It may have happened to you when you went abroad, or when you have changed operators, you can not connect to the net or can not send pictures. If so, It’s presumably because of the APN seted up on your Honor 9X. So we made the decision to draft this article to fix this situation. We will first of all see what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Honor 9X. Finally, we will see in what situations you should change the APN on the Honor 9X.
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 9X to connect to the web and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN can so prevent your Honor 9X from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How to set up an APN on your Honor 9X
When you want to set up an APN on your Honor 9X, you will have to go to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to go to Advanced Settings and finally Access Point Names . When you are there, you must click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You may then access a form that you will have to 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 net and copy it into the form. Normally, the APN of each operator are very easily findable. You must repeat twice the procedure on your Honor 9X. 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 9X?
As a general rule, you will not necessarily need to set up an APN on your Honor 9X as normally, this is done automatically. However, there are some circumstances that require the setup of an APN on your Honor 9X.

This could also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and consequently change your SIM card.
