It may have happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you have changed operators, you can’t connect to the web or can not send MMS. If so, this is probably due to the APN configured on your Vivo Y7s. So we made the decision to draft this article to resolve this trouble. We will initially see what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Vivo Y7s. Finally, we will see in which situations it is necessary to modify the APN on the Vivo Y7s.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Vivo Y7s to connect to the web and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN can thus prevent your Vivo Y7s from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You have to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How to configure an APN on your Vivo Y7s
When you want to configure an APN on your Vivo Y7s, you must go to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to navigate to Advanced Settings and then 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 may then access a form that you must 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. Normally, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You have to repeat two times the operation on your Vivo Y7s. In truth, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Vivo Y7s?
Generally speaking, you do not automatically need to configure an APN on your Vivo Y7s as it’s usually done automatically. However, there are several cases that require the configuration of an APN on your Vivo Y7s. This is for example the case if you bought your used Vivo Y7s and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This can also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and consequently change your SIM card.
