Cellular

A cellular configuration sets up the cellular profile for a device. Configure the cellular network settings on devices running iOS 7.0 or later. 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.
