It may have happened to you when you went abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you can’t connect to the net or can not send pictures. If that is the case, it is probably because of the APN seted up on your Wiko Barry. So we therefore decided to draft this article to resolve this situation. We will first of all observe what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Wiko Barry. Finally, we will see in what situations you have to change the APN on the Wiko Barry.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN consequently represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Wiko Barry to connect to the net and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN can thus prevent your Wiko Barry from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How you can configure an APN on your Wiko Barry
If you’d like to configure an APN on your Wiko Barry, you will have to navigate to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to go to Advanced Settings and ultimately Access Point Names . When you are there, you should select 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. One example is, if you are at Vodafone , you must find the Vodafone APN data on the net and copy it into the form. As a general rule, the APN of each operator are very easily findable. You must repeat twice the procedure on your Wiko Barry. Certainly, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Wiko Barry?
As a general rule, you may not necessarily need to configure an APN on your Wiko Barry as this is usually done automatically. However, there are a few situations that require the setup of an APN on your Wiko Barry. This is for example the case if you purchased your used Wiko Barry 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.
