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

Instructions for installing the sipgate configuration SMS on Android – set up network settings for mobile data and roaming.

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

You will automatically receive a configuration message by SMS in the following cases:\
When you register your sipgate SIM or eSIM for the first time 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 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 appears
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

**PIN entry required?**

On some Android devices, a PIN is requested during installation.\
In this case, use the PIN 1234. This security check serves 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 later:\
\- Open the Messages app on your device\
\- Look 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.\

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
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=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
