Did you know that you need to have a data plan through your carrier that gives you access to high-speed LTE data or 4G connectivity in order to link your phone to the Internet? Although many carriers utilize a variety of network protocols and services, connecting to their networks always requires the configuration of particular parameters beforehand. These settings are referred to as APN, which stands for access point name. APNs are one-of-a-kind identifiers that make it possible for your mobile device to recognize the many networks to which it connects.
With that in mind, check out the instructions below to learn how to manually configure updated APN settings for any of the available network providers!
