Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you cannot connect to the internet or can not send MMS.

We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your HTC Desire 620. Finally, we will see in which situations you must modify the APN on the HTC Desire 620.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your HTC Desire 620 to connect to the net and receive MMS. An improperly configured APN can thus prevent your HTC Desire 620 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
Tips on how to configure an APN on your HTC Desire 620
If you’d like to configure an APN on your HTC Desire 620, you will have to navigate 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 need to select the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You’ll then access a form that you will have to fill in with the data of your operator.

You must repeat two times the operation on your HTC Desire 620. Indeed, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your HTC Desire 620?
In general, you don’t automatically need to configure an APN on your HTC Desire 620 as it’s usually done automatically.
