Welcome to Android Central! No--VPN is Virtual Private Network, which is a way of logging into a private "intranet" remotely. APN is Access Point Name, which contains information that allows the phone to access your carrier's mobile internet.

Look here to see if your phone is compatible with Straight Talk: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ourOwnPhone%2Fcarrierselection&token=IHaEHIZ7
