Internet and messaging settings
To send multimedia messages, or to access the Internet when there is no available
Wi-Fi® network, you must have a working mobile data connection with the correct
Internet and messaging settings. Here are some tips:
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 multimedia
messages right away.
In some cases, you get the option to download Internet and messaging settings the
first time you turn on your device when a SIM card is inserted. It is also possible to
download these settings later from the Settings menu.
You can manually add, change or delete Internet and messaging settings on your
device at any time. Contact your network operator for detailed information.
Sometimes you need to wait a while to have a working mobile data connection, especially
when the signal strength is weak and unstable. To increase the signal strength from your
mobile network, move to an open location free from obstructions or get close to a window.

The APN defines which type of IP address to use, which security methods to invoke,
