I can make calls, but can’t send/receive SMS, MMS or access the internet (Android)?

If you’re unable to access the internet from your device despite having an active Prepay Plan with data entitlements, you may need to manually enter the APN settings on your device.

APN (Access Point Name) settings are used by your device to connect to the internet, as well as to send/receive MMS messages, over the Kogan Mobile network.

Please follow the steps outlined below to manually enter the APN settings*:
