It may have happened to you when you went abroad, or when you changed operators, you can’t connect to the web or can not send MMS. If so, it’s probably because of the APN configured on your LG G7 ThinQ. So we decided to draft this post to fix this situation. We will initially observe what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your LG G7 ThinQ. Finally, we will see in what situations you need to change the APN on the LG G7 ThinQ.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your LG G7 ThinQ to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN can thus prevent your LG G7 ThinQ from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How to configure an APN on your LG G7 ThinQ
If you wish to set up an APN on your LG G7 ThinQ, you 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 then Access Point Names . Once you are there, you should select the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You’ll then access a form that you need to 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. Almost always, the APN of each operator are quickly findable. You need to do it again 2 times the operation on your LG G7 ThinQ. In truth, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your LG G7 ThinQ?
As a general rule, you don’t always need to configure an APN on your LG G7 ThinQ as normally, this is done automatically. However, there are a few circumstances that require the configuration of an APN on your LG G7 ThinQ. This is for example the case if you purchased your used LG G7 ThinQ and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This can also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
