Setup#

Overview#

The Librem AweSIM SIM card will work in almost any device. Most Android and iOS devices will configure automatically. If they do not, use the Librem 5 settings below.

  1. Install the AweSIM SIM card.

  2. Configure the carrier settings.
    1. Add or select the APN:

      • Settings → Mobile → Access Point Names

    2. Set the “Network Mode” to “4G Only”:

      • Settings → Mobile → Network Mode

    3. Configure APN/MMSC/Proxy parameters within the Chats application.

  3. Contact the Wireless Support department (wireless_support@puri.sm) to activate your AweSIM voice+data plan.

Warning

Be very careful with the SIM Lock option! Only proceed if you fully understand how this feature works.

It takes a couple business days to process a PIN unlock (PUK) request. Contact the Wireless Support department (wireless_support@puri.sm) to request a PUK reset.

The default SIM card PIN is 1111. This PIN is associated with the SIM card and not any phone it is connected to.
