IPhone iOS 7 resets Mobile Data settings

Firstly I would like to apologise, I could not find any section of the forums marked "mobiles", so landline seemed the next place to go (if anybody can forward me on to the right place I would appreciate it).
My company started rolling out iPhones just previous to the iOS7 release. They are all BT but you need to enter the APN (etc) settings manually as BT uses the Vodaphone network.
When our users started to upgrade to iOS7 we found that the Mobile Data Settings reset back to the Vodaphone.
Does anybody know how to prevent this from happening?
As it's the only software update I've seen I'm not sure whether it was a one-off due to it being iOS7 or whether the future patches will not reset it as well.
Thanks a bunch,
Grant.

This is a problem with iPhones and any sub-branded network.
This isn't the only time they'll change, they randomly (seemingly) reset the details every now and then to the parent network settings.  Of the 6 iPhones I've just upgraded to iOS7, 1 of them kept the settings through the upgrade!
I've spoken with BT - who are well aware of the problem, but have no solution; and I've also spoken with Apple - who know of the problem and cannot stop it from happening.
Hope you get it sorted... let me know if you do!
Maf.

    I'm sorry, but you are going to have to try a little better to explain your issue and what your question is, or post in your native language.

    If iPhone is reset clearing data is find my iPhone turned off?

    Yes, if you wipe the phone, you will no longer be able to track it.
    You can lock it with a pass code, but don't wipe it.

    why does my iphone 4s has mobile data instead of cellular data?

    "Mobile data" and "cellular data" are the same thing - just depends what your carrier chooses to call it.

  • Is there a way to use my iPhone and iPad mobile email settings in a macbook air to utilize it as a true mobile device?

    My company doesn't support macs, but the mobile mail works great on my iPhone/iPad.  The settings provided by my company enables syncing on my calendar, I can accept appointments, and my mail syncs perfectly and always faster than my DELL laptop wired to my network.
    My question is this... I desperately want a macbook air as I travel ALL the time.  Can I use my mobile settings to send/receive/coordinate my calendar just as my iphone does on the macbook air?  I have a macbook pro and have been experimenting with the mail.app, and it can't connect to the mobile server to my company.
    If the settings work so well on iphone/ipad, why can't I get them to work with the mail app on OSX?
    First off, I'm set up as exchange on my iphone.
    I enter my company email address, add my company user name, add my password, enter domain, and type in mobile.xxxxxxxx.com as my server... WORKS perfectly.
    On the mail.app on my mac, there's no place to add domain, so I've tried to not add it, and also tried to put my domain behind my company username.  DOMAIN\USERNAME. 
    Mail can not connect to the server.
    Is a port issue? 
    I also tried to sync the account using itunes.  I currently have a gmail account, mobileme account, a yahoo account, and my company exchange account.  ONLY the mobileme and gmail account show up in the sync. 
    How do I solve this?  How can I make it work? Is there a mail client out there which makes OSX look like a mobile device for email/calendar applications???
    I tried apple support, and I guess they can't wrap their heads around the fact that some companies still do not support mac.  Support was useless.
    HELP!!

    Is there a way that I could use my (first generation) iPhone as a back-up modem for both notebooks?

  • Iphone 4 reset to factory settings need to recover sms messages

    I had to reset my iphone to factory settings. It was backed up.  I need to recover my sms messages.  How do I do this?

    That's the new normal for an iPhone straight from the box.  It's called the Setup Assistant.  The Setup Assistant steps an iPhone user through the setup process, including connecting to a Wi-Fi network, signing in with or creating a free Apple ID, setting up iCloud, turning on recommended features such as Location Services and Find My iPhone, and activating iPhone with a carrier.
    Just turn the phone off without going through the Setup.

  • IPhone 4: Reset to Factory Settings

    Hello.
    I am getting a used iPhone 4 from my mum, but I've got a few questions.
    1) Is it possible to go onto settings and restore from there on iOS 5.1.1?
    2) Mum got her iPhone 4 whilst it was on iOS 4 - wil it revert back to iOS 4 or to iOS 5.1.1?
    Any replies I am greatful for,
    Thanks,
    Thomas 

    In order to get it to factory default you will need to restore as new using iTunes. So you will need an computer with the latest version of iTunes.
    It will not revert back to iOS 4. Apple does not support that.

  • HT201328 Error after unlocking - need to reset data settings Access Point Name

    Hi -
    AT&T unlocked my phone few months back. I restored the phone and got "iphone unlocked message". After inserting the new SIM card, I cannot get on the cellular network. I think I need to reset the data settings access point name. However I am unable to access this option. Can someone help?
    Thanks

    I had the same problem and I fixed it as following (See if it's the same case for you) :
    1. Goto Tools > Options.
    2. Under Advanced, select the Network Tab.
    3. Click on Settings in the "Connection" box (open connection settings).
    4. Check if "Automatic Proxy Configuration URL" is selected. If it is so, select "No proxy" instead or manually enter your proxy if you are using one.
    The option "Automatic Proxy Configuration URL" was the culprit for me and some others as well and selecting "No proxy" instead cured our problems. It is a bug and has already been reported on Bugzilla as you can see here :

    Hi hjmdsalleh,
    You typically use iTunes to sync your content to your iPhone.
    iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
    If you are having problems syncing some videos, they may not be in the correct format.
    iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod

  • Since upgrading Iphone to iOS 5.1.1 it does not automatically use wifi internet when wifi is available. It has been draining my mobile data. I can only manually change settings with cellular data everytime I get home. Any other solutions?

    Since upgrading Iphone to iOS 5.1.1 it does not automatically divert to my wi-fi internet when wifi is available in my home. It has been draining my mobile data I  now have very high bills from my mobile carrier for high data usage. I can only manually change settings in the Network and turn cellular data on and off everytime I get home and leave the home. This is very frustrating as it wasn't a  problem until the upgrade. I have spoken to a few people that this has happened to. Has anyone found this problem and does anyone have other solutions?

    Please disregard this question. I'll submit a shorter and more direct question. Thanks.
