Changing APN Settings on an iPhone

Your phone’s Access Point Name (APN) settings contain information that’s necessary to make data connections. While you usually don’t need to configure APN settings, if you’re experiencing data issues, it’s worth checking if your APN is set up correctly. Follow the steps below to find out how:

  1. Make sure your phone is unlocked. If it’s not, contact your previous wireless provider
  2. Check that your device is compatible on our network; for more information check out this article
  3. To access 5G network speeds, ensure you have a compatible phone, your phone’s software is up-to-date and you are connected to the Public Mobile 5G network where available.

  1. Open your phone’s settings and tap:
  • Cellular
  • Cellular Data Network
  1. Verify the following field match:
