Celcom is one of the top mobile network operators in Malaysia, offering a variety of services, including internet connectivity. To get online with your Celcom SIM, you just need to set up the APN (Access Point Name) settings correctly.

Default Celcom APN Settings

Most Celcom devices come with the default APN settings pre-configured. These settings are usually sufficient for accessing the internet. However, in some cases, you may need to manually configure the APN settings.

Troubleshooting APN Issues

1. Check APN Settings

2. Reset to Default

If I’m unsure, I reset the APN settings to default by going to Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names and selecting Reset to default.

3. Manually Input Settings

If resetting doesn’t work, I manually input the APN settings by going to Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, tapping Add, and filling in the correct information.

4. Reboot Device

After updating the settings, I reboot my device to apply the changes.

5. Check Data Plan

I make sure my data plan is active and I have enough data balance.

6. Try Different APN

If the issue persists, I will try creating a new APN with alternative settings (“celcom4g” or “celcom3g”).
