Ultimate APN Settings for Straight Talk with Android

Posted by Richard on Aug 22, 2012 in All Posts, Android | 144 comments

UPDATE: Great news for all you Straight Talk users! Since I’ve posted a few articles here on WireValley in regards to my experience with Straight Talk, APN settings, tutorials, screenshots, helping others, etc. I thought it would be a great idea to start a support website for all of us Straight Talk users! Visit http://StraightTalkSupport.com to ask questions, learn tips, tricks, and plenty more.

I’ve been using Straight Talk now for over a week and everything is still going great! I had one hiccup with picture messaging. I had entered in another APN setting for MMS picture messaging and everything was working good for a few days. Then, I was having issues with my data connection so I changed my other APN setting with one I found online. However, that ended up screwing up my MMS settings again! Sounds confusing, but really it was an easy fix and I’m here to give you the settings you need to talk, text, data, and MMS.

Enter in this APN for your talk, text, and data:

_________________________________

Name: ST (or whatever you want)
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port: 80
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http: mmsc. cingular. com (**no spaces and no”//”**)
MMSC proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: Not set
APN type: default,supl~~,mms~~ (notice I took off the mms! This is because we’ll enter a 2nd APN for mms.)
APN protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Not specified

_________________________________

Now, we’ll enter in a another APN for your picture messaging. So go to your APN settings on your phone and create a new APN. Use these settings:

___________________________________________

Name: MMS

APN: att.mvno

skip down to MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication Type: Not set

skip to APN type and enter: mms
THEN SAVE

___________________________________________

In case you like screenshots, here are the first two screenshots and how your settings should look for the your 1st APN titled ST (or whatever you called it.)

continued on to 2nd screenshot…

Now onto your MMS APN setting. These are the screenshots for how your 2nd APN called MMS should look:

Continued on to 2nd screenshot….

There you go! Your phone should have perfect working talk, text, data, and picture messaging! I haven’t had any issues since I’ve using these two APN settings together.

What about the MCC and MNC for the MMS APN settings? My phone enters 310 and 410 by default, should I delete them?
- WireValley
  
  No, sorry! Leave those there!

    I’ve gotten the settings in and still can receive pictures but cannot send. Any clues on why this could be happening? it’s incredibly annoying.
    - WireValley
      
      Yup! Try this.. my settings have changed (yet again) since updating to Jelly Bean on my phone. Was running into the same issues.
      
      Under your first APN called ST (or whatever you called it) completely REMOVE “MMSC proxy: 66.209.11.33″ so there is nothing in there.
      
      STILL leave in the setting above that, and the one below. So that would be MMSC, and MMS port.
      
      Only remove the MMSC Proxy in your first APN setting and let me know if it works.
      
      (still keep the MMSC proxy entered in under you “MMS” APN)
      
      Let me know!

        My phone won’t let me edit the APN settings and I have been on the phone with straight talk for over an hour and they are not being able to figure out how to make me be able to send picture messages either.
      - WireValley
        
        What kind of phone do you have?
      - death2verizon
        
        dude, the apn now is 66.209.11.32 (not 33)
- WireValley
  
  I’ve updated the post to include that information since it’s put there by default. Thanks for pointing that out.
WireValley

When you’re entering in the APN type for the first setting, that is an sup”L” (supl) not an I (i).

APN type: default,supl
- Bushmaster78FS
  
  Yep no problem with that… I got my sim card last night and just havent confirmed fully working MMS. Data works lightning fast with your settings in the first APN settings up above. Original APN settings that came out of ST activation card is garbage!
  
  Edit: just had my wife sent me a pic message, it received a text saying “message not downloaded” once I tapped on it, it downloaded the pic.
  
  So I can confirm all settings are working. SONY XPERIA ARC S, previously with dang ATT!
  - WireValley
    
    I know! Straight Talk’s APN settings were complete garbage. I don’t know what’s going on their end. When I received my order confirmation e-mail even their phone number was listed wrong! They had 1-800 when it’s supposed to be 1-877.
    
    I’m just glad the service works! I’m glad I could help you too. Also, if you wouldn’t have clicked the “download” button it should download on it’s own in 5 seconds or so and then pop-up like a regular text message
    
    You can test this. Just send a picture message to yourself. As soon as it starts sending leave your text message screen, set your phone down and wait for it to come down. Should popup like regular message without having to click download You probably just got to anxious and had your phone in your hand waiting to see if it came through.
    - Bushmaster78FS
      
      Sounds good, one thing I noticed though, I have the sync icon on the notification bar constantly. I went into Accounts and Sync in the phone settings and checked, Picasa Web photos option is constantly syncing. Rebooted, doing the same, I will continue to test. At least I have unlimited data and I don’t have 2GB of pics in picasa anyways. Another friend just confirmed he got my picture text, so everything works for me with your settings. I should post on XDA if you have that thread still going.
      - WireValley
        
        Just be careful with the unlimited data. You really only get like 2 – 2.5GB. I would tell Picasa to only sync when you’re on wifi. Plus, the constant sync is going to drain your battery.
        
