'''Prerequisites''':
* Latest firmware with Multi-APN support
* Latest firmware with Multi-APN support <i>(R_00.07.00 and newer)</i>
* SIM card with multiple APNs
* SIM card with multiple APNs
In the example below, we will be using <i>wap</i> (dynamic) and <i>bangapro</i> (static) as our different APNs. Replace these values in accordance with your SIM card provider.
