APN page tells you to ignore fields it does not list. Leave those blank.

Profile 1 — ereseller (AT&T-side)

Field	Value
Name	boost
APN	ereseller
MMSC	http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy	proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port	80
APN type	default,mms,supl,fota,xcap
APN protocol	IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol	IPv4/IPv6
APN enable	Enabled
MVNO type	GID

Profile 2 — wireless.dish.com (T-Mobile-side)

Field	Value
Name	boost
APN	wireless.dish.com
MMSC	http://wholesale.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc
MMS port	80
APN type	default,mms
APN protocol	IPv4/IPv6
MVNO type	GID

If your phone already shows Boost_Mobile

Some Android phones still auto-fill this older profile. First-page blogs treat it as the only 2026 APN. Boost’s own page does not. Use this table as a leave-it list, not as the first thing you type.

Field	Boost_Mobile (leave it if it already works)
Name	Boost Mobile
APN	Boost_Mobile
MMSC	http://mm.myboostmobile.com
MMS proxy	68.28.31.7
MMS port	80
MCC / MNC	310 / 870 (if your phone filled them)
APN type	default,supl,mms
APN protocol	IPv4/IPv6

If that profile is already selected and data plus MMS work, stop. If it does not work after the 2025 AT&T move, switch to ereseller or wireless.dish.com. Do not mix MMSC from one list with APN from the other.

Last-resort leftovers you may still see on a 2022-era SIM: boost.data (old T-Mobile-side) or cinet.spcs (Sprint-era). Try those only after Config and both official profiles fail, then call Boost. Those names are dying with the old provisioning.

Skip Play Store “APN booster” apps. Boost Config is the only carrier app that belongs here.

How to enter Boost APN settings on Android

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap Network & internet or Connections.
3. Tap Mobile networks. Turn Mobile data on.
4. Tap Access Point Names (sometimes under Advanced).
5. Tap Add or the plus sign.
6. Enter one official profile. Ignore fields Boost does not list.
7. Open the three-dot menu. Tap Save.
8. Select the new APN on the list.
9. Restart the phone, or toggle Airplane Mode for 30 seconds.

Samsung path: Settings > Connections > Mobile networks > Access Point Names. Pixel path: Settings > Network & internet > SIMs > Access Point Names.

After reboot, open a page with Wi-Fi off. Then send yourself a photo text. Data without MMS means the APN name is close but the MMSC line is wrong. MMS without data means you selected the profile that is not for your SIM.

Hotspot still fails after data works

Boost hotspot is a plan feature first. Unlimited+ and Unlimited Premium include it. Other plans need an add-on. Check the Boost app before you touch APNs again. Boost’s hotspot page is clear: hotspot draws from the same high-speed bucket as phone data.

If the plan includes hotspot and the phone still will not share, Boost’s APN page points you to a second hotspot APN. That extra profile is only for tethering. Do not replace the working data APN with it.

Still no service?

• Toggle Airplane Mode for 20 seconds.
• Reseat the SIM. For eSIM, delete and re-download only if Boost support says to.
• Reset APNs to default, then add the matching official profile again.
• Reset network settings last. You will rejoin Wi-Fi.
• Call Boost if both official profiles fail. After the AT&T cutover, some lines need a back-end reset no phone menu can do.

Bringing a phone from Cricket? Use Cricket’s APN, not Boost’s. Our Cricket Wireless APN settings for Android list is different on purpose. If the phone also gets hot or dies on data, check Android overheating fixes before you blame the SIM.

The old Boost_Mobile values (Sprint era)

Most APN sites still publish this list. It is the Sprint-network profile, and it only applies if your SIM or account was activated before the DISH migration and has never been swapped.

Field	Legacy value
APN	Boost_Mobile
MMSC	http://mm.myboostmobile.com
MMS proxy	68.28.31.7
MMS port	80
MCC / MNC	310 / 120
APN type	default,mms,supl,hipri,fota

Case matters. Boost_Mobile works; BOOST_MOBILE does not. If you were moved to a new SIM in 2024 or later, delete this profile. It will sit there and silently win over the correct one.

Still no data? Quick checklist

• Reset to default on the APN screen, restart, and let Boost Config rebuild the profile before typing anything.
• Make sure the new APN is selected (radio button), not just saved.
• Preferred network type set to 5G/LTE auto; network selection Automatic.
• Phone is unlocked. A carrier-locked phone gets bars, no data, and no error.
• Two SIMs? Set Boost as the mobile data SIM, not just calls.

Boost on iPhone

iPhone has no editable APN screen for Boost. Update to the latest iOS, accept the carrier settings prompt under Settings > General > About, then Reset Network Settings. Boost’s profile installs itself.

Bottom line

Install Boost Config. Then match ereseller or wireless.dish.com to your SIM. Do not mash both lists together. Boost’s own 5G radios are gone as of November 2025, but the old APN names did not all vanish with them.

Next step: turn Wi-Fi off, load a page, send a picture text. If one of those fails, change only the profile, not ten fields at once.
