If you’re having trouble with data on your Android smartphone, you may need to configure your network settings for Public Mobile. The steps below may not be exactly the same on your particular phone but they should help you to get going.

Step1: 

Android 2.3 and lower 

Settings > Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > New APN setting (or a plus sign)

Android 4.0 and higher 

Settings > More... > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names > New APN setting (or a plus sign) *Some models might have a slightly different path 

Step 2: 

You will need to input the following info:

I have a One Plus One phone and I setup the APN according to you post and I got H+ istead of LTE. Is that right?
