If you’re using your own phone or switching from another provider, setting up your APN (Access Point Name) correctly is essential for internet and MMS to work smoothly on our GovFreePhone network.
This guide will walk you through how to manually configure your device, whether you’re using an Android phone or an iPhone.

Tap Save
π Restart your phone
Your phone should now be able to access mobile internet and send/receive picture messages using the GovFreePhone service.
π± iPhone APN Setup (iOS Devices)
For iPhones, the process is even simpler using our configuration profile.
π½ Step-by-Step:
- Download the APN Configuration Profile from GovFreePhone
- On your iPhone, go to Settings > Profile Downloaded

- Ensure mobile data is enabled
- Restart your phone after saving settings
