Gen Mobile APN (Access Point Name) is a setting on mobile devices that allow them to connect to cellular networks through 4G and 5G and get access to network services and the internet. A successful internet requires a data plan and users to be within network coverage. Gen Mobile uses the T-Mobile network infrastructure to provide its wireless services, coverage should never be an issue.
APN is the name of the gateway on the network that cellular devices connect to. I have provided the APN settings below for Gen Mobile for Android and iOS/iPhone. You can use the settings on any other operating systems, and they should work just fine.
