Mobile Internet Access Point Name Configuration

In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of setting up the Public Mobile APN on Android and iPhone devices. This step-by-step guide will help you connect your device to Public Mobile's network for internet and MMS services.

For Android:

  1. Open the Settings app on your device, and navigate to either Network & internet or Connections.
  2. Tap on Mobile Network, then select Advanced, and finally go to Access Point Names.
  3. Tap the Add or plus icon (+) to create a new APN profile.
  4. Enter the necessary Public Mobile APN details, typically including:
  5. Name: Public Mobile
  6. APN: spublic
  7. MMSC, MMS proxy, MCC, MNC, authentication type, and APN type (these values can be blank or set as specified by Public Mobile).
  8. Save the new APN and select it as active.
  9. Restart your device to apply changes.

For iPhone:

  1. Navigate to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Network.
  2. Under Cellular Data, enter the APN settings:

  4. Leave username and password blank unless specified.
  5. If MMS or other services are used, enter those APN details under the MMS section.
  6. Return to the main Settings screen and restart your iPhone to apply the APN.

If your device does not allow direct APN editing or you want to ensure correct details, you can also use carrier-specific configuration SMS or visit Public Mobile’s support for the exact APN parameters.

For a more streamlined experience, apps like APN Settings on Android can help find and set carrier-specific APNs.
