If you are one of the numerous PDC10 attendees moving your iPhone SIM to your free LG-E900 Windows Phone 7, and you're on AT&T, you may have noticed the minute you lost WiFi coverage your data stopped as well. If you read through the paperwork that comes with the phone there was a quick little note that says "you may need to manually configure your APN setting." Well that was an important hint to getting your Windows Phone 7 up and running with data on AT&T. To updates the APN do the following on your phone:
- Open Settings
- Cellular
- Scroll to the bottom where is says Set or Edit APN
- APN: wap.cingular
- Username: wap@cingulargprs.com
- Password: CINGULAR1
Yes those are all cingular names, but that's what AT&T still uses. These settings are those that are required for the iPhone to work, so if you're coming from a non-iPhone plan, these settings may not work, or you may be required to upgrade your data plan. Also I won't guarantee that this won't impact our data plans in any way, it simply gets the Windows Phone 7 up and running on the AT&T iPhone data plan, and seems to work fine for me.
