What Is APN Settings 

APN stands for ‘Access Point Name’ and it is a common term that you are likely to come across. Although it sounds technical, an APN can simply be explained as settings for connecting to the gateway linking your device to the internet.

APN serves as a middleman between your device and the internet. Note that, if you have the incorrect APN settings, there’s no way you can access the internet.

When there is difficulty in connecting to the internet, it indicates something might be wrong and the APN is the first point of call you have to check to see whether your settings are correct or not.

When you can’t sort it out yourself, it’s prudent to reach out to an agent to assist you. Please note that APN settings are not just for Rain, it’s for every network
