Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you changed operators, you cannot connect to the net or can not send pictures. If that is the case, It’s presumably because of the APN seted up on your Honor 9a. So we therefore decided to draft this post to solve this issue. We will 1st observe what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Honor 9a. Finally, we will see in what situations you need to change the APN on the Honor 9a.
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 9a to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An improperly configured APN may therefore prevent your Honor 9a 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 set up an APN on your Honor 9a
If you wish to set up an APN on your Honor 9a, you must go 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 lastly Access Point Names . Once you are there, you need to click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You will then access a form that you must fill in with the data of your operator. One example is, 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 quickly findable. You must do it again two times the procedure on your Honor 9a. In fact, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Honor 9a?
In most cases, you may not necessarily need to set up an APN on your Honor 9a as normally, this is done automatically. Nevertheless, there are a few situations that require the configuration of an APN on your Honor 9a. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Honor 9a 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.
