It may have happened to you when you went abroad, or if you’ve 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 Wiko Goa. So we therefore decided to write this content to resolve this trouble. We will 1st observe what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Wiko Goa. Finally, we will see in what situations you need to change the APN on the Wiko Goa.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Wiko Goa to connect to the web and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN may therefore prevent your Wiko Goa from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How to set up an APN on your Wiko Goa
When you want to configure an APN on your Wiko Goa, you will need to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to go to Advanced Settings and finally Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you need to click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You’ll 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. Almost always, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You must repeat two times the operation on your Wiko Goa. In fact, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Wiko Goa?
Generally, you may not automatically need to set up an APN on your Wiko Goa as this is usually done automatically. However, there are a few situations that require the setup of an APN on your Wiko Goa. This is for example the case if you bought your used Wiko Goa 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.
