Well, an APN or Access Point Name they are a set of information that routes your smartphone to the correct mobile internet setting server, in this case it is routing you to the tmobile APN settings server. These T MOBILE apn settings usually include a list of values such as: Name, APN, username, password, server, etc. They are only valid for the specific carrier in that specific country, in other words, the T-Mobile APN settings here provided is only for the United States (USA)

Thanks for the help, its working for me.
This helped me in 2016. Thanks for the article!
On my OnePlus One android phone, I found the APN settings under Settings > Cellular networks > Access Point Names.
I was having issues using cellular data after the latest Cyanogenmod OS update, and I’m guessing it must have switched the default APN. Now things are good again!
good to know Emi, enjoy T-Mobile servicE!
This is wrong! Should be fast.t-mobile.com
the FAST option is for LTE, that’s why I put both versions up there
What does this mean: for some samsung devices select internet+MMS?
Do I the “internet+MMS”.
yes, there should be a radio button that says Internet+MMS, if there isnt any, then manually type in default,mms
I am unable to download pictures in my messages. My APN type currently is default. So I should change the setting to “internet+MMS. Currently this is not there so I will have to add it?
Hi, yes, or put default,mms
