Maybe it happened to you when you went abroad, or when you changed operators, you cannot connect to the internet or can not send pictures. If that is the case, It’s presumably because of the APN seted up on your Honor 5C. So we made the decision to write this article to fix this problem. We will 1st see what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Honor 5C. Finally, we will see in what situations you should modify the APN on the Honor 5C.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Honor 5C to connect to the net and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN can thus prevent your Honor 5C from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How to configure an APN on your Honor 5C
If you’d like to configure an APN on your Honor 5C, you will need to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and finally Access Point Names . Once you are there, you need to select the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You will then access a form that you will 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. Almost always, the APN of each operator are very easily findable. You must repeat twice the operation on your Honor 5C. Indeed, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Honor 5C?
As a general rule, you don’t always need to configure an APN on your Honor 5C as normally, this is done automatically. However, there are some situations that require the configuration of an APN on your Honor 5C. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Honor 5C and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This may also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and consequently change your SIM card.
