Maybe it happened to you when you went abroad, or when you changed operators, you cannot connect to the internet or can not send MMS. If that is the case, It’s presumably because of the APN seted up on your Wiko VIEW PRIME. So we decided to write this content to resolve this situation. We will initially find out what a APN is.

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 VIEW PRIME to connect to the web and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN can thus prevent your Wiko VIEW PRIME from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How you can set up an APN on your Wiko VIEW PRIME
When you want to configure an APN on your Wiko VIEW PRIME, you will need to go to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to go to Advanced Settings and ultimately Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you have to select the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You may then access a form that you will need to fill in with the data of your operator.

This may also be the case if you are traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
