How to Enter Mint Mobile APN Settings on iPhone and Android

Mint Mobile APN Settings

APN settings are required to get features such as group messaging, picture messaging, and cellular data. What are APN settings? APN stands for access point name, and these are the settings your smartphone uses to connect to the correct cellular network with the right configuration.

Most carriers configure the APN settings automatically the moment you activate your phone. However, some smaller carriers do not have this technology in place yet, and users are required to enter the settings manually.

Mint recently updated their system for iPhone users. If you're running iOS 12 or later, APN settings are configured automatically. Group messaging, picture messaging, and cellular data all work perfectly the moment you insert your SIM card into your phone. No additional configuration required.

However, if you are using an iPhone on an older iOS version, or you are using an Android phone, APN settings may still be required. Here are Mint's APN settings and how you can enter them on your device:
