It may have happened to you when you went abroad, or when you have changed operators, you can’t connect to the internet or can not send MMS. If so, It’s presumably because of the APN seted up on your Wiko View lite. So we decided to draft this post to resolve this problem. We will first of all discover what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Wiko View lite. Finally, we will see in which situations it is necessary to change the APN on the Wiko View lite.
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 View lite to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN can so prevent your Wiko View lite from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How you can configure an APN on your Wiko View lite
If you wish to configure an APN on your Wiko View lite, 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 should click on 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. Almost always, the APN of each operator are very easily findable. You need to repeat twice the procedure on your Wiko View lite. 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 View lite?
In general, you will not necessarily need to configure an APN on your Wiko View lite as this is usually done automatically. However, there are several cases that require the setup of an APN on your Wiko View lite. This is for example the case if you bought your used Wiko View lite 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 consequently change your SIM card.
