What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your BlackBerry KEYone to connect to the net and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN may therefore prevent your BlackBerry KEYone 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 set up an APN on your BlackBerry KEYone
If you desire to set up an APN on your BlackBerry KEYone, you will need to navigate to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and ultimately Access Point Names . When you are there, you should click on 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’re traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
