Cellular
A cellular configuration sets up the cellular profile for a device. Configure the cellular network settings on devices running with iOS 7.0+ or watchOS 10.0+. Some companies have contracts with their cellular operators that grant them access to a unique Access Point Name (APN) for remote network access or for special billing plans. Consult your cellular operator for configuration parameters.
-
No more than one cellular profile can be installed at any time.
-
A cellular profile cannot be installed if an APN profile is already installed.
You can configure cellular settings for the following APN types from the Configured APN Types dropdown box:
- Default & Data APNs
- Default APNs
- Data APNs
For all the configurations, enter a name that identifies the configuration and an optional description.
