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:

I trust Ubigi to work when I get to my destination. The plans are affordable and a good value. On a recent trip, my wife was using a competitors ESIM and it did not connect on 2 of the islands we visited where my Ubigi did.

the esim card itself good, but receives fraud messages

Reliable Global eSIM for Travelers (Japan)
Went to Japan (i.e, Fukuoka, Yufuin, Beppu, Onomichi, Imabari, Matsuyama, Hiroshima, Kansai and Kanto area). Overall, it delivers on convenience and coverage, making it a dependable choice for Japan trips (can't comment on different countries yet). Easy setup: Activation is straightforward. Scan a QR code, install the eSIM, and you’re online within minutes. Stable performance: In most locations, data speeds are reliable for navigation, messaging, browsing, and even video calls.

Seamless Ubigi eSIM Experience
I was using Ubigi for the first time. This eSIM was really easy to install and to use during my stay in Japan. This was such a breeze compared to another eSIM option I have used in the past. I will certainly use Ubigi again during my upcoming travel to Europe.

Connection is slow half of the times
Connection is slow half of the times, this is somehow different than last time I used Ubigi. The only difference is I got the unlimited package this time vs. 10GB last time. My wife uses 10GB without any issues either. If you are throttling the speed of the unlimited package, what's the point of paying more to get less?
