Root Working Sprint Prepaid APN Settings

[niteryder]

Lot's for articles exist for Sprint APN settings, but most are for postpaid accounts. I was finally able to figure out the APN setting for prepaid. Why is this useful? Well, if you flash CM12 or a something similar, you need to configure the APN for LTE and MMS. With that said, the built-in messaging app with CM12 does not work for MMS, so just use hangouts or another app from the Play Store.

APN:

Name: Sprint
APN: n.sprpre.ispsn
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
Username: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server: Not Set
MMSC: http://mmsc.vmobl.com:8088
MMS Proxy: 68.28.31.2
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310 (don't try to change, the apn will delete itself otherwise)
MNC: 120 (don;t try to change, the apn will delete itself otherwise)
Auth Type: Not Set
APN Type: default,mms
APN Protocol: IP4/IP6

So is this confirmed working for 4G/LTE on ROM's like CM12.1 that break the LTE?

Yes

this didn't work for me. I'm wondering if I have a buggy model, I might talk to Sprint about getting a replacement maybe.

Sprint sent me a brand new one for $20 a couple weeks ago

My first volt, u could not get lte to save my life. I went and got a new one, settings worked the first time.

Sadly, I move on to a different phone since.

I just noticed that I did a typo to the APN listed above. Oops, now its fixed. n.sprpre.ispsn

I believe MMSC is wrong for Sprint it's http://mms.sprintpcs.com/servlets/mms. I believe the one that is there is for Virgin Mobile
