This topic is meant to support people trying to set up APN settings on UT devices in Canada. It mirrors the one set up for the USA

---UPDATE July 2024---

Here are my current APN settings that get me data and MMS:

Used For: Internet + MMS
Name: Internet/MMS 2
APN: sp.mb.com
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mb/mmsc
Proxy: mmscproxy.mobility.ca
Proxy Port: 8799
<User Name, Password ALL BLANK>

OLD SETTINGS - do not work anymore, but kept in post just on caseit is useful to others.

(https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8338/updated-usa-t-mobile-and-mvno-settings-for-a-fully-functional-ut-device?lang=en-After discussion with the folks responsible for that topic it was decided Canada needed a separate page since it appears our 3G and 2G shutdowns have much different timelines. 

Here are the APN settings that allow data and MMS on Public Mobile: 
 ```
Public Mobile

Used For: Internet + MMS
Name: Internet/MMS 2
APN: sp.mb.com
MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mb/mmsc
Proxy: 74.49.0.18
Proxy Port: 80
<User Name, Password ALL BLANK>

```
NOTE: Cellular connection type works ONLY on the 2G/3G setting. Unlike in the USA it also appears that MMS can be sent and received with WIFI on as well. 

NOTE 2: Device these settings were tested on: 
* Pixel 3a running Focal

On another positive, I received my first emoji tonight. Did not try to send mms back, too late. Will try tomorrow.

If it helps, I can also probably find the posted APN settings Public Mobile suggests I use to get mms/data and see if we can figure out what is and isn't lining up.

@matteo my sincerest appologies for the delay in responding. I am slammed with work at the moment but plan to respon asap. I also saw your new version of the app you want tested in the QA telegram chat. I will install and send feed back soon. Appreciate your patience and all your work on this great app!

@crab_aesthetics my 2017 Hyndai Ioniq paired easily with my 3a over bluetooth and happily reconnects when I enter the car. I can play music and even make and take calls using the car's touchscreen and buttons on the steering wheel. YMMV, but I felt I should at least let you know what I have working.

@crab_aesthetics as far as I could tell there was nothing labled Uconnect in the bluetooth menu/options in my Hyundai. A quick Google search Looking for Hyundai and Uconnect also didn't bring up anything. It seems like a vanilla stock Bluetooth implementation. Hope this helps.

@crab_aesthetics bummer! Hope you can find a replacement. 3a is a nice UT phone.

@crab_aesthetics good luck!

@applee thanks. I didn't want to flag him with the use of his handle (I think he has a few other issues he is tackling at the moment) which is why I simply added his forum user page if we wanted to escalate the issue. Regardless, glad to hear he is aware. Cheers
