APN is the acronym for the expression in English Access Point Name, or what is the same, name of the access point. This information is essential for a device, be it a mobile phone or a modem, to be able to access the data network. Usually this setting is done automatically when you insert a SIM card. However, it may sometimes be necessary to define this value manually. How can you do it yourself?
