Maybe it happened to you when you travel 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 presumably because of the APN configured on your Wiko Getaway. So we therefore decided to write this article to resolve this issue. We will first discover what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Wiko Getaway. Finally, we will see in what situations you need to change the APN on the Wiko Getaway.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Wiko Getaway to connect to the net and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN can thus prevent your Wiko Getaway 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 configure an APN on your Wiko Getaway
If you want to set up an APN on your Wiko Getaway, you will have to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and lastly 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 net and copy it into the form. Most of the time, the APN of each operator are very easily findable. You must do it again 2 times the process on your Wiko Getaway. In truth, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
