It may have happened to you when you went abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you cannot connect to the internet or can not send MMS. If so, It’s presumably because of the APN configured on your HUAWEI P30 Pro. So we therefore decided to draft this article to fix this situation. We will 1st see what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your HUAWEI P30 Pro. Finally, we will see in what situations you must change the APN on the HUAWEI P30 Pro.
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 P30 Pro to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN may therefore prevent your HUAWEI P30 Pro 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 set up an APN on your HUAWEI P30 Pro
If you desire to set up an APN on your HUAWEI P30 Pro, you need to go to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and ultimately Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you should select the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You will then access a form that you need 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 internet and copy it into the form. Most of the time, the APN of each operator are quickly findable. You must do it again twice the procedure on your HUAWEI P30 Pro. In fact, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your HUAWEI P30 Pro?
In general, you will not necessarily need to set up an APN on your HUAWEI P30 Pro as it’s usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are several situations that need the configuration of an APN on your HUAWEI P30 Pro. This is for example the case if you bought your used HUAWEI P30 Pro 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.
