Let’s learn how to set up Ufone 3G Internet APN Settings for Android and how to boost the signal strength of Ufone signal in low coverage areas.
First of all you need to go to settings section of your Android and then select mobile networks. In my mobile, it is possible by just clicking on settings > more or Wireless & Networks > Mobile networks
Now select Access Point Names. Select the + sign and start adding the following details.

Details for Ufone 3G MMS APN Settings
Follow the same procedure for Ufone MMS settings. But in my opinion you don’t need Ufone MMS settings because the internet works without it. You don’t even need the APN settings because the Android smartphone will pick that up automatically.
Nonetheless, here is the procedure. Simply repeat what you did above.
- Go to settings > Wireless and networks > Access point names.
- Go to APN settings and select +
- Now enter the following details within the selected fields.

Why is Ufone 3G Internet Signal too Weak?
If the Ufone internet is too slow then simply changed the preferred network type in Ufone.
Here is how to do it.
Go to Settings > Wireless and Networks > Preferred Network Type – Click it.
Change the preferred network type from ‘Global’ to ‘GSM / UMTS’. That’s it.
Now check if the mobile signal coverage becomes available.
Sometimes the mobile signals are available but you have limited connectivity. In that case change the global settings and you will get network coverage.
This usually happens in areas where the network coverage isn’t available or the signal is too weak. It happened with me in Gawadar. But by using this tip I was able to increase the coverage of the mobile network.
If Ufone Network Available But 3G Internet Not Working
You need to repeat the same above method if the Ufone signal strength is too weak. Because sometimes on the ‘Global’ preferred network settings, Ufone doesn’t pick the actual signal strength. By changing that to GSM/UMTS you provide it additional power to do that.
