Is there something I should know? ie any workaround I should apply, or
unexpected behaviour I should keep in mind?

I think Robert is right, we need to be able to provide at least two, if

Additionally, the PIN and the password should probably not be printed
back in the clear, whereas the APN should be totally fine.
