APN Configuration on MS Lumia

This document details how to configure your service Lumia in order to enable data traffic via your service SIM (if applicable). It may be applicable to other Windows Phone models as well.

IMPORTANT: if you are not eligible, you should NOT enable data traffic and/or data roaming on your device in order not to incur in costs. Should this happen, any costs will be charged to you personally.

The below guide has been tested on Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2. Screenshots are taken from Lumia 640 XL thus may slightly differ from other models.
