Default: *99***1#
The dial string given by the wireless provider to connect to the access point name
The Access Point Name (APN) is necessary only on GPRS networks (Edge or HSPA). It is the name
of the cellular network access point which provides a gateway to the Internet. This information will be
provided by the wireless network when you register for data service. This field is not used for CDMA
modems.
The Dial string is a special command to be sent by the cellular modem to the cellular network to establish
a data connection. For example, for GSM/GPRS networks, this is typically: *99***1#. This command
will depend on the wireless network. Please consult the wireless network operator for the correct dial
string command for data service. A regular telephone number is usually not required to connect to a
GSM/GPRS network.
