Carrier Settings Update w/ 7.0.3 update

i dont see the "cellular data network" under settings/cellular screen at all. made the mistake of updating 7.0.3 while abroad and cant get my sim to recognize at all on my unlocked phone. is there a way to manually update carrier settings, etc. in japan using bmobile data only card.

Has anyone received a message asking to update their carrier settings...? I use NET10 and updated my settings. Now it says TFW instead of HOME. I hope this means that you don't have to manually add carrier apn settings anymore for NET10!

I assume none of this Net10, APN, settings, carrier stuff applies to anyone with Verizon?

I am not experiencing any issues whatsoever not have to change any settings after the update other re entering my Apple ID password and some sort of apple id key chain.

Can't you use wifi to go to unlockit.co.nz and create a new APN?

yea, i tried that but it still says "no service". even reverted back to 7.0.2 and nothing. put in the old att sim card and it shows a network. put in the prepaid sim here and no service. this worked yesterday. the phone is unlocked. my wife's phone is locked and when you put in an "invalid sim" it won't activate the phone... kind of in a pickle here. having the internet sure cuts down on the whole getting lost time.

i do have the option of selecting various carriers if i turn off the "automatic" part of it searching. i cycled through all 4 and still "no service"

sorry to hijack the thread OP.

I'm still on 7.0.2 at the moment because I can't risk bricking my phone while away from home and O2 pushed a carrier update today.

Is there any way to find out what these carrier updates do?
 
4s now with ios7 and upgraded Straight Talk

I have updated my 4s to ios7. I use Straight Talk and to either jail-break my phone or download an apn app (unlockit.co.nz). To remove the apn app (unlockit.co.nz) I need a password. I no longer have any idea of what that password was/is. I have full back-ups of my iPhone on iTunes.

Can I erase my phone -- clean wipe my iPhone and restore it via iTunes without the apn (unlockit.co.nz) being reinstalled? Or, is there a way to get the unlockit.co.nz apn app off my iPhone without the password (it has a remove button, but then asks for a password to remove)?

I want to remove the apn app, so that I can use my iphone now with Straight Talk directly and have MMS etc, which the update allows.

Thanks in advance for help!
 
Vodafone UK pushed me a carrier settings update out last night to my Factory unlocked Apple Supplied 5S. It's now 15.6.

Do an "Erase all contents and settings", then set up as a new phone...

Yes, that is what I want to do, but the apn from unlockit.co.nz will not allow be to erase all contents and settings without the password, which I don't have. I have backed up my phone on iTunes, but now seem to be unable to reset the phone! What's the next step for me?

That I don't know unfortunately... Not sure how to get around the password...
 
Hi! I have an AT&T iPhone 4 with a straight talk sim chip. I just updated to 7.0.3, my data does not work, but now for the first time I can send and receive picture messages. I am not tech smart what so ever, so if anybody could please explain to me what I need to do to fix this problem that would be great! Thanks!

Do you have the new LTE SIM card or the older SIM card? I'm not positive on this model, but you may need to go under Settings>General>Profile and remove the APN profile that is installed.

I was just coming here to post a thread about this. I had the Straight Talk carrier update pushed to me before I even had a chance to update to iOS 7.0.3. It comes with data and MMS settings! No more need for unlockit.co.nz or T-Mobile SIM SWAP! Awesome! I have a locked 5S and can't use SIM swap... No more eBay unlocks either! I was so ready to leave ST and go to AIO Wireless so that I could have MMS. Then like magic... I get the notification for carrier update and viola... The carrier tag now says "TFW" and MMS/data work out of box! Loving my Unlimited Talk & Text and 2.5GB of data for only $42/mo with NO TAXES or regulatory fees!

Are you suppose to delete the apn unlock thing to get the internet to work without wifi?

Does anyone know if MMS would work on an iPhone 3GS with a new ST sim card? I ask because the 3GS can not be updated to iOS7.

Can anyone still on iOS 6 with a newer ST sim card confirm?
 
How I can update PRL file on my iphone 5 sprint ( ios 7.0.3)? it is very possible for me
 
I have an iPhone 4 16GB running iOS 7.0.3 and my Carrier value is AT&T 15.5. How do I get 15.6? I'm not currently on straight talk but am considering it.

Each carrier has their own updates, there simply really aren't any currently beyond 15.5 for different carriers like AT&T, Verizon, etc.
