Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you cannot connect to the net or can not send pictures. If that is the case, this is probably due to the APN configured on your Crosscall Odyssey. So we made the decision to draft this article to solve this problem. We will first discover what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Crosscall Odyssey. Finally, we will see in which situations you need to modify the APN on the Crosscall Odyssey.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Crosscall Odyssey to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN can so prevent your Crosscall Odyssey from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How to set up an APN on your Crosscall Odyssey
When you want to set up an APN on your Crosscall Odyssey, you need to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to go to Advanced Settings and then finally Access Point Names . Once you are there, you must select the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You will then access a form that you need to fill in with the data of your operator. One example is, if you are at Vodafone , you must find the Vodafone APN data on the internet and copy it into the form. Normally, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You must do it again twice the operation on your Crosscall Odyssey. Indeed, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Crosscall Odyssey?
Typically, you don’t necessarily need to set up an APN on your Crosscall Odyssey as it’s usually done automatically. However, there are a few cases that need the configuration of an APN on your Crosscall Odyssey. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Crosscall Odyssey and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This can also be the case if you are traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
