Having the APN settings correctly set up on your Android device is crucial if you want to use your phone for mobile internet and MMS messaging (and who in this day and age doesn't want to do that?). If you can't connect to these services, and have already tried resetting your APN settings to default, then you may need to manually add the APN settings for your network. Here we show you how.

Creating a new APN

If you're using a Nexus device, go to Settings, then tap More, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names, and press the '+' icon to add a new APN.

If you're using a Samsung device, tap Settings, 'More networks', 'Mobile networks', then Access Point Names. Next, press the Settings button on your phone, then tap New APN.

Reaching the 'New APN' creator should be similar on most Android devices.

Once you're on the screen where you can add a new APN, you'll need to enter the APN settings for your cellular provider. Thankfully, you don't need to go scouring the internet looking for them, as we've listed the APN settings for every major network right here at AndroidPIT.

Just find your network provider in the list, add all the settings that need to be added (ignoring the ones that say <Not Set>), then tap the Settings button and Save.

    It's funny that I have to re-enter these in every new phone I get. I wonder if I'll have problems should I relocate.
