Fix your MMS picture messaging and data internet problems with one of the APN settings listed.
Please note: It is very IMPORTANT that you follow all the formatting shown in the APN text settings.
If you see something capitalized, then capitalize it in your settings. If you see a comma, use a comma, if there are no spaces between the comma and other words, then don't make spaces between them and the words in your settings. If you don't follow this advice, your APN settings will not work properly, and your internet and/or mms picture messaging may not work. Last, you are likely visiting this page because you can't get your mms or data to work properly. Prior to switching to one of the settings listed here, it is recommended that you delete all the other non working APN settings on your phone. After applying the new settings, be sure to save them, and then select one. If you still find they don't work, try rebooting your phone. If you still don't have success, leave a comment so the issue can be looked into. If you find you have APN settings that work and are different than listed here, feel free to share the settings in the comments section or send an email so that the database can be updated. If you need to send an email for any other reason, please list what phone you are using and which carrier/MVNO that you are having trouble getting your APN to work with.

Thank you for the info, Alternate 1 is the one that worked for me.
That’s good to hear. I’m glad to be of help.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! In less than 5 minutes, you solved my mobile network data problem that 4 calls and 3.5 hours of painful, broken English discussion could not! Phone – ZTE Z837VL, carrier: Total Wireless
Phone: Moto e4 plus phone (new, unlocked with BYOP SIM card from Total Wireless), the above APN “Verified Setting” directions are correct. Here’s what I did. 1. Go to “Settings”. Under Wireless & networks heading, tap “…more”. 2. Select “Cellular networks” 3. Select “Access Point Names” 4. Tap “Verizon Internet”. The “Edit access point” screen appears. 5. Tap “APN” and the edit screen appears. Delete what’s there and type TRACFONE.VZWENTP. Then Tap “OK”. 6. In the upper right corner of the “Edit access point” screen, tap the three dots. A menu appears. 7. Tap “save”. Verify the name is changed… Read more »
okay but how do i get to the apn settings there is NOTHING related to that. I even went in settings and used “search” for apn and APN … useless and i seriously feel TW is a scam. I used to use net10 and had no problems. I just wanted cheaper and i regret it…
NET10 and Total Wireless are for all intents and purposes, the same company. Both are owned and run by TracFone. What phone is it that you have?
just want to say thanks for this post, saved a lot time
Using a T-M sim to access the APN settings then put the TW sim back in and when I try to save it says “carrier does not allow adding apns of type default”
Thank you so much for posting this! I was getting so frustrated and this worked perfectly. thank you!
Okay, so I had the same issue.. (Pixel 2 XL -Total Wireless)
Things that do not work:
Go buy a TracFone sim kit and try the above additions (same issue as the TW sim)
Try my old Project Fi sim. (I could edit but, it did not work)
What did work:
Find a verizon sim card and change to TRACFONE.VZWENTP, swap sim and save.. Save yourself the headache and do this if you can..
I’m using a Verizon pixel 2 with a straight talk sim. the first APN settings helped me with my data issues but my MMS is still not working. Any idea how to fix that?
Also it’s onky working if I leave out the MMSC. With it neither work.
Using these settings I was able to partially fix my data problems on my Pixel 2. I can now connect but only at 3G I am not able to connect to LTE. I could not save the Bearer settings, it always went back to unspecified.
I don’t think bearer is too important here. Try making the apn lowercase like tracfone.vzwentp
Still only 3G
You can try Page Plus Cellular APN settings since it is basically the same company.
Still no luck
Is data turned on for the device? Did you try editing the APN inside the Textra app? Did you try changing the APN type within the Textra app? In the phone’s system settings, can you add a new apn? Trying to edit what is there may not be necessary.
