Hello,
this message is not a question but a contribution. My father is a new Syma Mobile subscriber, and I spent over 3 hours trying various APN settings to make tethering and MMS functional.
I intended to publish this message as a supplement to the already rich discussion on the site http://forum.lesmobiles.com/symacom/syma-mobile-partage-de-connexion-impossible-t115935-20.html but I couldn't register (didn't receive the email for address validation)...
So here is the functional configuration I set up on a Chinese smartphone with stock Android Nougat 7.0.
There are indeed 2 APNs to register, the other fields are set to "undefined".
1)
Name: Syma
APN: symamobile.com
MCC: 208
MNC: 01
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: default,supl
MVNO type: IMSI
2)
Name: Orange MMS
APN: orange.acte
Username: orange
Password: orange
MMSC: http://mms.orange.fr
MMS Proxy: 10.168.010.200
MMS Port: 8080
MCC: 208
MNC: 01
Authentication type: PAP
APN type: mms
APN protocol: IPV4
Roaming APN protocol: IPV4
MVNO type: IMSI
Cheers

Hello,
How do you set "default,supl" for the APN type?
My SAMSUNG offers me a choice from a list
Thank you in advance

Thank you for your comments, it’s nice to see that this contribution is useful and functional for you too!
It’s still crazy that this operator can’t manage to provide this information on its website...

Thank you, with a Chinese phone, I was in the same mess. The Syma site is really not up to par. Kudos for your helpful contribution.
Thank you, I've been looking for this solution intermittently for a little while now, without success!
No one, a SYMA subscriber, can send me a screenshot of their access points?
There's nothing confidential and no private data ;-)
Thanks in advance.

Dude, I FINALLY FOUND THE SOLUTION!!!
HERE'S A GIFT

Port: not defined
Username: defined name
Password: defined name
Server: defined name
MMSC: defined name
MMS Proxy: defined name
MMS Port: 8080
MCC: 208

APN type: default,supl,a-gps,DUN (be sure to respect the capital letters and no spaces after the commas!)
APN protocol: IPV4
APN roaming protocol: IPV4

MVNO type: None (even though Syma says to use IMSI)

Please follow what is written carefully.
P.S: sorry Brupala, you were right, I thought it was mandatory but Huawei phones operate differently it seems regarding configuration
By the way, the connection is really awful, it's crazy in 2021, are you sure this goes through the Orange network??? Because it feels more like Free's ADSL than the Orange network :')
In any case, I’m going to change my plan

Super, thank you! Thanks to you, I was able to share the connection with my mother after 2 days of hassle! I don't understand why Syma doesn't provide this information on their site, it's really important...
Hello
I'm still having trouble with a Samsung A3
Do you have the same issue with the screen?
1 - no icon to select MMS Orange
2 - You can only select one APN at a time
Are you skipping the one from SYMA?
Thank you in advance

Hello,
Try to create a APN for "default" then an identical one for "supl" and finally a third one for "mms"
In my humble opinion, it should work.

Hello
Thank you so much for your willingness to share your Syma Com experience with us. I'm also having connection difficulties, which means I often experience "random disconnections." Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
The same goes for sharing the connection. Sometimes it drops on my second device, showing "Wifi connected but NO Internet."
And then I have to wait; there’s absolutely no logic behind everything that happens. I called customer service, we tried some things, it worked, and then we hung up. Five minutes later, the same issue.
I’m waiting a little longer, and as soon as it disconnects again, I’ll try your method.
I’m using a Samsung S7 Edge (SYMACOM), an S9, and a desktop PC.

Update:
I tried with the above settings: sharing is working again but with a very, very slow speed; I'm not even getting 1 Mbit. Yet I am in an elevated position and in a place where all networks have at least 40 Mbit reception.
I'm really disappointed... and I'm really fed up.
