For Samsung, Huawei, Sony & other Android devices

Written by Casey

šŸ’” Your device may not work work abroad unless you make a one off change to your device network settings. Check below to ensure you're set up šŸ‘‡

If you're old school, we've also listed the written steps below:

  1. Go to ā€˜Settingsā€™

  2. Tap ā€˜Moreā€¦ā€™ under ā€˜Wireless & Networksā€™ or 'Connections'

  3. Open ā€˜Mobile Networkā€™

  4. Open ā€˜Access Point Namesā€™ - If you donā€™t have any access point youā€™ll need to create a new one and skip to step number 7.

  5. Open ā€˜3ā€™

  6. Open ā€˜Edit Access Pointā€™

  7. Change the APN to: mob.asm.net

  8. If you find you can't change the APN, then you'll need to add a new one - you can find the settings here:

Android APN Settings

Thatā€™s the only thing you have to change. If thereā€™s any information in other fields, you can leave it as it is.
