Ting Mobile just like any other Mobile Broadband service provider requires Access Point Name (APN) settings to be configured to access the internet. Once you have a Ting SIM on your device, and an active Ting Mobile data plan, you will need Access Point Name Setting (APN) settings in order to connect to the internet. This is standard across all cellular data service providers that connect users to the internet via 4G and 5G networks.
Ting Mobile is a Mobile Virtual Operator (MVNO) that uses T-Mobile as a base carrier to offer its services. This enables Ting Mobile to have wide coverage in the United States. It gained popularity through its attractive pricing and free plans when you sign up with friends and families.
