Which APN should I be using?

Browse BambooSIM support articles about Which APN should I be using?, including setup, troubleshooting, billing help, and account guidance for travellers.

The correct APN depends on the exact eSIM product you purchased. Check the product name in your confirmation email or in the BambooSIM portal before changing any settings.

| eSIM product | APN setting | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | | Legacy eSIM with globaldata in its installation instructions | Set both Name and APN to globaldata | | Viettel, MobiFone, Japan KDDI, South Korea SKT Unlimited, or Australia Vodafone | Leave the APN on Automatic | | All other travel eSIMs | Leave the APN on Automatic |

Do not change the APN to globaldata unless the installation instructions for your eSIM explicitly require it. Using globaldata on another product can stop mobile data from working.

Set globaldata for a legacy eSIM

If your device provides editable APN settings:

  1. Open your device's Mobile Network, Cellular, or Access Point Names settings.
  2. Add a new APN profile if needed.
  3. Set Name to globaldata.
  4. Set APN to globaldata.
  5. Leave the remaining fields unchanged, save the profile, and select it.

The value is case-sensitive and should not contain spaces.

Japan KDDI eSIMs normally configure themselves automatically. Only use the manual Japan Unlimited APN settings as a final troubleshooting step after the standard connection checks.

If you are unsure which product you have, please submit a ticket before changing the APN.
