What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Crosscall action X5 to connect to the net and receive MMS. An improperly configured APN can thus prevent your Crosscall action X5 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How to configure an APN on your Crosscall action X5
If you desire to set up an APN on your Crosscall action X5, you need to go to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You’ll have to go to Advanced Settings and ultimately Access Point Names . When you are there, you need to select the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You will then access a form that you need to fill in with the data of your operator.
