Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you cannot connect to the net or can not send pictures. If so, It’s presumably because of the APN seted up on your Motorola Moto G5S. So we therefore decided to write this content to fix this situation. We will first of all discover what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Motorola Moto G5S. Finally, we will see in what situations you have to change the APN on the Motorola Moto G5S.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Motorola Moto G5S to connect to the web and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN can thus prevent your Motorola Moto G5S from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
The right way to set up an APN on your Motorola Moto G5S
If you wish to set up an APN on your Motorola Moto G5S, you will have to go to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and finally Access Point Names . Once you are there, you should select the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You will then access a form that you will have 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. Most of the time, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You have to repeat two times the procedure on your Motorola Moto G5S. Indeed, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Motorola Moto G5S?
In most cases, you don’t always need to set up an APN on your Motorola Moto G5S as it’s usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are a few situations that need the setup of an APN on your Motorola Moto G5S.
