APN Background

An Access Point Name (APN) is a gateway between a cellular mobile network (GSM, GPRS, 3G, 4G and 5G) and the Internet. Any time a device needs to use data, its Mobile Network Operator (MNO) reads the APN to assign an IP address, determines the network access it needs, and implements security measures. The APN identifies the Packet Data Network (PDN) that a device wants to communicate with.

Android

It would be best for your Android mobile device to use the right APN, whether you are setting the APN manually or via an MDM agent.

For OmniSIM Reach, OmniSIM US, and OmniSIM Rush, your Android device must use the APN value data.apn.name.

Single IMSI Android APN Settings

For Single IMSI solutions like OmniSIM Rush and OmniSIM US, you can use the standard Android APN settings described below:

  1. Navigate to: Settings > More Settings > Cellular Networks > Access Point Names.

  2. Tap the menu or the + icon to add a new entry.

  3. Enter KORE under Name and enter your appropriate APN value.

  4. Activate the new APN: Select your newly created KORE APN entry to set it as the active APN.

For OmniSIM Rush and OmniSIM US, the APN value is data.apn.name

Multi-IMSI Android APN Settings

For Multi-IMSI solutions, such as OmniSIM Reach, it is essential to configure multiple APN entries, including the Mobile Country Code (MCC) and Mobile Network Code (MNC), to match the APN to the IMSI currently in use by the device. OmniSIM Reach has multiple IMSIs that will switch between depending on the country in which the device has been deployed. To ensure that your Android device can connect with any of the IMSIs used, please add all of the following APN and MCC-MNC combinations to your device based on your service type.

As you enter each of these values, they may be immediately hidden by Android and so you will not see them. However, it is crucial to enter all three values MCC, MNC, and APN to ensure full functionality of your device.
