Samsung How to Set up Mobile Network

The network mode is the choice between 2G, 3G or 4G (LTE). Users can instruct the Samsung device to use only the 2G network, for example. 5G may also be available depending on the model and equipment.

VoLTE (Voice over LTE) calls allow calls to be made over the LTE data network than was previously possible over the 2G or 3G network. VoLTE calls not only improve voice quality, but also reduce battery consumption and call setup time. On Samsung devices that support dual SIM, VoLTE calls can be switched on or off for both SIM cards independently.

Mobile Internet on a Samsung device requires a correct access point name, also known as an APN, which is usually installed automatically when you connect to the network provider for the first time. However, the correct APN data is not always created, which means that you have to adjust or create it manually. Some network providers also offer the APN data as a configuration file, which is sent as an SMS to the Samsung device and installs itself automatically. The APN data and/or the configuration file can be obtained from the network provider's website.

Incorrectly created or superfluous access points can be deleted via the menu on the Samsung device, but randomly, APN data should not be removed from the device as it is required for Internet, SMS and MMS use.

In addition to automatic network selection, the network can also be selected manually on the Samsung device. manual network selection is recommended, especially near the border or abroad, to avoid further costs.

By default, the Samsung device automatically selects the best network, but once a network is selected manually, the "Select automatically" function must be reactivated to use the automatic network search.

An alternative DNS server can be used to improve the surfing speed and/or security on the Samsung device, with the option to select Off, Automatic or a provider in the Samsung device settings.

Obfuscating traces, bypassing service location blockages, encrypting data - the list and reasons for a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service can be long. Even under Samsung, the connection can be redirected via a VPN server, provided a valid VPN server is available.
