Access Point Name (APN) is the name of the gateway between a 4G and 5G network and another network, normally public internet. This is the setting that is required for you to access the internet. These settings are normally configured automatically when you have Visible by Verizon SIM card in your device but sometimes you will need to set them manually when you happen to delete or just need to update them for some reason. Visible APN internet settings for iPhone and Android devices are listed below.
For you to successfully connect to the internet, you will need to be in a place with a network reception and Visible plan.
Visible by Verizon uses the Verizon network to provide its 4G LTE and 5G wireless services in the United States.

My iPhone 7 isn’t working with this apn, is there any other app to use?
Use VSBLINTERNET as an alternative APN if the other APN does not work on your Visible phone.
On a Samsung Galaxy s20 version 12, new customer with physical SIM since 9/12/22
Nothing really worked after switching from project FI
Had to hunt down a solution since my phone would not connect to a cellular tower from Verizon. (I presume that with the new SIM it did not come preset with APN settings for a “handshake” between my phone and Verizon’s cell towers)
After putting in the internet APN settings edit my phone could connect to cell towers, but only SMS and mobile data would work. MMS and voicemail still do not work.
Currently have an open ticket with the support team from the Visible app, but researching this topic it seems like there’s no 1 fix for everyone experiencing this issue, and it’s hardly being addressed by Visible.
Might be seamless on iphones but Android phones are not a seamless switch.
These APN settings didn’t really work for me, hope someone has better luck. If you’re on the fence of switching to visible, if say wait, highly regret it as there’s been countless times in these few days that I’ve missed important messages and voice mails because MMS and Voicemail aren’t working correctly.
Thank you for reaching out. I do not work for Visible but I can help.
You’ll need to set up 4 sets of APNs for MMS and Voicemail to work. Check the post above for the specific APN.
Regarding: Samsung Galaxy Note 20 does not work on Visible Wireless network.
Hi Vincent,
Stil cannot call/internet on Samsung Galaxy Note 20 even after tried adding 4 APNs for Visible Wireless network.
The issue right now is when APNs “Mobile Virtual Network Operator Type” set to “GID” nect setting “Mobile Virtual Network Operator Value” shows up as “BAE2000000000000” (not “BAE1000000000000” as you posted). But when the “BAE2000000000000” changed to “BAE1000000000000” and saved the changed one of the 4 APNs, it will not be saved (in other words, it will be erased). So with the “BAE2000000000000” value no call/internet: when tried making calls, phone will say “service is not registered on network”.
Have you seen/heard of this issue? Are other Samusung Android phones working fine in Visible.
The issue is quite unique. Reset your network settings and restart your Android phone with Visible SIM in your 0hone. If Visible does not send you new APN settings, enter the 4 once more. Make sure they are enabled and APN type settings are as shown in each APN settings page.
I’m having this same issue with a Galaxy S9. I can’t change the Mobile Virtual Network Operator Value from BAE2000000000000 to BAE1000000000000. If I do, it deletes the APN or reverts back to BAE2000000000000.
I have just updated the guide.
The new apns for visible hope this helps
