Understanding StandUp Wireless and APN Basics
What is StandUp Wireless?
StandUp Wireless is a Lifeline and Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provider, offering free or discounted phone plans across the U.S. It operates on T-Mobile’s network, which means its APN settings align with T-Mobile’s infrastructure.
Why APN Settings Are Important
APN (Access Point Name) settings act as a bridge between your device and StandUp Wireless’s internet service. If these settings aren’t configured properly, your phone won’t know how to connect to mobile data.
