APN settings Android

Karyathena — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 12:17:54 GMT

Hello

I have tried to set up data on my android using the steps provided.

The new APN wont save, even after I hit save.

Also some things on my phone are slighly different

for example, instead of MMSC proxy (on Public's instructions, I have MMSC

amd MMS proxy, two different lines, do I enter the same information on both?

Thanks

I just activated my new plan, coming from another provider, if that matters.

It hasn't ben two hours yet.

Also, when do I insert my public Mobile SIM card?

@KaryathenaYou can insert your SIM card anytime after you had activated your account.

@KaryathenaYour APN might not save depending on which version of Android you have.. some versions eg 8 is finicky.

I assume you're following this guide? I'm not sure if it's a mistake in the guide, because I think the APN settings are supposed to have both "MMSC" and "MMS Proxy" fields as you say, not a field called "MMSC Proxy".

Try setting up your APN with:

MMSC = http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mb/mmsc

MMS Proxy = 74.49.0.18

Also, since you are porting a number over from another provider, have you verified that the number was already deactivated on the other provider's network? Do you still have service for that phone number on your old SIM card?

Once my number was deactivated by my old provider, I inserted my Public Mobile SIM and it automatically configured the new APN settings for me. My phone also doesn't let me save different APN settings.

I believe if everything is working with pm, you should be fine.

Yes, if you have service and it configured itself in your APN settings you should be good to go!
