We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Realme 3i. Finally, we will see in which situations you must modify the APN on the Realme 3i.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Realme 3i to connect to the net and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN may therefore prevent your Realme 3i from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
Tips on how to set up an APN on your Realme 3i
If you’d like to configure an APN on your Realme 3i, you will have to navigate to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and ultimately Access Point Names . When you are there, you must click the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose 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. Most of the time, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You have to do it again two times the process on your Realme 3i. Certainly, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Realme 3i?
Generally speaking, you do not necessarily need to set up an APN on your Realme 3i as this is usually done automatically. However, there are some circumstances that need the configuration of an APN on your Realme 3i.

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