What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your OnePlus 6T to connect to the net and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN can thus prevent your OnePlus 6T from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
The right way to set up an APN on your OnePlus 6T
When you want to configure an APN on your OnePlus 6T, you need to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You’ll have to go to Advanced Settings and then finally Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you should click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN .
