Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you have changed operators, you can’t connect to the net or can not send pictures. If so, it is probably because of the APN seted up on your Infinix S5. So we made the decision to draft this article to resolve this trouble. We will 1st find out what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Infinix S5. Finally, we will see in what situations you should modify the APN on the Infinix S5.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Infinix S5 to connect to the web and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN may therefore prevent your Infinix S5 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How you can configure an APN on your Infinix S5
If you’d like to set up an APN on your Infinix S5, you must navigate to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You’ll have to go to Advanced Settings and then finally Access Point Names . Once you are there, you should click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You will 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. Normally, the APN of each operator are very easily findable. You must repeat two times the operation on your Infinix S5. In fact, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Infinix S5?
Typically, you will not necessarily need to configure an APN on your Infinix S5 as this is usually done automatically. However, there are a few cases that need the configuration of an APN on your Infinix S5. This is for example the case if you bought your used Infinix S5 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 consequently change your SIM card.
