Understanding Hutch APN Settings

An APN acts like an identifier for a specific mobile internet network. In this case, the Hutch APN settings provide the information your device needs to connect to Hutch’s mobile data services. These settings typically include:

Network Identifier (APN Name)

• Primary options: “Hutch” or “HutchGPRS”
• Did you know? Some regions may use “3” as the APN name, reflecting Hutchison’s global brand.

Authentication Credentials

• Username: Usually left blank
• Password: Typically not required
• Fun fact: In rare cases, Hutch may use “guest” as a default username for troubleshooting purposes.

Authentication Protocol

1. Common options: PAP or CHAP
2. Expert tip: CHAP offers enhanced security compared to PAP, but may not be supported on all devices.

Important Note: These are the standard Hutch APN settings. There might be slight variations depending on your location or device type. If you’re unsure, consult Hutch customer service for assistance.

6. Turn your phone off and then back on again to make sure the new settings work.
7. Make sure you’re somewhere with a good Hutch signal. Hutch is the oldest telecom operator in Sri Lanka, starting in 1997.
