It may have happened to you when you went abroad, or when you have changed operators, you cannot connect to the internet or can not send pictures. If that is the case, it’s probably because of the APN seted up on your Blackview BV4900. So we made the decision to write this content to solve this problem. We will first of all observe what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Blackview BV4900. Finally, we will see in which situations you have to modify the APN on the Blackview BV4900.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Blackview BV4900 to connect to the net and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN may therefore prevent your Blackview BV4900 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How to configure an APN on your Blackview BV4900
If you’d like to set up an APN on your Blackview BV4900, you must 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 ultimately Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you must click the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You’ll then access a form that you must 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.
