APN Settings
Is there a way to change the APN settings on an AT&T 3g iPhone?
If so, how?
iPhone 3G, iOS 6.1.3, Model MC640LL/A
settings->mobile->mobile data

There is no 'mobile' or 'mobile data'; Only 'cellular' and 'cellular data' under settings and 'cellular data' is just an on/off button. I've been looking everywhere for something to open and access the APN settings to make a change, unless it can't be done.

The option to change the APN settings only appears on an unlocked iPhone when using an unsupported carrier that is NOT an MVNO of a supported GSM carrier.

Follow the directions on the right side of the screen. Connect your phone to a wifi and then visit this site using safari.Although the name sugests an unlock but all that this site does is simply ask you for your carrier and install that carriers APN settings
Phone, per AT&T was unlocked (so they say)... went through the unlockit.co.nz process, used T-Mobile sim instead of AT&T after getting carrier set and nothing for APN settings (to be able to change) appeared,
T-Mobile is a supported carrier. You will not have the option of changing the APN settings when using T-Mobile. The correct settings should already be in the phone.
What is the problem you're having that leads you to believe you need to change the APN settings?
Cannot get pictures through mms... struggled to get text alone to work and sometimes that seems sporadic.
Phone for calls and data seems to now work. (Attempt is to get it to mms text & pictures to work with satraighttalk!);
StraightTalk is NOT a supported GSM carrier. (they are a supported CDMA carrier) You'll have to work it out with them, buy a StraightTalk phone, or switch to a supported GSM carrier (T-Mobile or AT&T).
