Maybe it happened to you when you went abroad, or when you have changed operators, you can’t connect to the internet or can not send pictures. If so, it is probably because of the APN seted up on your HUAWEI P smart Z. So we made the decision to draft this article to solve this issue. We will initially discover what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your HUAWEI P smart Z. Finally, we will see in which situations you need to change the APN on the HUAWEI P smart Z.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your HUAWEI P smart Z to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN may therefore prevent your HUAWEI P smart Z 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 HUAWEI P smart Z
If you desire to set up an APN on your HUAWEI P smart Z, you must navigate to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and ultimately Access Point Names . When you are there, you need to select the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You’ll then access a form that you must fill in with the data of your operator. For example, if you are at Vodafone , you must find the Vodafone APN data on the net and copy it into the form. Almost always, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You must do it again two times the operation on your HUAWEI P smart Z. Certainly, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your HUAWEI P smart Z?
Generally, you will not always need to configure an APN on your HUAWEI P smart Z as normally, this is done automatically. Nevertheless, there are some situations that require the configuration of an APN on your HUAWEI P smart Z. This is for example the case if you purchased your used HUAWEI P smart Z 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 therefore change your SIM card.
