Is VPN the same as APN settings on an iPhone 5?

My iPhone 5 on Straight Talk has VPN settings instead of APN. I want to have Internet and MMS on my phone, but I don't know if the VPN and APN are the same! Please help! Also, if you know, what are the Straight Talk APN/VPN settings if they're the same thing?

No. Apn and vpn are totally different things. APN is Access Point Name which is source that provides you packet data. But VPN is virtualy private network thats a bit complicated part, has diff sett. And doesn't matter for a civilian. We only need internet and thats duty of APN. You may conf. It by lookin from www.unlockit.co.nz/mobilesettings/settin…

No APN and VPN are different.

  • What should my APN settings be? I have an unlocked AT&T iPhone 4 on the Straight Talk plan. I've changed my APN settings, and everything works except sending pictures to non iPhone users. I can send texts to them, but not pictures. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Let me know, thank you!
