Bug Description
APN editor is not available when cellular data is disabled for the SIM. APN editor should be enabled even if we have not activated data yet. We should let the user enter/check the APN data before enabling data if he wishes so.
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to System Settings -> Cellular -> Disable Cellular data ( or try to access APN Editor for SIM that's not selected for cellular data )
Now try to access the APN Editor.
Expected results:
The APN Editor can be used.
Actual results:
"APN" stays grey and I cannot enter APN data. See attached screenshot
It may save time to fix this bug at the same time as bug #1388044.

To post a comment you must log in.
Originally, I had specified that "On the carrier screen, the 'APN' item should be insensitive whenever the SIM is not associated with a carrier."
But then I was told that which APN you use is independent of which carrier you use. So I removed that restriction as part of the design for bug 1388044.
This bug report seems to be expecting a third behavior: that you should be able to change the APN "when switching to Manually" -- and presumably, not when the carrier is Automatic.
So, which is correct? You should be able to specify an APN manually:
(A) at any time, even when there is no carrier (e.g. you're in a tunnel)
(B) whenever you're connected to any carrier
(C) whenever you're connected to a manually-chosen carrier.
