How to set the APN for Ubigi eSIM?

Normally you should be able to connect without filling in the APN (Access Point Name), but in some cases you might have to enter it manually.

On iOS
– Go to Settings, then Mobile Data
– In “Data Plans”, select your Ubigi profile and turn it on if it is not yet the case
– When the profile is on, go to “Mobile Data Network”
– Then, just type “mbb” in the all 4 APN fields: Mobile Data, LTE setup, MMS and Personal Hotspot



On Android
– In Mobile network, scroll to the bottom and select Access Point Names


– Click on New APN


– In the field APN, just type the 3 letters mbb then save:


– Now select the APN you just created


On Windows 10 (NB: instructions for Windows 11 below):
– Go to Settings > Networks & Internet, and select Mobile (or Cellular in some Windows versions).
– Click on “Advanced Options” or “Mobile operator settings”, then select “Add an APN”

– In the APN field, just type “mbb”

– In the APN type drop-down list, select “Internet and Attach APN”
– Click on Save
– Switch to Airplane mode for a few seconds in the network bar, then activate cellular again:


On Windows 11:
– Go to Settings > Networks & Internet, and select Mobile (or Cellular in some Windows versions).
– Click on “Advanced Options” or “Mobile operator settings”, then select “Add an APN”

– In the APN field, just type “mbb”

– Click on Save
– This new APN will appear in the list “Internet APN” just under the button “Add APN”. Just click on it and make sure it appears as “applied”
– To refresh the cellular connection, turn off Cellular mode for a few seconds in the network bar, then activate it again:
