I heard somewhere that you need to change the iPhone's APN thing to access the Vodafone network to go onto the internet. How do I do this?

Thanks in advance

After V2.1 on the _NZ_ Iphone , the APN is actually editable so you don't have to use unlockit.co.nz in NZ (well you can and donate) as the menu is there now to change it. Maybe my website was the reason why vodafone NZ change this settings after a whie :-)

saying that.. I get 30,000 Visitors (80,000 hits) per month from people going to the website so its really popular from other overseas people :-)

Thanks

I didn't really think it was the reason. :-). Why why did they change it for NZ and not for other countries. I presume it is the local carriers choice if the APN is editable or not as in NZ it wasn't editable at 1st , in AU 1 carrrier it is editable and another carrier it wasn't. in Canada its not editable yet. (ALOT of canadians use my website).

Thanks
