Hello Community,

 

What is an APN?  What are the defaults on an APN?  When do we use them?

APN stands for access point name. They are settings used to help your phone access cellular data. Usually, when you put your SIM into your phone it will detect APNs. If you run into data problems you should go into your phone's settings and reset them to the defaults.

APN settings are needed to be able to use cellular data. Many phones have these already pre-configured.

If not.

The Access Point Name (APN) defines the network path for all cellular-data connectivity. Some carriers require you to enter your APN settings to set up your cellular service. ... If you can't modify your APN settings, contact your carrier.
