Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you changed operators, you can’t connect to the web or can not send MMS. If so, it is probably because of the APN configured on your HUAWEI P30 Pro. So we decided to draft this post to resolve this trouble. We will initially observe 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 configured APN can so prevent your HUAWEI P30 Pro from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
The right way to configure an APN on your HUAWEI P30 Pro
When you want to configure an APN on your HUAWEI P30 Pro, you need to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You’ll have to go to Advanced Settings and finally Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you must 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 net and copy it into the form. Normally, the APN of each operator are quickly findable. You must do it again two times the process on your HUAWEI P30 Pro. In truth, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your HUAWEI P30 Pro?
In most cases, you will not automatically need to configure an APN on your HUAWEI P30 Pro as it’s usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are several circumstances that need the configuration of an APN on your HUAWEI P30 Pro. This is for example the case if you purchased your used HUAWEI P30 Pro 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.
