How to Set GP Internet Settings on iPhone (iOS)
On most iPhones, GP settings are configured automatically when you insert the SIM. If internet is not working:
- Go to Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data Network
- Under Cellular Data, enter APN: gpinternet

Alternative: On iOS 16 and above, go to Settings → General → VPN & Device Management to check if a carrier profile needs installing.
Easiest Way — Auto-Configure via SMS
Instead of entering settings manually, GP can send the configuration to your phone automatically:
- Open your messages app
- Type ALL and send to 8080
- You will receive a settings message from GP
- Open the message and tap Install or Save
- Enter password 1234 if prompted

This works on most Android phones and feature phones. It is the recommended method for non-technical users.

Alternative methods:
