Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you have changed operators, you can’t connect to the net or can not send pictures. If that is the case, It’s presumably because of the APN seted up on your Meizu M3. So we decided to draft this article to fix this problem. We will first observe what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Meizu M3. Finally, we will see in which situations you need to modify the APN on the Meizu M3.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Meizu M3 to connect to the net and receive MMS. An improperly configured APN may therefore prevent your Meizu M3 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
The right way to configure an APN on your Meizu M3
If you desire to set up an APN on your Meizu M3, you will need to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to navigate to Advanced Settings and then finally Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you have to click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You may then access a form that you will 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 internet and copy it into the form. Almost always, the APN of each operator are very easily findable. You have to do it again 2 times the process on your Meizu M3. Indeed, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Meizu M3?
As a general rule, you do not automatically need to configure an APN on your Meizu M3 as it’s usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are several circumstances that require the configuration of an APN on your Meizu M3. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Meizu M3 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 consequently change your SIM card.
