It may have happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you have changed operators, you can’t connect to the net or can not send MMS.

We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your LG Q7. Finally, we will see in which situations you must modify the APN on the LG Q7.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your LG Q7 to connect to the net and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN may therefore prevent your LG Q7 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How you can configure an APN on your LG Q7
When you want to set up an APN on your LG Q7, you will have to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and lastly Access Point Names . Once you are there, you should select the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You may then access a form that you will have to fill in with the data of your operator.

This can also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
