It may have happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you have changed operators, you can not connect to the net or can not send pictures. If that is the case, it’s probably because of the APN seted up on your Moto E6s. So we made the decision to draft this post to solve this problem. We will first of all discover what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Moto E6s. Finally, we will see in which situations you must change the APN on the Moto E6s.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Moto E6s to connect to the net and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN may therefore prevent your Moto E6s from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
The right way to set up an APN on your Moto E6s
If you desire to set up an APN on your Moto E6s, you need to go to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and ultimately Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you have to select the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You will then access a form that you 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 internet and copy it into the form. Normally, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You must do it again two times the process on your Moto E6s. 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 Moto E6s?
In general, you will not always need to set up an APN on your Moto E6s as it’s usually done automatically. However, there are a few circumstances that require the configuration of an APN on your Moto E6s. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Moto E6s and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This may also be the case if you are traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
