Hello,
I will be going to Mexico in the next month, and I was thinking on getting a Mexican SIM card to get data there.
But I just noticed that there is no option to add a new APN on my Verizon G3.
The only option I get on the 3dot overflow menu is "Reset to default".
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Just got to it, it seems that the verizon SIM has to be removed first before adding a new APN.

I'm trying to use my iPad sim (converted into a regular sim card) in my note, but I am unable to use the APN "broadband". Everytime I create that APN, it will automatically delete it off the list. It seems like AT&T is blocking that APN from being used. Is this possible, or a way around this?
Thanks
Try using "phone" as the apn

the only apn ipads have is broadband.... some older prepaid unlimited ones have isp.cingular as the apn
yeah...only APN iPads can use is "broadband". Anyone know how to bypass this?
anyone know how to do this?

Are you rooted? I don't have an answer, but I suspect the solution involves being rooted and freezing an AT&T management .apk that is deleting any APNs that you add.

Yes, I am currently running TPC NOTE V2.
My first contribution to the forum
I got the ATT Note last weekend off second hand, so no contract.
I want to use it primarily as a tablet with data plan (google voice can serve as phone if needed). So I want to try iPad data plan.
I got my iPad sim activated for a monthly plan, but as members noted, that for some reason, the new APN setting can not be saved for some reason (can we blame ATT?). So you can not use the iPad sim directly.
I tried couple of ways, and finally figured out how to do it on my Note:
(1) Create the new APN as previously instructed (call it "iPad" or whatever), with "phone" as the APN setting. Save it.
(2) On the APN list, select the new one, so the default AT&T PTA is grey out, and the new one ("iPad") is on.
(3) Now, change the APN from "phone" to "Broadband" (Sorry I forgot this important step last night!)
(4) Then, instead of saving the change (which would fail), I jumped out of the setting and go straight to home, then web browser to click a link. It might give you an error the first time, but when I clicked the link again, it would eventually start working, and the 4G icon showed up on the top menu.
I wen back to APN setting. Found the new setting "iPad" was gone. However, I did notice the default APN setting (AT&T PTA) remained grey out (not selected).
So, it seems if you force off the default setting, you can go straight to 4G network with iPhone's data plan.
I disabled the cellular network and reactivated it. The connection still worked, so hopefully it will last.
[Update]: Sorry I forgot the important step (3). I tried again, and the whole process works. Yes, I have the phone unlocked already for T-Mobile use (paid $25 online to get the unlock code. Not sure if it is necessary for AT&T data sim card, though).
i think
I think your note has to be unlocked .thats only way
iPad Sim
I am using iPad SIM in note and its working fine. I don't get LTE but HSPA Speeds. I picked new SIM from AT&T Store for my iPad and activated under different email now using it with $30 3GB Plan. I have 'broadband' as apn. My note is unlocked running SAUROM RC 6. I had issues with RC 7 so reverted back.

It just can't be on an AT&T based rom. Since Saurom rom is based off of Rogers, the apn "broadband" will work. Has nothing to do with unlock, it's the software that prevents you from using that APN.

You are now able to use LTE on the note since AT&T now has a plan for the "New iPad". You just need to change the plan in the online management. Just change the IMEI to the "New iPad". The APN will still be broadband.
I found a IMEI from some person selling it on eBay

Thanks much for this ....I could not find any other solution so far.....I appreciate you writing this. It works.
Hello,
I recently put the GPe rom in my HTC One, and have had network problems related to my APN.
Could anyone who HAS an AT&T HTC One post their APN settings so I could fix this problem.
Thanks in advance!
What sort of problems?

What sort of problems have you had?
I just put GPe on this morning, and I've had some problems too. I went to a place I usually have good coverage, but I had no *data* coverage. My wife had good coverage there, including data.

