Things to Note About Using APN on iPad

  1. 1
    Wrong APN settings lead to zero functionality and may lead you to get charged on extra services
    .
    Therefore, if you are expecting to use the internet heavily, make sure that your APN settings are setup accordingly. In some cases, it may be best to have your service provider actually be the one to do the setting as they will know better what to set on your phone.
