Mobile Internet Configuration Parameters for Public Networks

Public Mobile, a self-service mobile service owned by Telus, requires manual APN configuration to access the internet through its 3G or 4G service. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to set up Public Mobile APN settings on Android and iOS devices.

For Android:

  1. Open the Settings app on your Android device.
  2. Navigate to Network & Internet (or Connections).
  3. Select Mobile Network > Advanced > Access Point Names.
  4. Tap the "+" sign to add a new APN.
  5. Enter the following details:
  6. Name: Public Mobile
  7. APN: spmdi
  8. Leave other fields blank or default unless specified by Public Mobile.
  9. Save the APN, then select it as the active APN.
  10. Restart your device or toggle airplane mode on and off.
  11. Enable cellular data on the Android device after restarting.

For iOS (iPhone/iPad):

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap Cellular > Cellular Data Network.
  3. Under Cellular Data, enter:
  4. APN: spmdi
  5. Leave username and password blank unless specified.
  6. Exit settings and restart the device to apply changes.

By correctly configuring the APN to "spmdi," your Android or iOS device should connect properly to Public Mobile's cellular data network. If you encounter any issues, confirm you have the latest APN details via Public Mobile's official support page or contact their customer service.

For convenience, third-party apps like APN Settings APK (Android) can help fetch and configure APNs automatically, including Public Mobile's. However, manual input is often the most reliable.

If you use device management software (MDM) on Android Enterprise devices, APN settings can also be deployed remotely using OEMConfig apps tailored to your device manufacturer. This is mostly for corporate or managed device environments.

Public Mobile has become one of Canada's most well-known SIM businesses, offering various refill options and enabling consumers to renew their Public Mobile subscription on their smartphones. With the correct APN setup, you can enjoy high-speed internet connectivity for activities like viewing films and enjoying online activities on your gadgets.

  1. To enjoy high-speed internet connectivity on gadgets like smartphones, you can follow the APN setup guide to connect your device to Public Mobile's cellular data network.
  2. For a hassle-free APN configuration, you may consider using third-party apps such as APN Settings APK on Android devices, or consider managing APNs remotely through OEMConfig apps if you have Android Enterprise devices in a corporate or managed device environment.
