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.

Set the OmniSIM APN
Android
It is recommended that your Android mobile device uses the correct APN, whether you are setting the APN manually or via an MDM agent.
For OmniSIM Reach, OmniSIM Rush, and OmniSIM Brazil, 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 Brazil, you can use the standard Android APN settings described below:
Go to Settings > More Settings > Cellular Networks > Access Point Names
Tap the menu or + icon to edit an entry.
Enter your Kore under Name and enter your appropriate APN value.
Tap your new Kore APN entry and set it as your active APN.
For OmniSIM Rush, the APN Value is data.apn.name.
For OmniSIM Brazil, the APN value is data.apn.name.
Multi IMSI Android APN Settings
For Multi IMSI solutions like OmniSIM Reach, the user must input each APN entry including the Mobile Country Code (MCC) and the Mobile Network Code (MNC). This is to help match the APN to the IMSI being used by the device.
OmniSIM Reach has multiple IMSIs that it 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. You must enter all three of these entries to ensure proper operation.
