To update apn settings with Verizon phones enter the website ivzwentp.tracfone.com and install that profile
I tried that switch hack and that did not work for me. I’m using an iPhone 7
I have a ZTE and it runs on Verizon, but I don’t know if it was straight talk, trac phone, iwireless, or total wireless. I want to set it up straight talk bc I have the byop kit for it, but the phone has never been activated. what are my options?
The app has been removed from play store. Straight talk sent a link for the same app when i set up a new sim card, and it’s no longer there!
