I am trying to get mobile data to work on new phone. I have purchased a ROAM mobility SIM card and can change the settings. Where do I find what these settings should be?

These are the Public Mobile APN settings you need:

Name: Public Mobile
APN: sp.mb.com
Proxy: Leave blank
Port: Leave blank
Username: Leave blank
Password: Leave blank
Server: Leave blank
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mb/mmsc
MMSC proxy: 74.49.0.18
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 220
Authentication type: Leave blank
APN type: default,mms,agps,supl,fota,hipri
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO type: GID
MVNO value: 4D4F

Don't forget to save these settings and then select this APN as the active one.

Hi.......have istalled Roam sim card. I am now able to add a new APN and entered apn settings as per your post. I now get a message "Carrier does not allow adding APNs of type*."

I was very careful to make sure I have made no mistakes. Any ideas? Thanks again for all your help.

Maybe the name is blank or APN Type. Recheck those settings. No spaces in APN Type. Make sure case is correct.

It would be easier to provide screen caps as requested.

@embacher

1- Go to the screen you want to capturethe screen.
2- Press simultaneously the power key and the volume key down of your UMIDIGIsmartphone. ...
3- The captured image is automatically saved in the gallery of your phone or tablet.

How long are you holding down the buttons? On my phone you need to do it for a second or two.

In your post history you've written about 3 different phones. Which one are we talking about here?

@embacher Leave it blank. If it gives you the same message then post a screenshot. Also make sure the name does not contain any special characters.

Which one? Blank or special characters?

Hi, answer to your question, leaving APN type blank did the trick. I have another problem, my wife has a Umidigi phone, has a Public Mobile plan and I have the same problem with getting data to work. I get the same message "carrier does not allow adding APNs of type *. Have tried all the suggestions you made getting my other phone to work. When I try to leave it blank it automatically fills in text, see screenshot.

That's a whole lot more stuff in that APN Type field that probably isn't needed.

Can you edit it down?

Re: android 8.1 apn settings

@embacher Best to do a network reset on that phone. Remove all other APN entries and add the sp.mb.com entry again make sure you save it.

Insert the PM sim and see if it works.
