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 Iggy to connect to the web and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN may therefore prevent your Wiko Iggy from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How you can set up an APN on your Wiko Iggy

You will need to go to Advanced Settings and then Access Point Names . When you are there, you should click the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You’ll then access a form that you 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.
