I have a iPhone 8 Plus.  I followed directions for APN change but on my cellular network page all it says is apn then username and password.  There is nowhere  for the other codes it says to enter.  I don’t know the username and password.  How do I get the cellular data to work?

1.  Check your iPhone for update.  If yes, update and restart your phone with PM SIM inserted.

2.  You may need to connect to iTune app running in a PC to download PM carrier specific file to configure your APN file automatically.  Make sure to restart phone after download or update.

 

Report result.  Thanks

@Helpershelper  just an FYI the APN's you provided are for Android phones not iPhone's.

@Trac10 if your APN says sp.mb.com change it to ISP.mb.com or vice versa. Save and reboot phone. 

 

Let us know!

This is the definitive reading on APN stuff on an Apple product.

The APN username and passwords should be blank.
