It is necessary to know how to configure the APN, as if you are travelling outside Spain or if your mobile data does not work correctly, you will have to change its configuration.
The steps for APN configuration vary from your mobile operator (Avatel, Lemonvil or Aire).
Depending on the writing that appears on the top left of your mobile phone on the lock screen, you can find out the corresponding operator:
Avatel → If it is written "MiOperador", your operator is Avatel, Movistar Nueva SIM coverage.
Aire Networks → If "Wifibytes" is written, your operator is Aire Networks, Movistar coverage.
Lemonvil → If "WifiB" is written, your operator is Lemonvil, Orange coverage.
