HUAWEI E5785

[ivorantony]

Hi had a search and cannot find a answer so will put it out there for you Knowledgeable folk to help me,
I have a HUAWEI E 5785 MiFi connected to a Poynting antenna on the roof with a super drug Sim,
All works well in the UK, hopefully off to Spain next month, on the super drug website it stipulates setting up your phone for use abroad, no mention of MiFi, and when I asked was told it probably wouldn’t work,
I know plenty on here that use the same set up successfully so is there anything I need to do to make sure it works abroad?
This is what super drug expect you to do for an IPhone but none of these settings appear on my MiFI,
Many thanks for any imput,

Additional the SIM card supplied is too large to fit the IPhone, ( I know I can cut it down but don’t want too) so setting up on my phone to put back into the MiFi won’t work, perhaps I’m over thinking this so would appreciate some guidance,

Bump - can anyone offer advice on this?

Have you taken out a plan on your new sim and connected to the internet? Do this in your mifi.
You need to do this before you leave the UK.
Next download the Huawei Al life app onto your phone, this will allow you to access the mifi settings.
Make a note of the Superdrug APN settings to use abroad (I had to alter these on foreign soil)
Enjoy your holiday

Thanks Bolti for that, it’s been working fine in the UK through December and I have enabled the MIFI for roaming,
I have the Huawei app on my iPad but the suggested setting from super drug do not show as options in the App, just trying to cover all eventualities,

Worked fine for me in October /November in France & Spain used 120gb in 6 weeks.
I think I had to put the APN settings in manually to get it to work but yours is already working.

You get all the usual 3 problems when roaming apart from that fine.

You Have to put the Apn settings in manually they are the ones you listed above.
