Type of yota mobile virtual network operator. Manual setup of Yota on Android on your own. Possible problems and solutions
Proper Internet setup Yota guarantees the normal functioning of the tablet PC or smartphone on the network. To do this, you need to correctly register the access point name - APN. It serves as a kind of identifier with which a mobile subscriber gets access to the Internet and can send MMS.
Automatic setting
Yota makes every effort so that its future subscribers do not have to make unnecessary touches on the touch screen and do not have to configure anything. When inserting a SIM card into your gadget, the user needs to wait a bit, after which the name of the mobile operator, Yota, will appear on the screen. The operator independently sends all the settings of the APN Yota access point, which are automatically registered in the mobile device. Then you can turn on the data transfer and try to use the Internet.
If identification on the network and automatic APN setup went smoothly, then one of the icons (GPRS, 3G, 4G LTE) will appear in the status bar, depending on the signal strength in the Iota network coverage area. However, the reason for the low speed of the Internet or its complete absence may be incorrectly set parameters, which can be set manually.
Manual setting
Manually registering an APN access point for Yota in a touch screen device is as easy as setting an alarm clock on it. It only takes a few minutes to complete this task.
On an Android device
To set up APN Yota, owners of devices running on Android OS will only need to register two parameters located in the section: Settings> More> Mobile network> Select SIM card> Access points (APN). You can then edit an existing access point or create a new one. Among the proposed list of parameters, we are only interested in two lines in which we should enter:
- "Name" - yota;
- "APN" - internet.yota.
This completes the Yota setup on android. It should be noted that the values of the remaining parameters do not need to be changed. Menu names may vary slightly on different mobile devices. However, intuitively you can always get to enter the parameters of the access point.
On iOS and Windows Phone
Setting up a Yota access point in products from Apple and Microsoft is to fill in just one line (APN - internet.yota), which can be found in the section:
- for iPhone: Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data.
- for WinPhone: Settings > Access point > Add access point.
Possible problems
Sometimes Internet users from Yota find themselves in a situation where the actual data transfer rate is lower than the declared one, although the Yota Internet settings are correct. At the same time, the smartphone is in an area with 4G LTE coverage. The problem is hidden in the incorrectly set “Network mode” setting, which is located in the following tab: “Other networks” or “More”> “Mobile network”> “select SIM card”. The user should select the item with automatic network detection (LTE/3G/2G). The choice in favor of “3G only (WCDMA)” or “2G only (GSM)” is justified in cases where the subscriber is outside the 4G LTE coverage area. This reduces the load on the battery.
Yota subscribers should remember that high-speed Internet is available only on one tablet device without the right to distribute it to other users. If the Wi-Fi access point is illegally activated, the speed is reduced to 64 Kbps. In this case, Yota offers to return the maximum speed and fully distribute the Internet via Wi-Fi for an additional fee, as evidenced by a pop-up window on the tablet screen indicating the available tariffs. At the end of 2016, Yota's tariffs for smartphones have changed - now they do not have unlimited Internet, and the ban on distributing Wi-Fi and downloading torrents has been lifted.

In addition, an undoubted advantage is a significant coverage area on which the company's services are provided. All these factors lead to the fact that an increasing number of people become customers of Iota.

Despite the fact that the Yota operator has been quite successfully providing communication services for some time, many users still have a number of questions. Finding answers to them is not so easy, especially when it comes to setting up a mobile gadget to work with a SIM card of this operator.
This article will touch on the topic of how the Internet is configured on the Yota number. Is it possible to do it automatically and how can I manually set the required parameters?
Mobile Internet from Yota
The question of how the Internet is configured on the Yota number is especially relevant for those customers who have recently begun using the communication services of the operator in question. This may also apply to subscribers who have changed their mobile gadget. After all, when installing a SIM card in a new device, you must re-perform the steps to set up Yota Internet.
At the same time, it is worth remembering that most modern devices that can be purchased at a communication store or other electronics supermarket are able to independently configure the Internet. Thus, most likely, not all clients will have to delve into the details, but only those whose mobile device can automatically receive Internet parameters.
Sometimes users think that it is not possible to use the Internet due to the fact that the necessary Yota Internet settings are missing. Although in fact the problem may be due to other factors:
- there is no money on the account;
- disabled service "Internet" on the number;
- disabled mobile data in the device itself;
- mobile gadget is defective;
- repair work on the side of the service provider;
- The operating system has a virus that blocks the ability to connect to the Internet.
Internet setup Yota
As mentioned earlier, on a phone with a Yota SIM card, Internet setup can be done automatically. What do I need to do? In fact, the subscriber just needs to insert a SIM card into the slot of a smartphone or tablet PC and wait until the operator icon appears on the display. This indicates that the number has been registered on the network. Then you should go to a browser or other application that has access to the global network and check if there is a connection. First you need to make sure that the Internet service is connected to the number (it is included in the list of basic ones and is available to everyone by default), and mobile data is also activated in the gadget settings.
Manually configuring Internet settings on Apple devices
For owners of "apple" devices using the SIM card of the operator considered in the current article, it will be good news that setting the parameters on their devices is not much different from the settings on gadgets with other operating systems. So, to configure, you need to go to the appropriate section (with the general parameters of the smartphone) and go to the “Cellular Communications” section (depending on the OS version, the names may differ).
Next, select the "Cellular Data" section. In the form that opens, you need to fill in only one parameter - this is APN. Other fields do not need to be filled in. Access point (APN) - internet.yota. Then you need to correct the network type so that the machine can connect to the 3G and 4G system.
Internet settings Yota on Android
Owners of mobile gadgets running on the Android platform will have to perform all the same steps, but with some reservations.
First, in the general settings of your smartphone (or tablet), you should call up additional options by clicking the "More" button. There will be an item "Cellular network" (there may be a different name on different models of gadgets). As in the case of iOS devices, you should enter an access point in the form that opens - internet.yota and also indicate the name Yota. No other parameters need to be set in the current form. You should save the entered data and then set the network type so that the gadget can receive both 3G and 4G (LTE) signals, unless, of course, the device itself supports this function.
Manually configuring Internet settings on Windows devices
When using a Yota SIM card in a device with a Windows operating system, the subscriber configures the Internet in a similar way. In the cellular network settings, you must specify an access point and save it. You do not need to enter values in other fields, since the APN is quite enough to connect to the Internet.
Many customers are interested in how to get automatic Yota Internet settings? After all, other telecom operators provide their users with such an opportunity. Iota does not provide a service for ordering auto settings for the Internet and multimedia messages. This may be due to the fact that new generation mobile phones, as well as tablet PCs, are able to independently obtain the necessary network parameters. At the same time, you can always go in and check in the phone settings whether the access point is correctly registered, and if necessary, edit it. This is done very simply (it was previously described how Yota Internet is configured on the phone).
