What is an APN

The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Lava Z93 to connect to the web and receive MMS. An improperly configured APN may therefore prevent your Lava Z93 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 Lava Z93, you will have to go 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 ultimately Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you must select the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN .
