SFone Wireless just like any other mobile broadband internet service provider requires Access Point Name (APN) settings in order to connect to the internet via a 4G or a 5G network. APN settings contain the necessary security and name of the gateway that allows users to establish a secure connection to the internet. To ensure that this is done successfully, ensure that you have an active SIM, within network coverage and SFone Wireless data plan.
SFone Wireless, LLC is a subsidiary of Cintex Wireless and is part of the Lifeline service providers that offer free and subsidized phone service and phones by the government. Lifeline services are based on eligibility. SFone Wireless has strong network coverage across the United States.
