Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you changed operators, you cannot connect to the internet or can not send pictures. If so, It’s likely because of the APN seted up on your OnePlus N10. So we made the decision to draft this post to resolve this issue. We will 1st observe what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your OnePlus N10. Finally, we will see in which situations you should modify the APN on the OnePlus N10.
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 N10 to connect to the web and receive MMS. An improperly configured APN may therefore prevent your OnePlus N10 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
The right way to configure an APN on your OnePlus N10
If you want to set up an APN on your OnePlus N10, you will have to go 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 lastly Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you need to click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You’ll then access a form that you will have 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. Normally, the APN of each operator are very easily findable. You must repeat twice the process on your OnePlus N10. Certainly, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your OnePlus N10?
In most cases, you will not automatically need to configure an APN on your OnePlus N10 as this is usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are several cases that require the setup of an APN on your OnePlus N10. This is for example the case if you purchased your used OnePlus N10 and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This can also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
