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.

If you tried the above and nothing at all works for you, your phone shows no signal and you still can’t place calls, send texts and use data, your phone is either not compatible with the Total Wireless network or you have a bad SIM card and should request a new one from Total Wireless.
If you can use some parts of the phone like make calls and send texts but can not connect to the internet or send MMS your SIM card is fine but your phone may not be compatible with the network. It may also be that you still haven’t found a working APN for your device. You should also double check your APN settings and make sure you haven’t accidentally added a space, or comma to a setting when there shouldn’t be any.
Might be the wrong place for it, but I’m curious if anyone is using a Verizon Note 8 on TW, and able to use the wifi hotspot feature?
I have a Samsung Note 9. Was on Verizon Wireless on Android 8.1 Oreo. I just upgraded to Pie yesterday and I no longer have MMS. Can’t send or receive picture messages. When I make a phone call 4g disappears and I believe I am switched to another network for calling as signal strength drops on calls. Could be part of the reason MMS doesnt work. I keep seeing all these different APN settings and nothing seems to change things for me. I even put http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms in the MMSC portion of the APN. Not sure what other settings I could… Read more »
Brother use this for Note9. Just tested it and it works. The store gave me a sim card and he said that it was a Verizon sim card but the first two letters are TFxxxx…try it.

You can see my phone/issues in the comments below, just wanted to leave a note that I tried the Straight Talk APN in the comments on that page, and it worked for me (Samsung Galaxy S9).

Thanks for reporting. I will have to add that one to the database.
Galaxy S9, bought on Amazon. I have called T-Mobile to check the IMEI, they say it is clear, and it comes up clear on various websites I looked on. I bought the BYOD Sim card, installed it and had my son activate with Total Wireless. He thought everything was working for a few hours, but discovered when he left the house he could not access data. When he came home, and used WiFi, everything was fine. We have tried many different things to resolve this, including a different sim card (from Verizon), and multiple network resets while working with Total… Read more »
Why are you calling T-Mobile to check the IMEI when you want to use the phone with Verizon based service? You need to check Verizon’s or Total Wireless’s IMEI checker.
Everytime the phone was restarted, it came up with a T-Mobile splash screen, and had T-Mobile apps (unlock device) installed on it. Total Wireless has confirmed the IMEI is clear.
For the future, you only need to check the IMEI with the carrier or provider you intend to use the phone with. For alternative APNs you may also want to try Straight Talk APNs with Total Wireless.
Is there any way to eliminate one of the possibilities? Everything worked once…does this point to a bad sim card, phone, or network?
It’s not a bad SIM card. There is a user submitted APN in the Straight Talk APN comments section that you may want to try. Some Galaxy S9 users are having success with it
Hi, new to Total Wireless. Internet only works if I am connected to a wifi. No issues with texting, solely the internet. Please help as I’m trying to force myself from factory resetting (will that even solve issue?)
I have a Samsung galaxy s9!
Factory resetting is useless, only need to do a network reset and apn reset.
I brought my Verizon note 9 to total wireless and it’s been awful. No internet no call now I have them but I still cant even send or receive pictures even through Verizon mess app. Any suggestions?
Hi, I have a new Note 8 unlocked and am having trouble getting LTE and Picture texting to work together. IF I configure APN to vzwinternet I can MMS but only 3G data…..IF I use tracfone.vzwentp I can get 4G LTE data but no MMS. Any ideas would be appreciated….after multiple go arounds with tatal wireless support no help there.
Did you try the tracfone.vzwentp APN and use the Verizon messages app for MMS picture messaging?
Hey Bill – did you ever get this working? I have a note8 and I’m having the same trouble. Can’t seem to get anything but 3G sitting in the same locations where I had LTE service while on Verizon. Would love any advice! Thanks!Renae
Any luck here?
Hi I have a Samsung Note 9 and I was with Verizon and decided to switch to Total Wireless since it was the same Verizon network but at a lower price. I received the BYOD sim in the mail and activated my phone but instantly had an issue with no being able to make or receive calls and sms/mms messages and also no internet unless connected to WIFI. When troubleshooting with a Total Wireless rep they provided me with a new APN setting which I don’t see listed above however it fixed everything except for my MMS which I still… Read more »
Download the Verizon messages app.
thanks. i did it and my s9+ now sends pictures on messages. Total Wireless was totally clueless to solve my problem
Also to clarify I tried using the Verizon Messages+ app to send my MMS messages and I encountered the same issue. There’s no “error” pop up but when going back into check on the send status it shows and exclamation point next to it saying message failed.
Then set the mmsc and apn type
Ok what should I put in those fields? Also does it make a difference if the phone was originally bought thru T-Mobile then I switched to Verizon so when I turn the device on the Verizon logo appears rather than T-Mobile
Mmsc and apn types are already listed on the page. You’ll have to try the different ones. No, it doesn’t matter that it was T-Mobile.
Ok thanks I appreciate your help but I’ve tried all versions above as you mentioned to do and still nothing as far as my MMS messages. But I’ll figure something out hopefully lol. Thanks again!
Hi did you ever get an answer. I’m having the exact same issue!I can get text messages but not picture message. I’m at a lost
Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy s6 phone. Switched from Verizon to Total Wireless . Now I can’t send pictures unless through a group message and can’t send txt messages except a few people . I think Verizon users.
Download the Verizon messages app from the play store.
Hello. I can’t enable or disable my APN. The toggle switch is grey. My APN name is VZWINTERNET and the APN is TRACFONE.VZWENTP. the first month it worked fine. Now it won’t connect to any mobile data even when i set it for Home 4G. It says network unavailable. I cannot send or receive sms or mms texts either. I can’t get to the settings to enter anything into MMSC, Bearer, MVNO Type or MVNO value. in the MCC it’s 311 and MNC 480, APN type default, supl, APN protocol IPv4/IPv6, and APN roaming protocol is IPv4. can you tell… Read more »
You don’t need to access the one that is already there. Just make a new one so that you have two and enable it.
How do you add a new one? I have the same issue..
