For Samsung, Huawei, Sony & other Android devices

💡 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 👇


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

  1. Go to ‘Settings

  2. Tap ‘More…’ under ‘Wireless & Networks’ or 'Connections'

  3. Open ‘Mobile Network

  4. Open ‘Access Point Names’ - If you don’t have any access point you’ll need to create a new one and skip to step number 7.

  5. Open ‘3

  6. Open ‘Edit Access Point

  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:

That’s the only thing you have to change. If there’s any information in other fields, you can leave it as it is.
