It may have happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you have changed operators, you cannot connect to the internet or can not send pictures. If so, this is probably due to the APN seted up on your OPPO A74. So we decided to write this content to solve this trouble. We will first find out what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your OPPO A74. Finally, we will see in which situations you should modify the APN on the OPPO A74.
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 A74 to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN may therefore prevent your OPPO A74 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
Tips on how to set up an APN on your OPPO A74
If you’d like to set up an APN on your OPPO A74, you will have to go 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 ultimately Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you have to click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You will 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. Almost always, the APN of each operator are quickly findable. You have to repeat two times the process on your OPPO A74. Indeed, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your OPPO A74?
Generally speaking, you will not necessarily need to set up an APN on your OPPO A74 as this is usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are several circumstances that need the configuration of an APN on your OPPO A74. This is for example the case if you bought your used OPPO A74 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 therefore change your SIM card.
