Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you cannot connect to the internet or can not send MMS. If that is the case, It’s likely because of the APN seted up on your Oppo F1. So we made the decision to write this content to fix this trouble. We will initially discover what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Oppo F1. Finally, we will see in what situations you need to modify the APN on the Oppo F1.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Oppo F1 to connect to the net and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN may therefore prevent your Oppo F1 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 Oppo F1
If you desire to configure an APN on your Oppo F1, you need to go to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and then finally Access Point Names . When you are there, you need to click the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You will 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 net and copy it into the form. Most of the time, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You must repeat 2 times the process on your Oppo F1. Indeed, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Oppo F1?
Generally, you will not necessarily need to set up an APN on your Oppo F1 as it’s usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are a few situations that require the configuration of an APN on your Oppo F1. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Oppo F1 and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This could also be the case if you are traveling abroad and consequently change your SIM card.
