What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Honor 6A to connect to the web and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN can so prevent your Honor 6A 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 6A
When you want to set up an APN on your Honor 6A, you must go to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to navigate to Advanced Settings and then Access Point Names . When you are there, you need to click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You will then access a form that you must 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.

Typically, you do not automatically need to configure an APN on your Honor 6A as it’s usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are some cases that need the configuration of an APN on your Honor 6A.

This could also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
