Each network (Globe, Smart and Sun Cellular) has its own settings. These APN settings should be properly configured for you to access the internet using your smartphone. Below are the settings for each network in the Philippines:

For Android smartphones, remember to check or activate the “Use packet data” or “Activate data network” for you to be able to connect to the internet. You can uncheck this settings if you want to disconnect or do not want to connect.
If you are using different SIM cards (postpaid or prepaid), it is advisable to create a profile for each SIM’s APN settings or network.
