Step 1. First things first, you’re going to need your Android device. Tap that little gear icon on the home screen to open up your settings.

Best Practices for Troubleshooting APN Problems
So you’ve got some APN issues with your Go Smart device? Don’t worry; we’re going to get through this together. Let me share a few of my best practices for troubleshooting those pesky APN problems.
Solution # 1. First off, check your APN settings. The tiniest mistake can throw everything off balance. I’d recommend double-checking against the official Go Smart settings.
Solution # 2. Next up, if the settings are correct, but you’re still stuck in no-service limbo, try the age-old trick – reboot your phone. You wouldn’t believe how many problems a simple restart can solve!
Solution # 3. If that doesn’t do the trick either, let’s move on to the next step – resetting your network settings. Remember that this will reset your Wi-Fi networks and passwords, so ensure you have those handy before starting.
Solution # 4. Still no luck? It might be time to contact Go Smart Support directly.
And finally, don’t forget about good old-fashioned patience. Sometimes these things take time to resolve themselves.
