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 Y7p to connect to the web and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN can so prevent your Huawei Y7p from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.

If you desire to set up an APN on your Huawei Y7p, you need to go to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to navigate to Advanced Settings and then Access Point Names . When you are there, you have to click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN .
