Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you have changed operators, you cannot connect to the web or can not send MMS. If so, It’s presumably because of the APN configured on your Wiko Mazing. So we made the decision to write this article to resolve this situation. We will 1st observe what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Wiko Mazing. Finally, we will see in which situations it is necessary to change the APN on the Wiko Mazing.
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 Mazing to connect to the net and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN may therefore prevent your Wiko Mazing from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
The right way to set up an APN on your Wiko Mazing
When you want to set up an APN on your Wiko Mazing, you will have to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You’ll have to go to Advanced Settings and finally Access Point Names . Once you are there, you have to 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. For example, 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 need to do it again two times the process on your Wiko Mazing. Indeed, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Wiko Mazing?
Generally speaking, you will not automatically need to set up an APN on your Wiko Mazing as this is usually done automatically. However, there are a few circumstances that need the configuration of an APN on your Wiko Mazing. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Wiko Mazing and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This may also be the case if you are traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
