Is older Samsung phone compatible?

Danielle1964 — Wed, 21 Jun 2023 22:11:37 GMT

I had to resort to my old Samsung S3 until my current phone is fixed. Tried to insert my SIM Card, i do get texting and phone calls but no DATA internet. I have tried getting APN, etc So i am wondering if the old Samsung S3 is compatible with Public Mobile??

@Danielle1964

S3 is a bit old, but should work on PM's 3G network, especially you got text and voice, it means it is connected to PM network

Try to click Reset All Networks and see if it works after

If not, try to update the APN as follow:

APN: sp.mb.com
Proxy:
Port:
Username: <blank>
Password: <blank>
Server:
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mb/mmsc
MMS Proxy: mmscproxy.mobility.ca
MMS Port: 8799
MCC: 302
MNC: 220
Authentication Type: Not Set
APN Type: default,supl,mms

or default,mms,agps,supl,fota,hipri

(might need to include dun for hotspot)
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
APN enable/disable: APN enabled

or Turn APN on/off APN turned on

Bearer: Unspecified
MVNO (Mobile virtual network operator) type: GID
MVNO (Mobile virtual network operator)value: 4D

Hi @Danielle1964 Not sure S3, but I tried an S4 and it works, but it was slow. I think it is time to upgrade

But you got voice? so, you have PM 3G, and data should work. Did you try Reset All Networks?

@Danielle1964 So, can you edit the APN?

Did you save it , select it then go in and out of airplane mode?

If still not then change the mms proxy to 74.49.0.18 and the port to 80. Clear or choose defaults of everything below that. Then do the first sentence.
