It may have happened to you when you went abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you can not connect to the internet or can not send pictures. If so, it is probably because of the APN seted up on your Vivo Y9s. So we made the decision to draft this post to resolve this situation. We will first find out what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Vivo Y9s. Finally, we will see in what situations you must change the APN on the Vivo Y9s.
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 Y9s to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An improperly configured APN may therefore prevent your Vivo Y9s 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 Vivo Y9s
If you desire to set up an APN on your Vivo Y9s, you will have to go to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and then finally Access Point Names . When you are there, you must click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You may then access a form that you will have 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 internet and copy it into the form. Most of the time, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You must repeat twice the operation on your Vivo Y9s. Indeed, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Vivo Y9s?
Typically, you do not necessarily need to set up an APN on your Vivo Y9s as normally, this is done automatically. Nevertheless, there are some situations that require the setup of an APN on your Vivo Y9s. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Vivo Y9s and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This may also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and consequently change your SIM card.
