Working ways to activate the Yota SIM card. Yota USSD commands and how to use them


The relatively new operator Yota distributes its SIM cards in two ways - direct sale to the customer at the service office and delivery of a pre-ordered SIM card by mail. There are no problems with the purchase, but with activation, the matter is completely different. If an operator such as Megafon, for example, activates by simply dialing a combination of numbers on the phone, then with Iota everything is completely different.

In addition, it should be noted the special policy of the company, which provides for different SIM-cards for different devices. For example, a subscriber will not be able to use a SIM card purchased for the Internet on a smartphone in his tablet and vice versa. There are three types of SIM cards produced by Yota: for smartphones, tablets and for a USB modem. Therefore, we will consider how to activate the Iota SIM card on different devices.

Activation on Android smartphone, Windows Phone and iPhone

So, suppose that you have already issued a SIM card through the application, and the courier delivered it to you right in your hands. Now, in order to activate it, you need to:

  1. Make the first advance payment to your new SIM card number. Please note that the amount of the payment must correspond to the cost of the selected tariff that you plan to use.
  2. Now install the SIM card in your phone and turn it on.
  3. Please note that the name of the current operator should appear on the display. If everything goes well, then the SIM card has completed registration in the network and is already working. As a rule, it takes no more than 1-2 minutes to register a card.
  4. Now we open the mobile application for managing Yota services, and if you haven’t installed it yet, now is the time to download it. And adjust the parameters of your tariff plan.
  5. For successful activation, the smartphone must independently connect to the data network (2G, 3G or 4G), this can be tracked by the icon that appears on the smartphone screen. If the network type is determined, the activation can be considered successfully completed.
  6. If the icon does not appear, you will need to manually configure the access point (APN). Such problems arise most often due to a poor signal from the operator's cell towers or when the phone is unstable.
  7. If your phone is running Android, APN can be set up by going to Settings, selecting More, then "Mobile network" and look for the item there "Access Point". If you are using an iPhone, then go to "Settings", then "Cellular" and "Cellular Data". For Windows Phone users, the APN settings are in the menu "Settings - Hotspot".

Activation on Android tablet and iPad

If you are using an Android tablet, then for activation you will need to follow the same steps as for activation on a smartphone. First, we put the SIM card into the tablet PC and wait for the registration process to complete on the network, after which we need to configure the access point, if necessary.

On Android tablets, all the necessary settings are in the same place as on an Android smartphone. To set up tariff options, download the application from Google Play.

First, we insert the modem with a SIM card into the PC and wait for the modem to finish installing the drivers, after which the device will automatically be registered in the operator's network.
  2. If possible, connect your modem to a USB port that uses the USB 3.0 standard, as this will significantly increase the speed of mobile data transfer through the modem.
  3. Now you need to activate and create a profile. To do this, you need to open any page in an Internet browser. A redirect should take place, which will open the service page.
  4. To create a profile, use the tips that will appear on the page in the browser.
  5. After all these steps, you will activate the SIM card and the service will issue a login with a password to access your profile parameters.

After purchasing a SIM card from a Yota mobile operator, almost every subscriber has the same question: how to set up a Yota SIM card on a phone?

Yota SIM card setup

In the vast majority of cases, setting up a yota SIM card occurs automatically. This means that in order to start using the services of the operator, you need to install a SIM card in the slot and reboot the device. After switching on, you will see the name of the mobile operator you have chosen on the screen. So, after recognizing the SIM card, you need to launch the yota proprietary application, which is just the same and is responsible for activation. Here you can choose the appropriate tariff as follows:

  • in the window that appears after launching the application, you need to select the item "Select connection conditions", after which tariff variations will appear;
  • From the options that appear, you must choose the most attractive for you.

Setting up yota internet on your phone

Yota mobile internet settings are mostly done automatically. There are times when this does not happen. In such situations, you can enter the settings yourself. To do this, you just need to correctly specify the access point, since the remaining fields do not require filling. Modern smartphones have different software, so this setup process for different devices will be different. Let's consider yota ways to set up the Internet in your phone for the most popular operating systems today, such as:

  • android;
  • Windows phone;

Settings for Android

To register an access point for a given operating system, you must perform the following steps in turn:

  • go to the settings of your gadget;
  • select "More", then "Mobile network";
  • now you need to create a new entry in the "access points" section, specifying the name Yota, and in the APN line, enter: internet.yota.

yota settings for windows phone

To independently prescribe the settings for the Internet yota in this case, you must:

  • from the gadget settings go to "Access Points";
  • click on the “+” sign, thereby creating a new entry;
  • now you need to set a name for the point and write it in the line with the address: internet.yota;
  • click "save".

