Set Up or Edit your APN Access Point Names Android

An Access Point Name (a.k.a. APN) is the name of a gateway between a data connection and another computer network. So in short, your APN is what helps you connect to your carriers network.

• 3. Tap on More under Wireless & Networks
• 4. Tap on Mobile Networks
• 5. Tap on Access Point Names
• 6. Tap the + symbol at the bottom
• 7. Fill in the information for your carrier
• 8. Tap the menu button and select Save
