How to set up a Google Pixel phone with a Dark Star line

Edited

It's just a few steps from here to get your phone set up for the Dark Star line. For a smooth activation process, it is recommended not to have more than 2 eSIMs already installed on your device.

APN settings are case-sensitive and do not have any spaces or special characters. The settings have to be entered exactly the way they appear below for the phone to work properly.

  1. Go to Settings > Connections / Network & Internet > Mobile Networks / Cellular networks > Access Point Names

    Some phones may have this option under Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
    Or Settings > Connections > More networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names

  2. Tap the menu button (usually 3 stacked dots).

  3. Reset the settings by tapping on Reset to default.

  4. Select ADD.

  5. Update the fields under the Edit Access Point section with the settings shown below.

    Name: Darkstar

    APN: ereseller

    MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net

    MMS Proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net

    MMS Port: 80

    MCC: 310 

    MNC: 410 (280 in case the APN does not save when entered)

    APN Type: default,supl,mms,fota

    APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6

    Leave all other fields empty

  6. Tap Menu

  7. Select Save

Go back to the Access Point Names and confirm if your APN is saved.


Hotspot

  • For hotspot connectivity on Pixel devices, if you are getting an error while turning the hotspot toggle on, you will need to make sure "Private DNS" is disabled

  • Go to Settings > Network & Internet > you will see Private DNS under security settings

  • Turn this OFF and try to enable Hotspot

Note: If you're having issues with using mobile hotspot from your device even after its enabled, use the same APN above, and also add the following fields:

MVNO type: GID

MVNO value: 20FF
