Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you can’t connect to the web or can not send pictures.

We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Nokia 105. Finally, we will see in which situations it is necessary to modify the APN on the Nokia 105.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Nokia 105 to connect to the net and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN can thus prevent your Nokia 105 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How you can set up an APN on your Nokia 105
If you wish to configure an APN on your Nokia 105, you will have to 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 Access Point Names . When you are there, you must select the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You’ll then access a form that you will have to fill in with the data of your operator.

In which case should you configure an APN on your Nokia 105?
Generally speaking, you will not always need to set up an APN on your Nokia 105 as it’s usually done automatically.
