Total by Verizon APN (Access Point Name) is a setting on cellular devices to guide them in connecting to cellular networks and to the internet. A successful internet connection requires a data plan and users to be within network coverage. Total by Verizon uses the Verizon network to provide internet so connectivity should never be an issue.
APN is basically the name of the gateway on the network and comes with a host of other settings like MMS or the type of APN. I have provided the settings for Android and iPhones below and can easily be adapted to work with any other operating system. Input the settings as they are.
