APN setting

[kim409]

Bought US roaming today and the PM site says the APN S/B "sp.mb.com", mine is "isp.mb.com".  Will that matter?

Thank You.  Set to SP.

It's a second APN entry.

The settings that are pre-programmed for Public Mobile have a second APN settting of isp.mb.com and APN type of dun.  There have been some cases where isp.mb.com has stopped functioning and people have added the APN type of dun to sp.mb.com but isp.mb.com is the official tethering APN.

Mine is also isp.mb.com  -- suggest that you set "network Settings" to automatic.

For "automatic", that is a for network selection and network type only.  It has no effect on APN setings,

In most usage cases, sp.mb.com should be used. isp.mb.com is for data tethering/sharing with other devices.

HI @kim409   yes, roaming Talk will include the call back to Canada as well

But make sure you download TextNow as a backup, in case VoLTE not working and you cannot connect to T-Mobile's 2G network

I don't go to the US until Thursday so won't know till then, have turned on roaming.  On another note: talk/text includes long distance minutes for calls to/from CA?  This is my 1st time using PM roaming add-on so not sure.

The few times I have bought US roaming, it worked as soon as I hit the border, no changes required on my part. Is yours not working?
