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 is probably because of the APN configured on your Wiko Y62. So we decided to draft this post to fix this problem. We will 1st observe what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Wiko Y62. Finally, we will see in what situations you have to change the APN on the Wiko Y62.
What is an APN
The APN means Access Point Name. The APN therefore represents a set of connection data. This connection data allows your Wiko Y62 to connect to the web and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN may therefore prevent your Wiko Y62 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 Y62
If you’d like to set up an APN on your Wiko Y62, you must navigate to the Settings menu. When you are there, go to Network and Internet and Mobile Network . You’ll have to go to Advanced Settings and finally Access Point Names . When you are there, you need to select the three dots at the top right of the screen and choose New APN . You may then access a form that you must fill in with the data of your operator. For example, if you are at Vodafone , you must find the Vodafone APN data on the internet and copy it into the form. As a general rule, the APN of each operator are very easily findable. You have to do it again twice the procedure on your Wiko Y62. In fact, you will need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you set up an APN on your Wiko Y62?
Generally, you will not automatically need to set up an APN on your Wiko Y62 as this is usually done automatically. Nevertheless, there are several cases that need the configuration of an APN on your Wiko Y62. This is for example the case if you bought your used Wiko Y62 and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This may also be the case if you are traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
