Your Red Pocket APN depends on which network SIM you have
Red Pocket Mobile is unique because it offers service on all three major US networks: GSMA (AT&T), GSMT (T-Mobile), and CDMA (Verizon). The APN values are different for each network.
The APN you need is printed on your SIM card package or available in your Red Pocket account. This guide gives you the exact APN, MMSC, and MMS proxy for each network.
On most Red Pocket compatible phones the APN is pre-configured. If data works, no manual change is needed.
