Some of our readers have asked if I have the Smile APN settings for using a Smile 4G/LTE SIM in a smartphone or tablet. So, I asked on your behalf, and have the information here for your use. As a bonus, I have also included APN settings for Smile Uganda and Tanzania.
1. Note: Your smartphone or tablet must support LTE 800 band. Check the pack or documentation. Putting a Smile SIM in an incompatible device means you will be unable to connect to the network.
2. Normally, your device should automatically configure itself once you pop in your Smile SIM (I am told that BB10 devices do this). If it doesn’t, below are the settings for the configuration if it is not automatically pulled from the network.

What Of Smile Nigeria default IP?
If you need to know what the Smile Nigeria default IP is, we say that is not as simple as it may sound. Internet service providers often use multiple IP addresses dynamically or according to location. You can use a trace tool like THIS to have an overview of the different IPs that Smile Nigeria uses.
