FAQ

I am using an Android phone. I have entered the given settings for Android to my handset. But it did not work. I have also tried general settings in my Android device but in vain. Please help me.
It may be due to an error in your APN Settings. Make sure that you are entering the values in the right case. If you see “att.mvno” for the APN name, you cannot add “Att.mvno” or “ATT.MVNO” in the given field. You need to add the values as they are. These are case-sensitive values in fact. Enter them to the right field in the right case.
I have rechecked my APN values. Even, I have rebooted my iPhone twice. But nothing happens. Please guide me.
