Though many mobile devices have had the ability to automatically create internet settings for many years now, there are still some which cannot. In this article we will explore internet settings used by prominent Saudi telecommunications service providers such as STC and Mobily; also understanding what an APN is – short for Access Point Name- and how it is a crucial step in configuring nearly any smartphone device.
Telecommunication companies typically provide an automated feature. Whenever a new SIM card is inserted into the device, there will always be text messages automatically sent for either internet or MMS purposes. Without having the necessary APN or Internet Settings for each specific Mobile SIM card type – it becomes very difficult to access the Web.
After much hard work, sometimes you might not be able to find settings for the SIM card – which means that no APN was installed. This means that there needs to be a manual adjustment done with regards to your cell phone’s network settings. Manual method requires a few adjustments made on the cell phone owner’s end such as inserting some new numbers into their cellular network settings manually.
If you are struggling with manual settings, ask for help from someone who understands what they are doing. Here is an example of the code for internet settings:
