What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Vertu Constellation X to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN may therefore prevent your Vertu Constellation X from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.

If you want to configure an APN on your Vertu Constellation X, you must go to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You’ll have to go to Advanced Settings and then finally Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you should select the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN .
