TracFone 4G LTE APN Settings 2023: Comprehensive Guide
In this article, we will guide you through the process of setting up the TracFone APN on both Android and iPhone devices. This is crucial for resolving issues with cellular data and audiovisual communications on TracFone.
Android TracFone APN Settings
- Open the Settings app on your Android device.
- Tap SIM cards and mobile networks (or similar, depending on device).
- Select your TracFone SIM card.
- Tap Access Point Names.
- If necessary, tap Add new APN.
- Enter the following:
- Name: TracFone (or as desired)
- APN: tfdata or wap.tracfone.com
- Leave other fields as default/blank.
- Tap More or the menu button, then Save.

iPhone TracFone APN Settings

- Tap Mobile Data Network.
- Under the Mobile Data section, enter:

These settings enable TracFone's mobile data on both Android and iPhone for 3G, 4G, and 5G networks. Make sure to restart your device after saving to ensure the APN takes effect.
If problems persist, consider resetting network settings on your device and then re-entering the APN details. On Android smartphones, the option to reset APNs to their original settings can be found by hitting the three-dot menu and selecting "Reset APNs."
Please note that this guide does not address the process for custom APN Settings on Android, iPhone, and Microsoft devices when switching from another network operator. Also, when buying a device directly from TracFone, it is set to factory specifications for APN Settings. Custom APN Settings, when applied correctly, will work perfectly on TracFone devices.
APNs, or Access Point Names, are necessary for internet access on a TracFone device. On iPhone devices, accessing APN Settings can be difficult due to Apple's restrictions, unless the phone is hacked. On Android smartphones, it is possible to erase existing APN Settings while trying to add a new one.
Remember, if you're switching from another network operator, custom APN Settings can be used on Android, iPhone, and Microsoft devices.
