About Offline SIM APN Database Pro

Offline APN Database is for international travelers who like saving money on cell voice and data service by using a local SIM card purchased at their destination. The app contains a locally stored database with over 1300 different APN codes for carriers all over the globe. The app will be updated whenever the list is modified.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you find a SIM that does not have a valid APN in the database please email me the settings displayed on the first screen so we can find the correct settings together. I would like the APN list to be as complete as possible, but I will need help from everyone. Please check against the database using the free version first.

I wrote this app for my own travels, so I have a personal desire for it to work whenever I happen to be. I don't want to buy a SIM I can't get the settings for either.

How does this app save money?
Most cell providers charge outrageous fees for international roaming. You can avoid international roaming fees by purchasing a local SIM. In many countries you can get one for less than $10.

In order to do this you need a phone that is not carrier locked (this is not the same as rooting). You can get your phone's unlock code and instructions on how to use it from your carrier. Most of the time you can get this over the phone from your service provider.

Using a local SIM will give you a local phone number. However, If the purchased SIM card includes data getting an internet connection requires the service providers APN settings. This can be difficult to get if you do not speak the local language.

You can learn more about APN settings and how they work here:

This app contains a huge database of known APN settings for SIM cards. Run the app and search for your SIM's APN settings. Then you can add these settings automatically, or in the case of Ice Cream Sandwich users copy and paste the individual settings into a new APN entry.

PROFESSIONAL VERSION:
The professional version displays now includes an option for rooted phones to add settings directly to the database rather then having to copy and paste each setting. This version displays the SIM phone number if available, and adds the ability to browse the included APN database by country. This will allow people to check on what APN strings are in the system before travelling to a new destination.

APPLICATION LIMITATIONS:
This application will not give your phone signal where it normally will not get it.
This app will NOT UNLOCK YOUR PHONE. Please stop emailing me asking for an unlock code. :)

My email is provided for support with the application. If you have a SIM card that was not provided with the phone and the application does not have your APN setting please email me. If you have any other issue please contact your service provider. Again, don't ask me for an unlock code.

It technically does as promised, however there are many apns not listed. This is not a miracle tool, it is a large archive of known apn settings.

This app performs exactly as advertised, providing SIM APN settings for all kinds of regions. Check out the free version first, then help support the author with this version.

As of 5-16-15 does not work with i535 even with pro. Move it to system, says it added apn list, but nothing is there. I'm running 4.4.2 should let you have a clean build for apns not listed and still be able to add apns

I'm sure it would have worked if it had straight talk in the data base. If you can add it or figure out what I can do I'll change it to 5*

I often switch devices, and the APN settings aren't always preserved. This is exactly the sort of time-saver I was looking for.

I run android 4.4, coming from Verizon, so changing APN is not easy to begin with. Was able to do it through free version of this app, so bought it. Write as root didn't work. Switched to GIV Mobile, which isn't in db. Would like to add it myself, but can't. Seems silly that I can't just add it, as db is already in place ... this means I *still* have to enter the settings everytime. I'd like to be able to add, or to get a refund.

This app works great! If you have a rooted phone, make it a system app on Ice Cream Sandwich or higher and it will automatically do the APN settings.

I have a Galaxy S4 that I modified to use GSM and CDMA carries SIM cards and thanks to this app I can fully use any cellphone company on the planet with this 1 phone

N70%
by N####:

I wasn't sure if I wanted to buy the Pro version, but after the ease of use if the free version I definitely wanted the full version so I could access all of the APNs before traveling. I have a rooted S3 and added this app to the system. This allowed me to insert a local SIM card, open the app, and write to the APN list on my phone. This was especially important as the 4.1 & 4.2 version of Verizon software did not allow you to add APNs. This app worked correctly for both Germany and Italy.

Would love to see functionality for dual Sim phones to be able to select which Sim to scan and deploy the APN settings to.

I am currently in Bahrain and needed to get a sim for my Motorola phone. After purchasing the added data plan, I was informed that viva did not have APN settings for my phone and that the money I paid for the added data was not refundable. I searched the internet with no luck, and by chance found this app browsing the google store. Downloaded the app and within seconds I was up ne running with full data access. Thank you so much for the app. You are a life saver!

Installed this on my Google Nexus 4. I am on ATT pre-paid (GoPhone) plan. First off, the app recognized my phone as running on Ice Cream Sandwich, wrong. I am running the latest rev of Jelly Bean. I used the APN settings listed for an ATT phone, only one was listed and I cannot send or receive MMS. Worst off, I would not be writing this review had I been able to email the developer, but when I click on the link, nothing happens. Don't buy this app, waste of money. It is nothing more than a list of known APN settings which you can find on your own using a Google search. This app is BS!

I have a Verizon 4g nexus on a separate provider. I couldn't send MMS. This app fixed w/o rooting or unlocking. He worked with me until we got it fixed. Would give 10 stars if I could

The setting I need are not in the database, you don't know that until you bought it. That is good business.

There's nothing like this out there. This app saved me a BS $15+ "reprogramming fee" from cell phone sales staff. Great app, support this developer!

Has a great many APNs for providers all around the word, but it did not have my APN, which is the prepaid APN for Red Bull Mobile in Australia.
