Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you have changed operators, you can not connect to the web or can not send pictures. If that is the case, it’s probably because of the APN seted up on your OPPO Reno6. So we decided to draft this post to resolve this issue. We will initially see what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your OPPO Reno6. Finally, we will see in which situations you have to change the APN on the OPPO Reno6.
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 Reno6 to connect to the web and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN can so prevent your OPPO Reno6 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 OPPO Reno6
If you desire to set up an APN on your OPPO Reno6, you will need to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and ultimately Access Point Names . Once you are there, you have to click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You’ll then access a form that you will 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 net and copy it into the form. Almost always, the APN of each operator are quickly findable. You must do it again twice the procedure on your OPPO Reno6. 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 Reno6?
Generally speaking, you do not necessarily need to configure an APN on your OPPO Reno6 as normally, this is done automatically. However, there are several circumstances that need the configuration of an APN on your OPPO Reno6. This is for example the case if you bought your used OPPO Reno6 and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This could also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
