It may have happened to you when you travel abroad, or if you’ve changed operators, you can’t connect to the internet or can not send pictures.

We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Wiko View 2 . Finally, we will see in what situations you need to modify the APN on the Wiko View 2 .
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 View 2 to connect to the internet and receive MMS. An incorrectly seted up APN can so prevent your Wiko View 2 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You should know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
The right way to configure an APN on your Wiko View 2
When you want to set up an APN on your Wiko View 2 , you need 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 Access Point Names . When you are there, you must click on the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You will then access a form that you need to fill in with the data of your operator. For example, if you are at Vodafone , you must find the Vodafone APN data on the net and copy it into the form. Almost always, the APN of each operator are easily findable. You have to do it again two times the operation on your Wiko View 2 . In truth, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
