Maybe it happened to you when you went abroad, or when you have changed operators, you can’t connect to the web or can not send pictures. If so, this is probably due to the APN configured on your Neffos P1. So we therefore decided to draft this post to resolve this problem. We will first of all find out what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Neffos P1. Finally, we will see in which situations you should change the APN on the Neffos P1.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Neffos P1 to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN may therefore prevent your Neffos P1 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 P1
If you want to set up an APN on your Neffos P1, you must navigate to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and then finally Access Point Names . When you are there, you should click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You will then access a form that you must 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 net and copy it into the form. Almost always, the APN of each operator are quickly findable. You have to repeat twice the procedure on your Neffos P1. In truth, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Neffos P1?
Generally speaking, you do not necessarily need to set up an APN on your Neffos P1 as normally, this is done automatically. Nevertheless, there are some circumstances that require the setup of an APN on your Neffos P1. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Neffos P1 and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This could also be the case if you are traveling abroad and consequently change your SIM card.
