Troubleshooting
Common issues and solutions when configuring TruConnect APN settings.
- No internet on TruConnect phone
- Ensure the APN is set to 'wap.truconnect.com' and not a generic value. TruConnect has its own dedicated APN on the T-Mobile network. Toggle Airplane Mode on and off and wait 30 seconds. If the phone was recently activated, allow up to 24 hours for data service to fully provision.
- MMS not sending on TruConnect
- Verify the MMSC is 'http://mms.truconnect.com' with MMS Proxy '216.155.165.50' and port 8080. All three MMS fields must be correctly entered. Ensure mobile data is turned on because MMS requires a cellular data connection.
- TruConnect data stopped working
- Check your TruConnect account status. Lifeline service requires periodic re-certification. If your benefits have expired, contact TruConnect at 1-800-430-0443 to re-verify eligibility. Reset network settings and re-enter the APN if your account is confirmed active.
