How do I enter my Access Point Name (APN) settings on Android?Updated 2 days ago

Access Point Name (APN) are the settings your phone needs in order to set up a connection with the gateway between your carrier's cellular network and the Internet. It defines the network path for all cellular data connectivity. Some carriers require you to enter your APN settings to set up your cellular service.

The APN settings should be entered and updated automatically on your device, but in the event that you have to manually set the APN settings, find the settings per carrier below.

Not all carriers allow users to manually set the APN settings, so don't edit the APN unless advised by your carrier. Contact your carrier to verify the correct APN settings.

You can view your APN settings in one of the following locations:

  • For Samsung, go to: "Settings" > "Connections" > "Mobile networks" > "Access Point Names".
  • For Pixel, go to: "Settings" > "Network & Internet" > "Mobile network" > "Advanced" > "Access Point Names".
