think (so could be wrong) that access to 'Cellular Data' settings is controlled by the carrier setting installed on your phone.

Which network are you using? I can vaguely remember noticing this option missing from iPhones using Orange UK.

I tried all what suggested .. not solved.
I don't have another SIM right now, but I removed the SIM .. not solved also!
Do you think guys I have to reset my iPhone to 4.0 as I received it?
Thanks all ..
Fact is, most carriers do not want you editing the APN settings, that's why the ability to do so is not there.
Guys,
i am also facing the same issue... i am from India and am using Aircel Network. Cellular data network was there when i started using my new unlocked iphone 4. but suddenly it got disappeared and now i cannot connect to internet. i tried restoring it to factory setttings still it remains the same.. kindly help me to fix this issue..
I had the same problem with an official carrier sim for my unlocked iphone4 from Apple. I get the "unable to connect to cellular data message". At first I thought that the sim was wrong. But I tried something else. I inserted a sim that allows me to edit the apn settings then once I got into the menu I removed and inserted the one that I wanted to use. I entered the apn settings and I WAS ABLE TO CONNECT to the internet. A funny way to solve my problem and I think Apple should let us enter apn settings since we bought an unlocked phone from them.
The sim I got was on a pay as you go plan. And I think that the sim itself does not contain any apn settings at all. The Iphone must connect to the ineternet in order to get that info but since you are not on a plan the carrier won't let you until it sees that you have the ability to pay for the data you use.

I hope you help me clarify, please see my problem described below and my question at the end.
I bought an UNLOCKED i-phone 4s DIRECTLY from the apple store where they assure me the phone was gonna be fully functional with any carrier BUT, I can't get MMS to work. I took it to the carrier and the tech told me this phone was LOCKED since the "Cellular Data Network" Tab was missing. How can I tell if my phone is actually unlocked? I talked to Apple customer service several times and they told me the carrier is supposed to configure the APN.
So, does it depends on the carrier OR on the fact that the phone is locked or not?
Appreciate it very much!
The missing "cellular data tab" has nothing to do with the iphone being unlocked or not...One way to find out if it's truly unlocked or not, would be to visit www.imei.info ...It will ask you to put your iphones' imei # and will give you info about your phone, such as if it's out warranty, sim locked (locked or unlocked) etc ..I assume that your carrier is At&t, At&t blocks this tab from appearing on purpose, to prevent people like you and me from editing the "apn settings" one way to get around this is to insert another carriers' sim card into your iphone (other than at&t) to access the missing tab, then inserting your simcard again...Another method would be to jailbreak your iphone...
Hello.
I have a similar issue on both my iPhone 4 & my iPad 1 (with latest iOS). I discovered that it can be solved simply by closing (quitting) the Settings app and then reopen it. I guess it is some bug in the software.
