What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your CUBOT Dinosaur to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN can so prevent your CUBOT Dinosaur from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
The right way to configure an APN on your CUBOT Dinosaur
If you desire to set up an APN on your CUBOT Dinosaur, you need to go to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and ultimately Access Point Names . When you are there, you should click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You’ll then access a form that you need to fill in with the data of your operator. For example, if you are at Vodafone , you must find the Vodafone APN data on the net and copy it into the form. Normally, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You have to repeat two times the operation on your CUBOT Dinosaur. In fact, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.

This may also be the case if you are traveling abroad and consequently change your SIM card.
