Access Point Names (APN) are required for Bell network so you can access the internet via their 4G/LTE or 3G/HSPDA. APN settings contain the appropriate gateway setting for the service provider to connect you to the internet. APNs are unique to service providers and Bell isn’t an exception. Once you have the settings configured and you have Bell data plan and within their coverage, you can connect to the internet.
