What is an APN

The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your YU Yunicorn to connect to the net and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN may therefore prevent your YU Yunicorn from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.

The right way to configure an APN on your YU Yunicorn

If you want to set up an APN on your YU Yunicorn, you need to go to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and then Access Point Names . When you are there, you have to click the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You may then access a form that you need to 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. Most of the time, the APN of each operator are quickly findable. You have to repeat twice the operation on your YU Yunicorn. In fact, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.


In which case should you set up an APN on your YU Yunicorn?

Generally, you don’t always need to configure an APN on your YU Yunicorn as it’s usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are several circumstances that need the setup of an APN on your YU Yunicorn.

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