Hello @sitloongs,
Good to chat with you earlier today, as discussed here is the additional information for others in the forum.
The listing that Peplink currently has for the default auto APN for Australia of PLMN 50503 with vfinternet.au is no longer current (and may be quite old).
In searching through various forums (both Vodafone’s, other Australian forums and international forum), vfinternet.au is only used by a few MNVOs (Mobile Network Virtual Operator) and these mostly date back to 2014 and earlier.
This is the URL to the APNs on Vodafone’s official website (no mention of vfinternet.au):
If you run a search on Vodafone Australia’s website for the older APN of vfinternet.au, you get a negative result:
The trusted place for place for referencing APNs used in Australia across the various providers is currently the Whirlpool Forum, when searching this URL, you can only find four references to the older APN, these are all MNVOs and not Vodafone Australia http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/mobiles_apn, the other searches in the forum are old posts or for other MNVOs, here are two examples:
https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1694641
https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1490795
To us the evidence is conclusive that the source Peplink is currently referencing for the default APN used by Vodafone Australia is out of date (by possibly several years), please pass this along to the Peplink Engineering Team for revising with the next lot of firmware updated to Peplink & Pepwave devices.
Happy to Help,
Marcus
