An APN (Access Point Name) is a list of settings that allows your handset to connect to your network’s internet.
As part of our ongoing commitment to improve our network experience, 48 are making some changes to our data settings that require you to update your APN settings as soon as possible to remain connected to data.
This article will guide you through updating your APN settings for Internet and MMS (picture text messaging).