After saving a new entry, you must select it again and wait for the “Active” status to appear. Now we can assume that the yota setup on the phone is fully completed. Other fields also do not require filling.

Settings for iOS

To set up a mobile phone on this OS, you need to follow the algorithm:

  • in the settings of the mobile phone, you need to select "Cellular";
  • then go to "Cellular data";
  • write in the line with the address: internet.yota.

Thus, you can independently create access points in your mobile device and start using Yota Internet.

Quite young, but already having managed to win the hearts of many users, the Yota mobile operator continues its march across the country and recruits more and more users who are tired of paying fabulous sums to the Big Three. Yota offers completely unlimited access to the network, a package of minutes and endless SMS for a more than affordable price (from 300 rubles).

The operator also has small errors. Despite the use of modern technologies and capabilities, SIM cards do not always want to be activated properly. This is one of those things that you have to put up with when connecting to Yota. it does not take much time, even in manual mode.

Preparing to connect

Initially, even before purchasing a SIM card, you should make sure of a number of facts:

  1. Your device supports networks from the second (2G) to the fourth generation (LTE).
  2. Your locality is present on the coverage map, and Yota supports work in your region.

If there are no problems with these points, then you can proceed to the activation itself. To do this, you just need to install a SIM card in your mobile phone or tablet and turn off the connection to Wi-Fi (yes, activation takes place via To manage your account, pay, and so on, you should download the official Yota application (Internet settings in the phone must be made strictly with its available), it will help with the activation and installation of the tariff.

If after the operation the network did not appear, then you should reboot the device. Even if this does not help, then you need to enter the settings manually.

Another thing: a SIM card can be purchased anywhere, but it should only be activated where you plan to use it.

Yota on iOS

Manual means entering APN data into phone settings. This procedure is necessary in cases where the phone cannot receive this data on its own. So, in the case of iOS, you need to:

  1. Go to “Settings > Cellular > Data Options >
  2. Here, in the “Cellular data” item, enter APN - internet.yota (we leave the rest of the fields empty, this is important).
  3. To configure MMS, you need to go down a little lower and indicate the following in the appropriate paragraph:
    1. APN - mms.yota
    2. MMSC - http://mmsc:8002;
    3. MMS - proxy - 10.10.10.10:8080 (leave other fields empty).

Most often, such fine-tuning is required on tablets, while phones, in turn, cope automatically, but in which case these settings are also suitable for the iPhone.

Setting up Yota Internet on Android

There is no fundamental difference in the settings for these two platforms, in most cases it is also enough to download the Yota application and turn off Wi-Fi, but if manual configuration is needed, then we proceed further:

  1. Go to “Settings > More > Mobile network > Access points > Change / create access point” (the names of the items may vary from time to time, it all depends on the version of the operating system, and sometimes on the shell used).
  2. To configure APN, you must specify two parameters: APN - internet.yota and APN Type - default, supl.
  3. To configure MMS, specify the following data:
    • APN - mms.yota
    • MMSC - http://mmsc:8002;
    • MMS - proxy - 10.10.10.10;
    • MMS port - 8080;
    • APN Type - mms.

After entering the data, you should reboot the device. If everything is done correctly, then the SIM card should be activated, and the Internet should go into working condition.

by Yota

In addition to SIM cards, Yota also sells all kinds of routers and modems. They allow you to access the network using a laptop or computer (single user device). Routers, on the other hand, can create an impromptu Wi-Fi structure based on Yota's 4G networks. This network is available to anyone who knows the password from it (multi-user option).

In most cases, Yota's automatic configuration and activation should be sufficient. Setting up the Internet on a peripheral device is the same as in the case of a SIM card: as soon as you connect the modem to a computer or laptop, it will automatically enter all the data and send you to the official website. On the site, you will be asked to fill out a profile, as well as enter a confirmation code (it will be sent via SMS to the number that was specified during registration).

Setting up an access point

  1. To get started, go to “Settings > Cellular > Data Options > Cellular Data Network”.
  2. We are looking for the item “Modem Mode” at the bottom. Enter the following parameters:
    • APN - internet.
    • The username is gdata.
    • The password is gdata.
    • After that, you should wait a bit or restart the device.

At the moment, this method remains the easiest to use and does not require the purchase of additional devices from Yota. Setting up the Internet and APN manually will cost less and save you from having to carry another gadget with you.

conclusions

As you can see, Yota Internet settings will not take much time, and even a novice in computers and smartphones can easily cope with them. Moreover, even serious problems like the lack of modem mode can be solved with a couple of clicks within two minutes. After that, you can fully enjoy truly unlimited internet.
