Origional post:


I updated to the beta 5 this evening, but have lost the ability to use Cellular data. This happens both with an over-the-air upgrade and a clean restore.


Am running on an iPhone 5C (Model A1456, A1532) using the Petro Canada network (Rogers reseller) in Canada.
APN name: internet.com

User Name: wapuser1


Please note this worked all previous betas and iOS 8.4

I have made and installed a custom APN profile for my MVNO and cellular data connection is working again now.

You can make a custom APN profile by editing this one.

The most important settings are between row 13 to 36.

Thanks. Really appreciate it.

I had this exact issue .. I run a popular APN settings website (www.unlockit.co.nz) and I got a large number of emails today.


(Data stopped working)


After a while I got it working with a few people who helpped me alot.


A few things.. They Broke it in the release version (not supporting the older version of setting APNs)

Quite a few Carriers will not Accept PAP (but the default is PAP)

The number of emails has reduced a lot this afternoon.

I've attempted to use the article at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205222 to replace my existing Verizon Static APN but have not had any luck. I know I'm doing something wrong. If I attached my current APN that stopped working, would someone edit it so that it works again? I've got several iOS 9 tablets in the field that use static IP's from Verizon and they have all lost network connection (except on Wi-Fi).


Thanks for any suggenstions.


Here's the link to the mobile config file.

LennonNZ, I want to say thanks for unlockit.co.nz


It has been a real help 🙂

Does anybody have an updated Verizon southern region Static APN (SO01.VZWSTATIC)? Mine quit working with the iOS 9 update and I'd really like to get it working again. I've followed the steps at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205222 but have not had any luck. Apple has basically told me there is nothing I can do except wait for 9.0.1. I find this hard to believe. Thank you in advance.

This has now been properly fixed in the iOS 9.0.1 update.

I had this same problem after going from iphone 4 to a new 5S on Verizon.


I had good cellular data only after doing factory resets, but would lose it as soon as I restored from my old backup. I don't have a way to create/modify APN settings in either ios 8.x or 9.x


I found this worked:


Get connected via wifi, then open a web browser.


Go to: unlockit.co.nz. (I had my doubts, but saw other references to this working and at worst could just reset the phone again)


Click on the bottom middle button that says 'Create APN'.


Choose your provider from the dropdown.


Click "Install". You will now have cellular data back.



What it does is create a "cellullar profile" you can find under "Settings>General". I don't know what it does really, and contacted Apple for explanation. They said it is a carrier setting, so i will be following up with Verizon ASAP tomorrow (Monday) to make sure it is legit, but at least this gives me my data back, and shows an actual issue to pursue, whether or not this is the CORRECT fix for it.
