Settings last verified: November 2026.
Quick answer: the Somtel APN is internet, with no username or password.
Most phones set up Somtel internet on their own. Some Android phones show a ready-made Somtel entry named default; if it works, keep it. Add the APN below only when mobile data does not connect.
