It may have happened to you when you went abroad, or when you changed operators, you can’t connect to the internet or can not send MMS.

We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Wiko Harry. Finally, we will see in what situations you must change the APN on the Wiko Harry.
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 Harry to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN may therefore prevent your Wiko Harry from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How to configure an APN on your Wiko Harry
If you wish to set up an APN on your Wiko Harry, you will have to go to the Settings menu. Once you’re there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You need to navigate to Advanced Settings and ultimately Access Point Names . Once you’re there, you have to select the three dots at the top right of the screen and select 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 net and copy it into the form. Most of the time, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You need to do it again 2 times the operation on your Wiko Harry. In fact, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Wiko Harry?
Typically, you will not necessarily need to configure an APN on your Wiko Harry as this is usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are a few situations that need the configuration of an APN on your Wiko Harry.

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