How To Use APNs On Sony Xperia Z
An APN (Access Point Name) is used to establish data connections between your Sony Xperia Z 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.
