Maybe it happened to you when you went abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you can not connect to the net or can not send pictures. If that is the case, it is probably because of the APN configured on your Wiko JERRY. So we made the decision to draft this post to fix this trouble. We will first of all see what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Wiko JERRY. Finally, we will see in which situations you must change the APN on the Wiko JERRY.
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 JERRY to connect to the web and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN can so prevent your Wiko JERRY from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
Tips on how to configure an APN on your Wiko JERRY
When you want to configure an APN on your Wiko JERRY, you must go to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to navigate to Advanced Settings and then finally Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you need to select the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose 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. As a general rule, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You need to do it again two times the operation on your Wiko JERRY. Certainly, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Wiko JERRY?
Typically, you don’t necessarily need to configure an APN on your Wiko JERRY as normally, this is done automatically. Nevertheless, there are some cases that require the setup of an APN on your Wiko JERRY. This is for example the case if you bought your used Wiko JERRY and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This can also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and consequently change your SIM card.
