Solved: If I want to change my iPhone APN settings is installing a profile from unlockit.co.nz safe?

[Hal~9000]

I want to change my APN settings to so I can use a data only sim card with my iPhone.

I've been told to use unlockit.co.nz for changing my iPhones APN but I'm curious... how safe is it?

On the website I clicked the APN settings I wanted and was prompted to install their profile on my phone to change the APN settings, but when I do my phone gives me a warning which says "The network traffic of your iPhone may be filtered or monitored by a cellular configuration" which sounds scary

Anyone use this website or APN profiles before? If so how do you know your data traffic / website logins aren't being snooped on? Also is there anyway (with an AT&T iPhone) I can change the APN myself so I don't have to install a profile I'm not sure of?

Thank you for your help

Just wanted to give an update in case anyone in the future might be wondering the same question I was earlier and they end up finding this thread via search looking for an answer:

I ended up being too much of a chicken to install a random profile on my phone that could potentially snoop on all my data so instead I simply looked up how I could make / install my own APN profile by using Apples own 'iPhone Configuration Utility' program.

• If you haven't already, download, install, and run the iPhone Configuration Utility from Apple.
• Go to Configuration Profiles under Library in the sidebar and then hit New in the toolbar.
• Under General (Mandatory) enter a name for the profile you're creating, and a unique identifier.
• Google your carrier's APN settings. Take note of them.
• Scroll all the way to the bottom and, under Advanced, fill in your carrier's APN info.
• Plug in your iPad or iPhone and then select it in the sidebar under Devices.
• Pick your profile and hit Install.
• Approve the installation on your iPhone or iPad.
• Start testing your apps on a working 3G network again!

As for what settings I put into the iPhone Configuration Utility I used AT&T's own APN guide and put in the following before installing it on my iPhone:

• General -> Name -> ATT Broadband
• General -> Identifier -> apn.settings
• APN -> Access Point Name (APN) -> ATT Broadband
• APN -> Access Point User Name -> broadband

This ended up working perfect and I got LTE within about 10-15 minutes (was simply 4g before that).

Hope this helps!
