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 MMS. If that is the case, It’s likely because of the APN seted up on your Neffos N1. So we therefore decided to draft this article to solve this problem. We will 1st find out what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Neffos N1. Finally, we will see in what situations you should change the APN on the Neffos N1.
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 N1 to connect to the web and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN may therefore prevent your Neffos N1 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How you can set up an APN on your Neffos N1
If you’d like to configure an APN on your Neffos N1, you need to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to go to Advanced Settings and then Access Point Names . Once you are there, you should click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You may then access a form that you 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 must repeat twice the process on your Neffos N1. Certainly, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Neffos N1?
Generally speaking, you don’t necessarily need to set up an APN on your Neffos N1 as it’s usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are several situations that require the configuration of an APN on your Neffos N1. This is for example the case if you bought your used Neffos N1 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.
