It may have happened to you when you travel abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you can not connect to the net or can not send MMS. If so, it is probably because of the APN seted up on your Meizu pro 7. So we therefore decided to draft this article to resolve this situation. We will initially see what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Meizu pro 7. Finally, we will see in what situations you have to modify the APN on the Meizu pro 7.
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 pro 7 to connect to the net and receive MMS. An improperly configured APN can thus prevent your Meizu pro 7 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
The right way to set up an APN on your Meizu pro 7
If you’d like to set up an APN on your Meizu pro 7, you must navigate to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to go to Advanced Settings and then finally Access Point Names . When you are there, you need to click the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose 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 very easily findable. You have to repeat twice the process on your Meizu pro 7. 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 pro 7?
In most cases, you will not automatically need to set up an APN on your Meizu pro 7 as this is usually done automatically. However, there are a few situations that need the configuration of an APN on your Meizu pro 7. This is for example the case if you bought your used Meizu pro 7 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.
