Cellular Payload

Template

A cellular payload configures cellular network settings on the device. It is not supported on macOS. On iOS 7 and later, a cellular payload is designated by specifying com.apple.cellular as the PayloadType value.

Cellular payloads have two important installation requirements:

  • No more than one cellular payload can be installed at any time.
  • A cellular payload cannot be installed if an APN payload is already installed.

This payload replaces the com.apple.managedCarrier payload, which is supported, but deprecated.

  • Supersedes com.apple.apn.managed (APN) which is used on iOS 6 and earlier.
  • Supersedes com.apple.managedCarrier
