How to add a working mobile internet settings or access point for S^3 phones here in the Philippines from Globe Smart and Sun Celular networks

Before you start, make sure that you have a signal

Here is the steps:
1. Open  Menu > Settings > Connectivity





2. Open Settings then Destinations



3. Tap "Access Point . Add new acc. pt."



4. Choose YES when you are asked "Automatically check for available access points?"
* If you want to add the access point manually, choose NO" . You can get the settings here.



5. Select Packet Data and specify the access point name. You can also check the link above to see samples of valid access point name.



6. Select Internet as the Destination

* Some network requires an activation before the settings work, check it with your service provider.

Update: If you believe you have entered the correct settings, and the internet connection is already activated and you still encounter problems connecting to internet, check if roaming is enabled, roaming should be disabled.  Thanks Jex for this info.

To save data charges:
1. Change the priority of your network connection to be lesser than that of a WiFi connection to make your phone choose WiFi first if there is an available connection.
2. When you are not using the internet, change the access point name to an invalid one to avoid some applications that frequently connect to internet from doing so. Sample globe's valid access point is http.globe.com.ph , just add letters or numbers to make it invalid http.globe.com.ph1
