Why should anyone have to set this themseleves anyway? I thought carriers pushed these settings through some kind of magic "carrier settings" text message? I don't understand why his carrier can't sort this out for him? I'm pretty sure they can change the APN remotely because I found a way to tether my laptop to my sony erricson way back when it had unlimited data (because WAP was so crap that no-one used much data). My memory may be wrong but I think they changed the APN for WAP access to one which actually had a password by sending out one of these, then shut off the APN people were using for surfing the web on their laptops through a tethered phone.
