5 Common Ways to Fix Azercell APN Settings

1. Check APN Configuration

The first step in troubleshooting APN issues is to verify that your phone’s APN settings match those provided by Azercell. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Go to your phone’s settings and find the “Mobile Network” or “Cellular Networks” section.
2. Ensure the APN settings are as follows:
   • Name: Azercell Internet
   • APN: internet
   • Username: Leave blank
   • Password: Leave blank
   • MMSC, MMS Proxy, MMS Port: Not set (unless specifically needed)
   • MCC: 400
   • MNC: 04
   • APN Type: default

I once had an issue with my mobile data on my Samsung Galaxy S21 when I was traveling in Baku. I checked my APN settings and realized that the APN Type was set to “default,supl,mms” instead of just “default”. Changing this setting resolved my connectivity issue.

2. Reset to Default APN

If you’ve made changes to your APN settings and are experiencing issues, resetting to the default settings provided by Azercell can often resolve the problem. Look for a “Reset to Default” option in your phone’s APN settings and tap on it to revert any changes you’ve made.

3. Toggle Airplane Mode

Sometimes, simply resetting your phone’s connection to the network can resolve APN-related issues. Turn on Airplane Mode for about 10 seconds, then turn it off. This action will reset your phone’s connection to the Azercell network and can often solve connectivity problems.

I remember a time when my mobile data wasn’t working on my iPhone 12 Pro. I was at a cafe in Ganja with about 60% battery life. Toggling Airplane Mode on and off fixed the issue, and I was able to browse the internet again.

4. Update Carrier Settings

Azercell occasionally pushes updates to carrier settings, which can include optimized APN configurations. Ensure your phone is updated to the latest carrier settings. These updates are usually automatic, but you can manually check by following these steps:

• For iOS: Go to Settings > General > About
• For Android: Go to Settings > About Phone > System Update

5. Restart Your Phone

Never underestimate the power of a simple restart. Restarting your phone can fix many issues by resetting network connections and reapplying APN settings. If you’re experiencing APN-related problems, try restarting your phone before attempting more advanced troubleshooting steps.

5 Beyond Common Sense Ways to Fix Azercell APN Settings

1. Manually Configure DNS Settings

If you’re experiencing slow or unstable internet connections, manually setting your phone’s DNS (Domain Name System) to Google (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) might help improve connectivity. To change your DNS settings:

1. Go to your phone’s Wi-Fi settings.
2. Long-press on your connected Wi-Fi network and select “Modify Network.”
3. Expand the “Advanced Options” section and change the “IP Settings” to “Static.”
4. In the “DNS 1” and “DNS 2” fields, enter the DNS server addresses (e.g., 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for Google).

I once had an issue with slow internet speeds on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro while using Azercell’s mobile data. By manually configuring my DNS settings to use Google’s servers, I was able to significantly improve my browsing speeds.

2. Test with Different APN Types

Sometimes, changing the APN Type can resolve connectivity issues. Experiment by setting the APN Type to different options like “default,supl” or “default,supl,mms” to see if it improves your connection.

I remember a situation where my mobile data wasn’t working on my Huawei P40 Pro while I was in Sumgayit. By changing the APN Type from “default” to “default,supl”, I was able to restore my internet connection.

3. Network Band Selection

If you’re experiencing poor network coverage or slow speeds, manually selecting the network band (3G or 4G) might help. To do this:

1. Go to your phone’s “Mobile Networks” settings.
2. Find the “Preferred Network Type” option.
3. Switch between the available options (e.g., 3G or 4G) to see if it improves your connection.

4. Use a VPN to Bypass Potential Network Restrictions

If you’re facing connectivity issues that seem location-specific, using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) can sometimes bypass network throttling or region-specific restrictions imposed by Azercell. There are many free and paid VPN apps available on both iOS and Android.

I once encountered a situation where I couldn’t access certain websites while using Azercell’s mobile data. By connecting to a VPN, I was able to bypass the restrictions and access the sites I needed.

5. Check for Background App Conflicts

Sometimes, apps running in the background can interfere with your phone’s network settings, causing connectivity issues. To check if this is the case:

1. Boot your phone into Safe Mode (the process varies by device).
2. In Safe Mode, all third-party apps are disabled. If your internet connection works better in this mode, it indicates that a recently installed app might be causing the problem.
3. Identify and uninstall the problematic app to resolve the issue.
