Errors are common when configuring APNs on Android. That’s why we show you where the save button is located. Important! This is the only way to save the changes and be able to use the configured APN. If you exit without saving, you will lose the entered parameters and have to reconfigure them.
Still not connecting to Movistar’s data service?
If after configuring the APNs the data service does not work, it is likely that there is another problem not related to the equipment configuration. In this case, we recommend visiting a Movistar technical support center to verify if your line actually has a data plan activated. It is also important to check the coverage in the area where you are performing the test, as without it you will not have service.
