Configure PosteMobile: Have you recently activated a PosteMobile SIM but are unable to surf the Internet? Have you switched to PosteMobile with your mobile phone but since you changed the operator are you no longer able to view MMS? Don’t despair. Maybe you are experiencing a trivial APN configuration problem.
An acronym for Access Point Name, APNs are the access points that smartphones and other mobile devices use to connect to the 3G / 4G network and manage MMS.
Without these “coordinates” it is not possible to access the services offered by the various mobile telephone operators and, therefore, it is not possible to access the Internet via the data network and it is not possible to view the MMS.
To solve the problem, you need to enter the configuration panel of your device, check the APNs currently set and, if necessary, change them with those provided by PosteMobile. Which ones are they? I’ll explain it to you right away.
If you give me five minutes of your time, I’ll tell you step by step everything you need to do. Come on, take your device and find out how to configure PosteMobile thanks to the instructions I’m about to give you.
