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 Xpower to connect to the net and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN can thus prevent your LG Xpower from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
Tips on how to configure an APN on your LG Xpower
If you’d like to configure an APN on your LG Xpower, you must go to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and finally Access Point Names . Once you’re 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 internet and copy it into the form.

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