Anyone else found the latest "carrier settings" update allows you to change your APN!

That's AWESOME! Hadn't noticed it until reading this. That makes life easier when you're out and about and just want to switch it on for a short while. +1 for Voda/Apple (though it should have been there in the first place, imo)

Cheers

just put a fake APN into the settings for kicks and rebooted the phone (reset cell data connection) and I still get data ;)

Fantastic... it was only after the third attempt that it showed up.

Great news!

Did you also put in a garbled username and password.

Mine does not connect with garbage in fields.

Did anyone confirm the process to stop it from connecting?

I have tried changing the apn, username and password but it still connects...
