# How do I install the configuration SMS for network settings on Android devices

**When do you receive a configuration message?**

You will automatically receive a configuration message by SMS in the following cases:\
When you first register your sipgate SIM or eSIM on an Android device\
When establishing a connection abroad for the first time - as soon as your device registers on a foreign network\
Once in summer 2025: All existing customers will receive an updated configuration\
The SMS contains all the necessary network settings so that mobile data works correctly - especially important for using the internet abroad.\
Installing these settings is required for smooth operation.

**Install configuration message**

You will be informed in advance that a configuration message will be sent. Installation takes just a few steps:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open notification**

Open the notification about the received configuration message in the notification center
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Tap the message**

Tap the message titled Network configuration or configuration message
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Select Install**

Select the Install option
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Enter PIN**

If a PIN is requested: Enter 1234 and confirm - after successful setup, the message Installation complete will appear
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

**PIN entry required?**

On some Android devices, a PIN is requested during installation.\
In this case, use the PIN 1234. This security prompt is to protect against unwanted configuration changes.

**Open configuration message manually**

If you missed the notification or accidentally closed it, you can also install the SMS afterward:\
\- Open the messaging app on your device\
\- Search for a message from sipgate\
\- Tap the message to install the network settings

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important note**\
Installing these settings is required for smooth operation. Without this configuration, mobile data, especially abroad, may not work correctly.\

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.sipgate.de/cloud-telefonanlage/en/getting-started/konfigurationsanleitungen/wie-installiere-ich-die-konfigurations-sms-fuer-netzwerkeinstellungen-auf-androi.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
