The Realme P3, being an older model, uses standard Android settings for APN configuration. You don’t need specific Realme P3 APN settings; the settings are the same as for any Android phone using Jio, Airtel, or Vi in India. However, *auto-configuration is generally the easiest method.* Your phone should automatically receive the correct settings when you insert a new SIM card.
If auto-configuration fails, here’s how to manually set up the APNs for Jio, Airtel, and Vi:
Before you begin:
* Ensure you have a working internet connection on another device: You may need to look up the correct APN settings if auto-configuration doesn’t work.
* Note: APN settings can sometimes change. Always check your carrier’s website for the most up-to-date information.
1. Accessing APN Settings:
The exact path to access APN settings might vary slightly depending on your Android version, but the general steps are:
* Settings > Network & internet > Mobile network > Advanced > Access Point Names (APN) or
* Settings > Mobile network > Access Point Names (APN)
2. Adding a New APN:
Once in the APN settings, look for an option to add a new APN (usually a “+” button or a “New APN” option).
3. APN Settings for each Carrier:
