Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you cannot connect to the internet or can not send MMS. If that is the case, It’s presumably because of the APN configured on your Meizu M5 Note. So we decided to draft this post to fix this trouble. We will initially find out what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Meizu M5 Note. Finally, we will see in which situations you must change the APN on the Meizu M5 Note.
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 M5 Note to connect to the web and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN can thus prevent your Meizu M5 Note from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How to configure an APN on your Meizu M5 Note
When you want to configure an APN on your Meizu M5 Note, you will need to go 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 ultimately Access Point Names . Once you are there, you need to click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You will then access a form that you will need to 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 easily findable. You must do it again 2 times the procedure on your Meizu M5 Note. Certainly, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Meizu M5 Note?
In general, you do not automatically need to configure an APN on your Meizu M5 Note as it’s usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are a few cases that need the configuration of an APN on your Meizu M5 Note. This is for example the case if you bought your used Meizu M5 Note and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This may also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