SIM unlock - NO signal
After putting in these settings I get no response from my TMobile HTC One. The signal bar is blank and it says emergency calls only. I got the sim from an ATT store. Currently running ARHD GE. Thanks a lot!
After updating to 41.0 m mobile data doesn't work. I reset the APN to default at&t but still can't use mobile data. Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.
Delete stock APN on HTC One M7 (AT&T)
Hello everyone.
Introduction. I have unlocked HTC One M7 (AT&T) with stock Jelly Bean 4.3 ROM + AT&T sim card with 3G data service (Not 4G/LTE).
As I have sim card specifically with 3G data it works only with APN settings on phones - wap.cingular. It doesn't work with others APN settings such as "phone" for LTE data service.
HTC One M7 AT&T version has pre-setted APN settings for LTE data service (APN: "phone").
Problem is when I try to enter new APN (wap.cingular) it says "This APN is not allowed on this device".
I rooted this phone and tried to find /system/etc/apns-conf.XML file as for One X but apns-conf.xml file doesn't exist in One M7, I searched entire root content on it. There other .xml files with wifi settings etc. Also tried to find similar files on other folders but with no luck.
Anybody knows what file on M7 contains this settings or how to remove restrictions for setting wap.cingular APN?
Thanks

A T-mobile phone won't work on the ATT network even with the APN settings. The radio in the Tmo phone works on a different frequency.
And which was that for ?.. does this also maybe apply to the m8 and or m9 because the restrictions some are on them as well... GSM models are different though tmobile far as I know can be lifted if u get unlock code for them , I called tmobile and they told me and if I keep there service for at least 6 months they would provide me the unlock keys ?.. what!?. I was like this is ridiculous because I thought htc would provide the keys for this matter?....
So I got the PagePlus Sim Card, contacted P+ to register it and what I ended up with initially was no voice/txt/mms/data. Previously I had voice/txt/mms/3G. I loaded different roms, reformatted phone, did system restore but the only thing that got voice/sms/mms/3g back was changing from NV only to RUIM Only. OK, so at least I have that back. But no matter what I do I can't get the LTE! Did any one had any luck getting LTE working on their device? I noticed on the simcard package it said something like "you might have to change your APN settings". Can someone please help? Post your DFS screenshots maybe? APN settings?
Any luck? I considered trying, but being that I had a hard enough time getting 3G to work... I'm not so sure I'm willing to put much effort into it! You have to order the sim card, right? Or can you get it in a store somewhere?
I bought the sim card on eBay. Still no luck with LTE. P+ gave me apn settings but still nothing.
There is something weird going on with the APN settings. My rezound is running stock latest rom. By default there is one verizon APN entry - Internet. The weird part is that when I add any new APN it appears in the list but I cannot select it - there is no select bullet to the right. Also, why is the default APN's MCC is 311 and MNC 480? And if I enter anything other than those numbers for new APN entry and click save it does not appear in the list?
UPDATE: I figured out that if you include word "default" in APN TYPE field than it gives you a select circle for that APN.
Hello xda,
I have been unable to use the mobile data on my moto g xt1064 for over a month now. APN settings shows nothing and adding a new APN also results in a blank page. I have spent weeks researching this and trying various solutions, none of which worked(obviously).
The Facts:
-The APN settings page displays an error of "APN settings not available for this user". The search button won't pull anything up, the + button is greyed out although I can select it and fill out a form for a new APN and save it, but like it said it doesn't add anything.
-Was working fine prior to last month, lapsed on a payment and phone service got shut off. Reactivated and it is showing as active on my account.
-moto g xt1064 GSM
-Straighttalk BYOP AT&T sim-card
-Rooted, unlocked bootloader, TWRP v2.8.6.0
-Lollipop 5.0.2
At my wits end, any suggetions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi guys!
I just got an unlocked Sprint variant of G8X and realized that it does not let me change the default APN. I am currently on Mint Mobile but the phone recognizes it as a T-mobile and loads a default APN of T-Mobile (fast.tmobile.com) automatically. While Mint Mobile works with this automatically selected APN, I noticed that I am unable to send/receive MMS.
I was able to add a new APN, but I could not select the new one as the default APN. The existing default one has all fields greyed out so I can't edit it either. I never encountered such issues with my previous Android phones, so I got no idea what to do.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi, I had the same greyed out APN issue, LG is killing me. Here's what I did. Hope it works for you. P.S. make sure your VoLTE is off, it screwed with my SMS.

Thank you for the idea, but it didn't work in my case, unfortunately. As soon as I remove the activated sim (Mint), I get kicked out of the APN setting. And when I insert a non-working sim (in my case, Sprint), the phone automatically loaded the APN for Sprint. Then when I swap the sim back to Mint, the phone loads the APN automatically again, but I am still unable to edit it.
I think I will have to sell it off.
