Mobile data in the United States: what to know

3 of the 7 carriers here run their own network, and 4 rent space on one. Mint Mobile runs on T-Mobile, Cricket Wireless runs on AT&T, Visible runs on Verizon and Metro by T-Mobile runs on T-Mobile. A carrier that rents a network often has its own APN, so copy the one on its card, not the host's.

None of the carriers in the United States need a username or password. Leave both fields empty: typing one where none is needed can stop data from working.

All 7 carriers list separate settings for picture messages (MMS). If texts work but photos in messages do not, those are the values to check. AT&T, T-Mobile and Mint Mobile also have a second APN for some plans or devices, shown on their cards.

The carriers here use the mobile country codes 310 and 311, the first three digits of every network code in the United States. Android usually fills in the MCC and MNC from the SIM, so you rarely need to type them.

Visiting the United States with your own SIM? Keep your home APN: roaming data still goes through your home carrier. You only need these settings with a local SIM bought in the United States. Or skip the SIM shop with a United States eSIM, which sets its own APN.

How to change the APN

iPhone

Open Settings, then Mobile Data (Mobile Service or Cellular in some regions).
Tap Mobile Data Options (with two lines, tap the line first), then Mobile Data Network.
Type the APN, username and password into the Mobile Data section.
Go back. The change saves by itself.

No Mobile Data Network option? Your carrier locks it, and the iPhone sets the APN for you.

Android

Open Settings, then Network and internet (Connections on Samsung).
Tap SIMs or Mobile networks, pick your line, then Access Point Names.
Tap + or Add, and fill in the fields shown above for your carrier.
Save from the menu, then tap the new APN so it is selected.

Made a mess of it? Reset to default in the same menu brings the original settings back.

Still no data in the United States? Check these

Data and roaming on
Mobile data must be on, and airplane mode off. On a local SIM, data roaming can stay off.
The APN, letter for letter
For Verizon that is vzwinternet. One wrong dot or capital is enough to block data.
Username only if listed
No carrier here needs one. Clear the fields if an old value is still there.
Select it and restart
On Android, tap the entry so its dot is filled. Then restart the phone and open a website.

Calls and texts work, only data does not? That points to the APN, because calls and normal texts do not depend on it. If nothing works at all, the SIM itself may not be active yet: ask the shop or the carrier.

Which carriers in the United States need a username and password?+

None of the 7 carriers on this page need one. Leave the username and password fields blank.

Do I need to set an APN in the United States?+

Usually not. Your phone reads the APN from the SIM and sets it for you. You only need to add it by hand if mobile data does not work, often after moving a phone between networks or on an unlocked import.

I am visiting the United States. Should I change my APN?+

Not if you use your own SIM: roaming uses your home carrier's APN. You only need the settings on this page if you buy a local SIM from a carrier in the United States.

Will a wrong APN break my phone?+

No. At worst, mobile data or picture messages stop working until you fix it. On Android, Reset to default in the APN menu puts the carrier's own settings back.

Visiting the United States? Skip the local SIM

A travel eSIM installs before you fly and usually sets its own APN. Pay in crypto, no ID, no email.
