What is an APN

The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your OPPO A54 to connect to the web and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN can thus prevent your OPPO A54 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 configure an APN on your OPPO A54

If you want to set up an APN on your OPPO A54, you need to go to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to go 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 choose New APN . You’ll 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. Most of the time, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You must repeat two times the procedure on your OPPO A54. In truth, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.


In which case should you set up an APN on your OPPO A54?

In general, you don’t necessarily need to configure an APN on your OPPO A54 as this is usually done automatically.

This may also be the case if you are traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
