Important Notes

After entering the new APN settings, make sure to save the configuration and select it as your default APN. If you're using an iPhone, be aware that iOS updates may reset your custom APN settings back to Verizon's defaults, requiring you to re-enter them.

If you encounter issues where APN settings are grayed out or unavailable, try resetting your network settings. On Android, you can usually find this option under Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

For hotspot and tethering functionality, use the same vzwinternet APN but set the APN Type to "dun" specifically for tethering purposes.

These updated Verizon APN settings work with both 4G LTE and 5G networks, ensuring you get the best possible connectivity and data speeds on Verizon's network.
