APN settings for Xiaomi MI 5s

[Mierzen]

Hi

I got a Telkom SIM on FreeMe 2 GB. The SIM is activated; my phone shows full bars and 4G, yet my Internet isn't working.

I'm thinking APN settings?
Which settings should I use?

I SMSed 185 and got this back:

Model not recognized or does not support automatic setup. Send SMS with first 8 numbers of IMEI to 185 (e.g. 'wap 35796800'). Type *#06# to find IMEI.

And then the wap one:

Your Xiaomi Mi 5S 2015711 does not support automatic setup of WAP. Please use www.telkom.co.za/ota or contact customer care on 180

So on that website, I got this:

Sorry, No Settings Available

We are sorry but the phone does not seem to be capable of any of our settings.

I filled that in where I thought I should, but it still doesn't connect to the Internet.

Which settings should I fill in where?

Thanks Aharon, I'll give that a go.
