Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you changed operators, you can’t connect to the web or can not send pictures. If so, this is probably due to the APN seted up on your Wiko ROBBY. So we decided to draft this post to fix this trouble. We will initially discover what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Wiko ROBBY. Finally, we will see in which situations you have to modify the APN on the Wiko ROBBY.
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 ROBBY to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN can thus prevent your Wiko ROBBY 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 ROBBY
If you wish to set up an APN on your Wiko ROBBY, you need to go to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You’ll have to go to Advanced Settings and lastly 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 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 net and copy it into the form. Normally, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You must repeat twice the process on your Wiko ROBBY. In truth, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Wiko ROBBY?
In general, you will not always need to set up an APN on your Wiko ROBBY as it’s usually done automatically. However, there are several circumstances that require the setup of an APN on your Wiko ROBBY. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Wiko ROBBY and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This could also be the case if you are traveling abroad and consequently change your SIM card.
