Maybe it happened to you when you travel abroad, or when you changed operators, you cannot connect to the web or can not send MMS. If so, it is probably because of the APN seted up on your Wiko Y80. So we made the decision to draft this article to solve this problem. We will initially find out what a APN is. We will see in a second time how to configure an APN on your Wiko Y80. Finally, we will see in which situations you should change the APN on the Wiko Y80.
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 Y80 to connect to the net and receive MMS. An improperly seted up APN can so prevent your Wiko Y80 from receiving MMS or connecting to the internet. You need to know that each operator has a different APN of their own.
The right way to set up an APN on your Wiko Y80
If you desire to configure an APN on your Wiko Y80, 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 navigate to Advanced Settings and then finally Access Point Names . When you are there, you have to click the three dots at the top right of the screen and select New APN . You’ll then access a form that you will have 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. As a general rule, the APN of each operator are very easily findable. You need to repeat 2 times the operation on your Wiko Y80. Indeed, you need an APN for internet and an APN for MMS.
In which case should you configure an APN on your Wiko Y80?
In most cases, you will not always need to set up an APN on your Wiko Y80 as it’s usually done automatically. However, there are some cases that need the setup of an APN on your Wiko Y80. This is for example the case if you bought your used Wiko Y80 and that the person who sold it to you was with a different operator than yours. This could also be the case if you’re traveling abroad and therefore change your SIM card.
