What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Lenovo Vibe B to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN may therefore prevent your Lenovo Vibe B from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.

If you want to configure an APN on your Lenovo Vibe B, you must go to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to go to Advanced Settings and then finally Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you must select the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You’ll 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.
