Maybe it happened to you when you went abroad, or when you have changed operators, you can not connect to the net or can not send MMS. If so, It’s presumably because of the APN seted up on your Honor 50. So we decided to draft this post to solve this problem. We will first of all find out what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Honor 50. Finally, we will see in which situations you have to modify the APN on the Honor 50.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Honor 50 to connect to the net and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN may therefore prevent your Honor 50 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
The right way to configure an APN on your Honor 50
If you wish to set up an APN on your Honor 50, you will have to navigate 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 lastly Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you have to select 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 internet and copy it into the form. Normally, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You need to repeat two times the process on your Honor 50. Indeed, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Honor 50?
In general, you may not automatically need to configure an APN on your Honor 50 as it’s usually done automatically. However, there are several cases that need the configuration of an APN on your Honor 50. This is for example the case if you bought your used Honor 50 and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This may also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and consequently change your SIM card.
