The APN (Access Point Name) is actually the connection information to your network, nothing more and nothing less. They depend on your operator, and are usually configured automatically. But if you’re here because you’re not, because you have an access point error, here’s how to proceed.
Whatever your smartphone, the method is the same. On the Galaxy S4 or S4 Mini, or on the HTC One the names of the menus may differ somewhat, but the configuration of the access points themselves is identical.
Go to the settings of your Android smartphone, and click Plus…. > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
In this menu, you will probably see a list of operator names, sometimes there is no logic, I have already had Spanish operators for a smartphone bought new in France, with a French SIM card, etc.. In any case, the safest way to make sure your smartphone and APN work is to configure it manually.
Click on the menu button on your smartphone and then on New APN. One APN must be created for the Internet, and another for MMS.
The information to be entered in the different menus depends on your operator, by alphabetical order:

Note that there is an automatic configuration option at Bouygues and Free Mobile, but if it did not work when you inserted your SIM card, it is very likely that it will not work.
