Maybe it happened to you when you went abroad, or when you have changed operators, you can not connect to the web or can not send pictures. If that is the case, It’s likely because of the APN seted up on your Meizu 16T. So we therefore decided to draft this article to resolve this issue. We will first observe what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Meizu 16T. Finally, we will see in which situations you have to modify the APN on the Meizu 16T.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Meizu 16T to connect to the web and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN can thus prevent your Meizu 16T from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
Tips on how to configure an APN on your Meizu 16T
If you’d like to set up an APN on your Meizu 16T, you must navigate to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and finally Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you need to click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You may then access a form that you must 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. Most of the time, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You have to repeat 2 times the operation on your Meizu 16T. In fact, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Meizu 16T?
Generally, you will not automatically need to configure an APN on your Meizu 16T as it’s usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are several situations that need the configuration of an APN on your Meizu 16T. This is for example the case if you bought your used Meizu 16T and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This can also be the case if you are traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
