Maybe it happened to you when you went abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you can not connect to the web or can not send pictures. If that is the case, it’s probably because of the APN configured on your Wiko S-Kool. So we therefore decided to write this article to resolve this situation. We will initially find out what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Wiko S-Kool. Finally, we will see in which situations you should modify the APN on the Wiko S-Kool.
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 S-Kool to connect to the web and receive MMS. An incorrectly configured APN may therefore prevent your Wiko S-Kool from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
How to set up an APN on your Wiko S-Kool
If you’d like to set up an APN on your Wiko S-Kool, you must navigate to the Settings menu. Once you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You will need to go to Advanced Settings and then Access Point Names . Once you are there, you must click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You will then access a form that you must fill in with the data of your operator.

You must repeat 2 times the procedure on your Wiko S-Kool. Indeed, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Wiko S-Kool?
In general, you don’t necessarily need to set up an APN on your Wiko S-Kool as normally, this is done automatically.
