Access Point Name is the name of the gateway in the service provider that enables users to use a 5G, 4G, LTE, or another wireless broadband network to access the public internet. Each service provider has its own unique settings and thus has to be configured appropriately.
TracFone wireless is MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator), which means it uses other network’s infrastructure to offer its services. TracFone uses Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile networks. To set up an Access Point Name, you will need to use a specific APN for it to work appropriately. I have used Verizon since it has the widest network coverage in the United States at over 70%. Other options are listed below.
