How do I set up the APN?

An APN (Access Point Name) is a configuration setting on a mobile device that tells the device how to connect to a cellular network.

The Simbase SIM cards can work with any device that is not locked to a carrier. You need to set the APN in the device settings to establish a data connection. The APN allows your device to set up a secure connection between the mobile network and the internet. Our default APN is simbase, which has its internet breakout in the US.

Should you require a private APN, or an APN that offers a local breakout, please contact our Sales team via sales@simbase.com for further details.

Start with your device powered off. Then insert the Simbase SIM into your device and power your device on. Now you can configure your device.

There are multiple ways to set up the APN:

  1. Setting up via settings

  2. Setting up via SMS

  3. Setting up using AT commands

Within the network settings of the device find Access Point Name (APN) settings and select the following:

APN: simbase

APN username: (leave empty)

APN password: (leave empty)

IP Address: Dynamic (using DHCP)

Data Roaming: Enabled
