Having issues with your APN settings under iOS 5 beta 7? Here’s a work around:
It would seem that Apple have removed the ability to change the APN settings in iOS 5 beta 7 for non-official carriers.

Personally I believe it is a bug as Apple sell the iPhone to use on “the carrier of your choice” when buying from the online store, so they are surely required to make sure you can use it properly (hence the reason it was allowed in the past).
In the meantime if you need to change your APN or it has stopped working here’s how you can do it (it requires you to have a Vodafone SIM or other “official carrier” SIM):

Read MoreTelecom to fix SIM cards for Voicemail via over-the-air update. UPDATE: Not true.
Back at the end of last month, we reported that Telecom were to roll-out new SIM cards that would fix the non-functioning voicemail-button issue that has plagued iPhone owners on XT since updating to iOS 4 without our carrier bundle.
