Maybe it happened to you when you went abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you cannot connect to the web or can not send pictures. If that is the case, It’s likely because of the APN configured on your Mi 9T. So we made the decision to write this content 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 Mi 9T. Finally, we will see in which situations it is necessary to modify the APN on the Mi 9T.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Mi 9T to connect to the net and receive MMS. An improperly configured APN may therefore prevent your Mi 9T from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How you can set up an APN on your Mi 9T
If you desire to set up an APN on your Mi 9T, you will need to go 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 have to click the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose 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. Almost always, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You must repeat 2 times the process on your Mi 9T. 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 Mi 9T?
As a general rule, you may not always need to set up an APN on your Mi 9T as this is usually done automatically. However, there are a few cases that need the configuration of an APN on your Mi 9T. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Mi 9T 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 consequently change your SIM card.
