It may have happened to you when you went abroad, or when you changed operators, you can not connect to the net or can not send pictures. If so, it’s probably because of the APN seted up on your Huawei Ascend Y330. So we therefore decided to draft this post to resolve this problem. We will first discover what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Huawei Ascend Y330. Finally, we will see in what situations you have to modify the APN on the Huawei Ascend Y330.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Huawei Ascend Y330 to connect to the web and receive MMS. An improperly configured APN can so prevent your Huawei Ascend Y330 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How you can configure an APN on your Huawei Ascend Y330
If you wish to configure an APN on your Huawei Ascend Y330, you must navigate to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You’ll have to go to Advanced Settings and then Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you have to click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You may then access a form that you must 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 net and copy it into the form. Most of the time, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You have to do it again two times the operation on your Huawei Ascend Y330. Certainly, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Huawei Ascend Y330?
Generally speaking, you may not always need to configure an APN on your Huawei Ascend Y330 as normally, this is done automatically.

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