The APN is a setting on a mobile device to set up a connection to the gateway between the carrier’s cellular network and the public Internet. It is mostly pre-configured after the SIM is inserted. However, in some cases, it needs to be manually updated.
SureMDM helps the admin configure the APN settings of the devices remotely with a run script job. To do this, the first thing you’ll need to do is find the right APN settings for the network you want to use. You’ll be able to find these on the support pages on the carrier website.
