It may have happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you changed operators, you can not connect to the web or can not send MMS. If that is the case, It’s presumably because of the APN configured on your Blackview BV6900. So we therefore decided to draft this post to resolve this trouble. We will initially discover what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Blackview BV6900. Finally, we will see in which situations it is necessary to modify the APN on the Blackview BV6900.
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 BV6900 to connect to the web and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN may therefore prevent your Blackview BV6900 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How you can configure an APN on your Blackview BV6900
If you’d like to configure an APN on your Blackview BV6900, you will have to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and then finally Access Point Names . Once you are there, you must click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You will then access a form that you will have 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 net and copy it into the form. Almost always, the APN of each operator are quickly findable. You have to do it again two times the process on your Blackview BV6900. In truth, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Blackview BV6900?
As a general rule, you may not always need to configure an APN on your Blackview BV6900 as this is usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are a few cases that need the setup of an APN on your Blackview BV6900. This is for example the case if you bought your used Blackview BV6900 and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This can also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
