I'm on ipad 2 64gig wifi 3G version 4.3.3 jailbroken.

three weeks ago it my 3G was working fine, and now that I'm back my 3G signal is there but no ip so no Internet. then I checked the apn and that's gone, so I think that's why my 3G isn't working.

so how so I get the apn setting back? I tried rebooting, restarting, reset my network settings. still nothing. what do I do now?

Hi,

Here in South Africa, on vodacom, the APN under settings is: internet
If that doesn't work, contact your service provider for these setting, just tell them you want to connect to the Internet and want the APN info. Who's is your service provider?

im in cambodia. i got the apn info from my service provider before already, and i already input it in the apn setting before, but now when i want to connect to the 3g service it would say 3g upper left hand corner, but no internet connection. so when i wanted to check the apn setting i cant seen to find it anywhere. i looked in every tab in the setting. haha.

Ok, it has happens to me before, when I try connecting to many wifi spots, or I do a upgrade. Luckily I have written the info down, as 'Internet' is easy. Who is your service provider?

Now I understand, are you saying that that field itself is missing, not the data?
So settings, cellular data, APN settings, APN ?

i see cellular data, VPN, but no APN

Can you take a screen shot and post it, both of that page and the page if you click VPN.
To do that, hold the hold and home button for a second, the picture is saved into photos

This is strange. Have you tried to do a full reinstallation through iTunes to ios 5.0.1?

Perhaps you installed recently PhoneIt-iPad?. I think that this was the problem in my case.

You can try the unlockit APN changer. This solved it for my.

Regards!
