Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you changed operators, you cannot connect to the internet or can not send pictures. If that is the case, It’s presumably because of the APN seted up on your Samsung Galaxy A70. So we therefore decided to draft this post to fix this issue. We will initially find out what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Samsung Galaxy A70. Finally, we will see in what situations you have to change the APN on the Samsung Galaxy A70.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Samsung Galaxy A70 to connect to the web and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN can thus prevent your Samsung Galaxy A70 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 Samsung Galaxy A70
If you want to set up an APN on your Samsung Galaxy A70, you must go to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You’ll have to go to Advanced Settings and lastly Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you should click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You will then access a form that you must 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 very easily findable. You must repeat two times the operation on your Samsung Galaxy A70. Indeed, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Samsung Galaxy A70?
As a general rule, you may not always need to set up an APN on your Samsung Galaxy A70 as normally, this is done automatically. Nevertheless, there are a few circumstances that need the setup of an APN on your Samsung Galaxy A70.

This may also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and consequently change your SIM card.
