You will need Access Point Name (APN) to connect to the internet using a 3G or 4G LTE network once you have your Talk Talk SIM card on your phone. 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 are done setting it up, restart your device so as the settings can take effect. You do not need this in some circumstances.
