What is an APN, and Why Does It Matter for Claro?
APN (Access Point Name) is a set of Configurations Setting that your device uses to connect to Claro’s mobile data and MMS services.
Without the correct APN:
- Your phone won’t be able to connect to mobile data, even if your plan includes it.
- MMS (multimedia messages) may not send or receive correctly.
- Internet speeds may be slow or inconsistent.
Claro operates in multiple countries, and each region may have slight variations in its APN settings. Manually configuring your APN ensures a stable connection and faster speeds.
