Internet and messaging settings
To access the Internet and to send multimedia messages, you must have a mobile
data connection and the correct settings, also known as APN (Access Point Name)
settings. The APN identifies the network that a mobile device can connect to.
You can usually download Internet and messaging settings when you set up your
device for the first time with a SIM card inserted. In other cases, the settings may be
pre-installed. If not, you can download or add the settings manually. Contact your
network operator for detailed information about Internet and messaging settings.
If you cannot access the Internet, have no data connection, or cannot send or receive
multimedia messages, try deleting all Internet and messaging settings and then add them
again.
