It may have happened to you when you travel abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you can not connect to the internet or can not send MMS. If so, this is probably due to the APN configured on your Meizu pro 7. So we decided to draft this post to resolve this issue. We will 1st discover what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Meizu pro 7. Finally, we will see in which situations you should modify the APN on the Meizu pro 7.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Meizu pro 7 to connect to the net and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN may therefore prevent your Meizu pro 7 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
The right way to configure an APN on your Meizu pro 7
If you desire to set up an APN on your Meizu pro 7, you must go to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You’ll have to go to Advanced Settings and ultimately Access Point Names . Once you are there, you have to click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You may 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. Normally, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You have to repeat twice the procedure on your Meizu pro 7. Indeed, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Meizu pro 7?
Typically, you do not necessarily need to configure an APN on your Meizu pro 7 as it’s usually done automatically. However, there are a few situations that require the setup of an APN on your Meizu pro 7. This is for example the case if you bought your used Meizu pro 7 and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This could also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
