PureTalk APN (Access Point Name) is a setting on cellular devices using the PureTalk wireless service to access network services and the internet. A successful internet connection requires an active data plan and these devices to be within network coverage. PureTalk uses the AT&T network to provide coverage so coverage should never be an issue.
APN is the name of a gateway on the service provider’s network that cellular devices connect to. It is normally a string of letters. APN settings do not however do not only contain the APN but also a host of other settings like MMS, the type of APN and the protocol in use. I have provided the settings for Android devices and iPhones below. You can adapt them to other operating systems.
