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.

I ditched my iPhone when I got tired of my tethering options randomly disappearing/reappearing on minor iOS updates without a chance to override that. Even though my carrier allowed and supported tethering, the options would just disappear because the APN settings for the carrier were not present in the phone and couldn't be uploaded on some iOS versions. Somehow Android "just worked". Figure that.
