For the past several years now or about Since Windows Phone 7.8 it's not possible to change the DNS settings. This makes accessing the internet difficult at times. Especially when traveling.
Yes we all know how to change the DNS on our routers but that will only work if you have access to your router. Yes we know that the DNS cannot be changed on a Windows 8 phone, and have not heard any news of this function working on a Windows 8.1 phone.
Why has Microsoft done this? That's a very good question. Will they fix it? that's another very good question but both questions to this day remain a mystery.
If you go on the Microsoft Community boards it's pretty much a waste of time for those that are technically knowledgeable. Most of the responses come from home users or people that just like to have something to post on the internet.
Please don't write to me telling me it can't be done. I know that, as does most of the techie world.
But I'm hanging in there hopeful that one day Microsoft will step up to the plate and let us know they are putting it back in.
Microsoft if you're listening WHY!!!!
