| Joerg-Neo900 | oooh? how does that work? the APN name & credentials are depemndong on data tariff you booked, and there's hardly any way to find out about that tariff from your SIM, Network, country, system... | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| Joerg-Neo900 | depending* - AFAIK | 00:12 |
| Joerg-Neo900 | do unless the sort key of such table was the tariff name and there was a requester popping up to ask user to select which tariff they use... | 00:13 |
| Joerg-Neo900 | so* | 00:15 |
| Joerg-Neo900 | maybe useful (only did a cursory read): https://www.androidcentral.com/what-apn-and-how-do-i-change-it | 00:24 |
| Joerg-Neo900 | I think a very popular scheme nowadayxs is: carrier notices any new device based on IMEI, Carrier sends a silent configuration service SMS to set the APN, and other settings, to the correct values for this user / tariff and this device. Sometime the device may pop up a notifier informing user about the service SMS and some even allow to choose to either accept or reject it. But I guess more often nowadays they pass completely unnoticed | 00:28 |

| sicelo | APN rarely changes with tariff/plan (not sayng it doesn't). where they do, there tends to be a 'safe' default | 08:56 |

| lastaid | Joerg-Neo900: thank you :) I already found the database, the issue is that it is unreliable at times. mostly because isps are constantly updating those magic strings and numbers. | 09:30 |
