How to Edit APN Settings on Xiaomi?

The APN (Access Point Name) on your Xiaomi is essential for a smooth internet connection, allowing you to browse the web, receive emails, and install apps. While most eSIMs, like Holafly, come preconfigured, you may need to adjust the APN settings on your Xiaomi when switching devices, traveling, or after a factory reset. This guide will show you how to solve any connection difficulties on your Xiaomi by configuring the APN manually or resetting the phone to its default internet settings, ensuring a seamless online experience. Let’s get started!

What is the APN for Holafly eSIM?

Holafly eSIMs come with a pre-configured APN, so usually, there's no need to modify it when you first start using data. However, if you experience difficulties with the connection or activation in the destination where the eSIM was purchased, you can try changing the APN on your Android to enhance the connection.

If needed, the Holafly APN is "Global." Simply enter "Global" in the required fields as shown in the steps below to ensure a smooth connection:

To edit APN settings on Xiaomi:

  • Go to Settings > Mobile networks > Select your Holafly eSIM > Tap on Access point names.
To edit APN settings on Xiaomi:
  • Check if there is an APN with the word 'Global' and select it, if it doesn't appear, you need to create it > To create it, press in New APN  > In the Name option, type Holafly to recognize it > Then, in APN, enter the word 'Global' > Tap on More > Choose Save > Once the changes are saved, select the newly created APN (Global) > Lastly please Restart your device.

In the following steps, we’ll show you how to reset network settings, ensuring that your APN Android configuration is properly set up for a stable connection.
