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 M30s to connect to the web and receive MMS.

How you can configure an APN on your Samsung Galaxy M30s
If you’d like to configure an APN on your Samsung Galaxy M30s, you will have to navigate to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network .
