Once you have your Freedom Pop SIM card on your phone, you will need Access Point Name (APN) to connect to the internet using a 3G or 4G LTE network. These Access Point Names are unique to broadband service providers. APNs connect you to the service provider’s gateway which then connects users to the public internet.
To proceed with setting it up, please ensure that you are within network coverage and an active data plan. Once you set it up, restart your device so the settings can take effect.
