Welcome to CoreNetworkZ Tech Solutions. Today, I will explain how to manually configure BSNL 4G and 3G APNs on Android phones.
Should I Manually Set Up BSNL GPRS Settings?
I know many of my readers have this question in their minds. Let me answer it first. It doesn't need in most cases.
Once BSNL GPRS activates on a mobile handset, the provider sends automatic settings, which usually arrive almost instantly.
All you need to do is click the configuration file and install it.
If the automatic BSNL GPRS settings do not work, you can manually configure it on your Android device.
Then, you will find this tutorial helpful.
A rare reason some mentioned is the manual configuration of BSNL 4G APN settings improved the Internet speed.
Ajith Kumar V, a mobile phone technician, mentioned, "I deleted the automatic APN and replaced it with manual BSNL GPRS settings on my Vivo Y19. Now it has a faster mobile Internet."
This guide will cover the steps to set up BSNL GPRS settings on Redmi, Xiaomi, Samsung, POCO, Vivo, OPPO, and Realme devices.
Can I Set Up BSNL 4G APN Settings on Every Device?
BSNL took time to upgrade to 4G technologies, and now they are replacing the 3G sims with 4G. So, I saw comments from a few in the support section of CoreNetworkZ Tech Solutions asking for assistance in migrating to BSNL 4G.
Let me share one comment.
Muhammed Jamsheer, a drama artist from Delhi, asked, "Hello Alex, I have an old-generation Samsung smartphone. Can I set up BSNL 4G on it?"
He can configure BSNL 4G on his Samsung Android phone if it supports 4G.
Muhammed didn't mention the phone model.
If your Android handset supports it, the following steps will be sufficient to set up a BSNL 4G connection.
Set Up BSNL 4G APN On a Samsung Device
Like Muhammed Jamsheer, many readers of CoreNetworkZ Tech Solutions use Samsung Android phones.
So, let me explain the BSNL 4G APN settings for Samsung devices here.
Go to Settings
Tap on the Connections icon.
Tap on Mobile Networks
Select Access Point Names
Tap on the Add New APN.
Now, you should enter these details carefully.

| Password: | Not Set |

After saving these details, I recommend you reboot your Samsung phone. A simple reboot will fix any issues connecting your Samsung device to the BSNL 4G network.
A few users mentioned it in the comments.
Aswathi Gopi, a graduate student, stated, "I added the BSNL APN on my Samsung Galaxy M35 phone, but it worked only after I restarted it."

Oppo Android Phone's BSNL 4G APN Settings
I received a few support requests from Oppo smartphone users about configuring BSNL 4G Internet APN settings.
Pankaj Agarwal, a regular reader of CoreNetworkZ Tech Solutions, asked, "My Oppo K13 is not accepting the automatic Internet settings from the ISP. What should I do?"
Oppo Phone uses Android Interface ColorOS.
Sometimes, the Oppo smartphone requires manual configuration of BSNL GPRS settings. Let me explain the steps.
Open Settings.
Tap on the Mobile Network
