I recently configured OPNsense as my firewall and router.
I have the PPOE running on one NIC and DHCP on other NIC.
Then I have an access point to provide my home with Wifi, all connected to same switch.
All PC's and Laptop's connecting fine and has internet connection through LAN or Wifi.

But any mobile phone connected to the Wifi gets an IP from my DHCP and are able to ping my DHCP server, however i'm not able to ping any external sites. So my phones has IP's but no internet connection.

This seems like a DNS error, and I have tried changing all DNS settings but no luck.

Can anyone please help

As you probably concluded from having wireless Internet access through computers on the network, this is pretty much a out-of-the-box setup. The issue most likely is with your phone(s).
Delete the connection and connect again..?

Install some network diagnostics on the phone, e.g. HE Network Tools on Android.

Confirm that you can ping 8.8.8.8 to ensure that your routing is working.  Do DNS lookups to confirm they are not.

Run a packet trace on OPNsense to see where the phones are trying to connect to.
