T-Mobile Access Point Name (APN) settings are required for cellular devices that intend to use the T-Mobile 4G and 5G network to access network services and browse the internet. APN is the name on the gateway on the service provider and the settings contain this name. The settings not only have the APN but also other settings for network services that rely on it like the MMS.
APN is normally set automatically when a device is detected on the network but in some citations a user needs to manually set it up. For this situation, I have provided the settings below for iPhones and Android devices.
