Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you have changed operators, you can not connect to the internet or can not send MMS. If that is the case, it is probably because of the APN seted up on your OnePlus 7T. So we made the decision to draft this article to fix this issue. We will initially see what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your OnePlus 7T. Finally, we will see in which situations you need to modify the APN on the OnePlus 7T.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your OnePlus 7T to connect to the net and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN can so prevent your OnePlus 7T 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 7T
If you’d like to set up an APN on your OnePlus 7T, you need to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to navigate to Advanced Settings and then Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you should click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You may then access a form that you need to 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 internet and copy it into the form. Most of the time, the APN of each operator are quickly findable. You have to repeat two times the process on your OnePlus 7T. Indeed, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your OnePlus 7T?
In general, you don’t necessarily need to set up an APN on your OnePlus 7T as this is usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are some situations that need the configuration of an APN on your OnePlus 7T. This is for example the case if you bought your used OnePlus 7T 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.
