Internet and messaging settings

To send text and multimedia messages and to access the Internet, you must have a
mobile data connection and the correct settings. There are different ways to get
these settings:
• For most mobile networks and operators, Internet and messaging settings come pre-
installed on your device. You can then start using the Internet and send messages
right away.
• In some cases you will get the option to download Internet and messaging settings
the first time you turn on your device. It is also possible to download these settings
later from the Settings menu.
• You can manually add and change Internet and network settings on your device at
any time. Contact your network operator for detailed information about Internet and
messaging settings.
If you are using a device with multiple users, only the owner, that is, the primary user, can
download Internet and messaging settings from the Settings menu, but the downloaded
settings are applicable to all users.

Access Point Names (APNs)
An APN is used to establish data connections between your device and the Internet.
The APN defines which type of IP address to use, which security methods to invoke,
and which fixed-end connections to use. Checking the APN is useful when you
cannot access the Internet, have no data connection, or cannot send or receive
multimedia messages.
If you are using a device with multiple users, only the owner, that is, the primary user, can set
or check APNs, but the settings made by the owner affect all other users.
To view the current APN

If you have several available connections, the active network connection is indicated by a
marked button.
