Q: Attempting to set APN on iPhone4 - 'network' is not a listed option after selecting settings>general.

All:

 

Recently moved my cell phone service from AT&T.  Successfully unlocked the phone, however, The phone is not connected to the Internet.  Believe the APN needs to be re-set?  Per the above, after selecting Settings>General, the 'network' option is not listed.  Any suggestions?

 

Many thanks!,

iPhone 4

    AT&T and T-Mobile are the only supported GSM carriers in the US. If you're using someone else, like StraightTalk or Net10, you'll have to work it out with them.

     

    Both of them piggyback on AT&T/T-Mobile networks. Since the iPhone sees what it believes is a supported network, it will not allow you to change the settings.
