How to Set SMARTY APN on Samsung

Navigate to Settings → Connections → Mobile Networks → Access Point Names. You will see a list of existing APN profiles.
Tap each existing APN profile and delete entries that do not match SMARTY official values. Outdated profiles cause conflicts.

In the APN field type exactly: smarty. This is the gateway address SMARTY uses for all mobile data traffic.
Enter MMSC: http://mms.smarty.co.uk/ — this is required for picture messages to send and receive on SMARTY.
Tap Save (or the overflow menu → Save). Tap the radio button next to your new SMARTY profile to select it as active.
Open a browser and navigate to a website. If pages load, your SMARTY APN is configured correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SMARTY APN name?
The SMARTY APN is smarty. This is the exact value to enter in the APN field on your Samsung. On some devices the field is case-sensitive — enter it exactly as shown in lowercase.
Do I need a username and password for SMARTY APN?
For SMARTY, the username is blank and password is blank. If your device shows Authentication Type, set it to PAP or CHAP. Leave blank if your device does not require it.
Why did my SMARTY APN settings disappear?
APN settings can be cleared by a factory reset, a network settings reset, or a carrier update that pushes default profiles. They can also be overwritten if another app modifies network settings. Re-enter SMARTY APN values manually after any reset.
