What is APN?
APN, or Access Point Name, is the main setting for all cellular data connectivity. Your phone reads this setting to access the link between your carrier’s mobile network and the Internet. All mobile network companies offer their distinctive APN settings to users to allow them to use their internet services. Right APN settings can help increase the internet speed on phones for streaming HD videos, playing online games, and much more.
