With one input: mobile operators launch mobile ID

In recent years, due to the great popularity of mobile devices, there has been a high growth rate of mobile users of the World Wide Web. Moreover, 55% of users in this category in Russia (as of March 2015) are owners of smartphones and tablets on the Android platform. Therefore, the issue of setting up the Internet is very relevant.

As a rule, in most cases, the first time you connect to the network, the operator determines the device model and sends automatic settings. But quite often it happens that this does not happen. And then you need to do everything yourself.

Setup steps

To manually set up the Internet on an Android device, regardless of what operator you have, you need to take the following steps:

1. Go to the main menu.
2. Go to “Settings”.
3. Select “Wireless Networks” (in earlier versions of Android), or the “More” tab (in newer versions).
4. Next, find the sub-item “Mobile networks”.
5. Select “Access Points” (APN). PS: If the phone has two SIM cards, then select the one for which the settings will be made.
6. When you are in the Access Points section, press the “Menu” touch button, and then “Create APN/New Access Point”.

The data is different for all operators. See below what needs to be written down. If you haven’t found your operator, the settings can be found on their website.
