Maybe it happened to you when you went abroad, or when you have changed operators, you cannot connect to the net or can not send MMS. If that is the case, it is probably because of the APN configured on your Crosscall Trekker-X4. So we made the decision to draft this post to solve this situation. We will first of all discover what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Crosscall Trekker-X4. Finally, we will see in which situations you must modify the APN on the Crosscall Trekker-X4.
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 Trekker-X4 to connect to the web and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN may therefore prevent your Crosscall Trekker-X4 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 Crosscall Trekker-X4
If you desire to set up an APN on your Crosscall Trekker-X4, you will 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 finally Access Point Names . When you are there, you must click 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. For example, if you are at Vodafone , you must find the Vodafone APN data on the internet and copy it into the form. Most of the time, the APN of each operator are very easily findable. You have to do it again two times the procedure on your Crosscall Trekker-X4. In fact, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Crosscall Trekker-X4?
Typically, you may not necessarily need to configure an APN on your Crosscall Trekker-X4 as this is usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are a few circumstances that need the setup of an APN on your Crosscall Trekker-X4. This is for example the case if you bought your used Crosscall Trekker-X4 and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This can also be the case if you are traveling abroad and consequently change your SIM card.
