[Q] Change APN settings to use with another carrier

I have brought my Samsung Galaxy S2 to India and is using with Reliance. Voice and SMS are working great. The only issue is its not able to connect to the internet using 3G or GPRS or any such service. I don't see any such settings to do so. Is there any way I can change the APN settings from Spring to Reliance?

Wrong forum. This is not the Epic Touch. This is the original Galaxy S Epic with keyboard.

Make sure that your APN is set correctly. I also had this problem and it was just because I didn't set MMS APN correctly.

I use Google Voice for visual VM. I just forwarded my missed calls to that VM instead of AT&T's. It works just the same when you call and now I get my voice mails on all of my Android devices like my tablet.

If your phone came with AT&T Messages, you need to go to AT&T store to have them switch you back to the old VVM system. I upgrade to Messages and hated it and went back.

you don't have to go into the store you can call a csr they should be able to reset your account.

I also use Google voice and its awesome. But since most messages left are in Spanish, Google will tell me the craziest things when it tries to make them into English words (I get a hell of a kick out of it)

Can't get this to work
This app worked fine when I was using TW, but I switched over to AOKP and the app will not work. I go through the setup and it asks for my pin. I type in my pin and the app just sits there with the wheel spinning, looking like its doing something. However, it never comes back. I've uninstalled/reinstalled, factory reset, wiped cache & Dalvik cache. Any ideas?

Thanks. I should have spent a little more time looking around before posting. I also found the answer here.

I switched to Paranoid Android and somehow lost my phone # in the sim card. I was searching and found I had to go into the phone app and readd my # and also readd my voicemail dial in #(which is different than your phone #)
Had to call AT&T for that.

I was never able to get att visual VM to work. Tried everything even called att. They couldn't figure it out...surprising huh

For some reason, I can not get my phone to use Google Voice as my default VMB for the phone. I installed Google Voice, and it asked if I wanted to do that. I said yes, selected Google Voice (as opposed to Carrier) and it said it failed to update. I tried manually under phone settings many times. Tried rebooting too, nothing.
Any idea why I can't change calls to be directed to Google Voice for voicemail?
I'm on stock LH9 ROM, rooted and the special tethering framework (I tried without this first, but still no luck).

ya, tried the att messages app today.. horrible. it froze my contacts and kept shutting down some google app process.
for those who are curious.. google voice works on ICS. took me a moment to figure it out, and really liked having it on gingerbread. go to google voice website. hit settings and then "activate voicemail" it gives you a series of symbols and numbers to enter into your dialer and then it's activated.
BAM.

Those are the stock apn settings for each carrier.

In one of the things I was searching, a Bell website came up and told me to also set "MMS protocol: WAP 2.0". Do I need to do that?

Still won't send. What network mode should I have? I am currently using GSM/WCDMA preferred. I have two other options:
LTE/WCDMA
LTA/GSM/WCDMA
By the way, I prefer to use 3G because LTE drains my battery I heard. And I can't use 2G because the signal completely disappears.

Select lte/gsm/wcdma and try that. Worry about disabling lte after you can send a text.
Are you using the stock mms or a third party app?
Some third party apps don't play nicely with some Roms

when changing apns or network mode, it helps to reboot after making the selection. give that a shot if you hadnt already.

Free thanks there....
With this problem I have found that I have had to completely delete the APN and then add it back in and reboot. Delete, add it back in manually and then reboot.
You might have to reboot between deleting and re-adding.

I have one labeled "Bell Flex"
APN: inet.bell.ca
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: Same as "Bell" APN
MMS Port: Not set
Can I delete that one?

Not familiar with Bell APN settings but I'm sure they can be googled. I deleted all the APN's in my phone and only added then one I needed.
I believe you can restore defaults at any point as well.
