Excess Telecom APN Settings for iPhone and Android Devices

Excess Telecome Wireless APN (Access Point Name) is a setting on devices to allow them to connect to a cellular network and access cellular services like the internet. Cellular devices like smartphones and tablets connect to the internet through 4G and 5G networks. APN is essentially the name of the gateway on a cellular network provider that cellular devices connect to. These settings do not however only contain the name of the gateway but also other settings like MMS, the protocol in use and much more.

A successful internet connection requires an Active account, devices to be within network coverage and a data plan or for the case of Excess Telecom an active Lifeline plan. Excess Telecom uses the T-Mobile network so coverage should be strong.

APN settings are normally configured automatically but, in some case, you need to configure them manually and the settings below come in handy. Once done with setting it up, restart your device for the settings to take effect.
