What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Honor 70 to connect to the internet and receive MMS.

How you can set up an APN on your Honor 70
If you wish to configure an APN on your Honor 70, you need to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You’ll have to go to Advanced Settings and then finally Access Point Names . Once you are there, you need to select the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN .
