Maybe it happened to you when you went abroad, or when you changed operators, you can’t connect to the net or can not send pictures. If that is the case, it’s probably because of the APN seted up on your Neffos C7A. So we made the decision to write this article to resolve this problem. We will first of all observe what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Neffos C7A. Finally, we will see in what situations you must change the APN on the Neffos C7A.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Neffos C7A to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN can thus prevent your Neffos C7A from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How to set up an APN on your Neffos C7A
If you wish to configure an APN on your Neffos C7A, you will need to navigate 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 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. For example, if you are at Vodafone , you must find the Vodafone APN data on the internet and copy it into the form. As a general rule, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You have to repeat twice the process on your Neffos C7A. In truth, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Neffos C7A?
Generally, you do not necessarily need to set up an APN on your Neffos C7A as this is usually done automatically. However, there are several circumstances that require the setup of an APN on your Neffos C7A. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Neffos C7A and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This can also be the case if you are traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