        Yeah, I posted this fix over on XDA, but not with these “new” updated settings. There were a few minor changes to get it working this good. Feel free to post on XDA though and direct people to this post!
      - Bushmaster78FS
        
        Do they simply throttle you down or stop your data? I never exceeded 2 GB with ATT but couldn’t use Pandora or anything.
        
        I guess I will bookmark this blog update and see if there are changes to the settings periodically.
        
        Now, I wonder same settings would work with iPhone 3GS, my wife’s phone is being ported as we speak.
      - WireValley
        
        I’ve read that it depends. Must go by where you live and the network area. I’ve read they throttle you and don’t reset at the first day of the next month, I’ve read they just cut you off and you lose your phone #, I’ve read they will call you and speak to you about it to cut back, etc. All I know is that I will never try to go over 2.5GB. If I get the call at 2.1GB, then I will really cut back and never go over again. However, as mentioned in my articles I checked my history back to February with AT&T and never went over 1.8GB as long as I connect to WiFi at work and home.
        
        Your wife will not get picture messaging on her iPhone with Straight Talk unless you jailbreak it. This is very well known fact on Straight Talk. Apple does not allow you to tinker with the settings as much as Android. This is why I hate Apple so much. They lock their systems down to almost render the user from doing anything with their product.
        
        Like me on Facebook if you don’t mind! (Like box is on the homepage, top right-hand corner.) You can bookmark too whatever you prefer.
        
        If you have more questions or comments, let me know!
      - Bushmaster78FS
        
        I hate Apple’s guts! But it is also so simple to use for my technology challenged wifey… And not to mention my college is requiring me to get the iPad! I am just disgusted. Do you know an easy non aggressive way to jailbreak the iPhone 3GS? Or a website? I should do that for her phone so there are no complaints about switching from ATT. To me there are no problems, $130 compared to $45 per phone?!?! I will like you on FB sure, also try G+ I am very active and I share a lot there.
      - WireValley
        
        Nope, sorry. I don’t know anything about Apple products I don’t use them. I was looking on Facebook on my friends iPhone last weekend and I had to ask a couple questions because I didn’t get where the settings button was LOL.
        
        To be honest, I would just YouTube and learn how to jailbreak. I do know that whenever Apple releases a new update, it locks out your jailbreak and then you have to re-do the process. However, if she’s on the 3GS, I imagine there aren’t anymore updates coming out since it’s an “older” phone, so you would be fine.
    - Bushmaster78FS
      
      I will confirm the settings on XDA, is your thread still going on there?

With the Ongoing Data issues that the ATT Sim have been giving people, I decided to enter the proxy, Everything worked fine except I couldnt get a speed test. Ive been told having a Proxy disables this. Can you confirm this and which is the best setting to have? Proxy or No proxy?
- WireValley
  
  Keep the proxy settings. I haven’t had one data issue (or any issues) since I’ve been using the settings above.
  
  You can download “Internet Speed Test” from the Android market and it’ll give you a speed test. I’m properly 1mbps – 4mbps when running the test. I honestly don’t even worry about the speed tests anymore because my phone works just like it worked when I was with AT&T (except I’m paying half the price). My Pandora loads just fine, and my websites are snappy!
Bushmaster78FS

Try this app and let me know what you think… HiAPN Global (1 Click Surfing)

looks like it is the only app to back up your APN settings…

wow finally. I have been at this for a week. straight talk tech support could not help they told me to call the company that made my phone for help even though my phone worked fine on at&t and the group texts stopped working on straight talk so its absolutely not the phone!!! but this article worked!!! so psyched, i did not even have to set up a second network, for authentication i only had default checked off, once i checked off supl and mms i can now download all pics and groups texts, yeah!!!!
ian
- WireValley
  
  Awesome! I’m glad I could be of assistance! Don’t forget to “Like” WireValley on Facebook (home page, right-hand corner.)
  
  If you have more StraightTalk issues, feel free to message me anytime. I’m quick at responding! Once in a while I have to restart the phone cause of bad data connection, but I’m still liking Straight Talk! About to go into my 3rd month

I have htc rezound unlocked using ST sim from att and I have voice I can recieve sms but i cant send sms or mms or get on the internet. Could you help me with this issue. I have tried numerous apn’s to no avail
- WireValley
  
  Unfortunately, if my *ultimate* APN settings do not work, there’s not a whole lot of support I can offer you.
  
  Do go over my settings on this post with a fine tooth pick to make sure you have all the settings entered correctly, and on the right line. I would often have at least 1 setting off.
  
  Next, if that is all correct, I can only recommend factory resetting the phone and starting over. I just re-installed my whole phone’s operating system this past weekend and I had to enter in the APN settings again, and they worked like a charm. Again, my settings above *should* work for any Android phone :-/ Let me know how it goes and if you discover anything!!
Peretz

I hate to be a bother, but would you mind taking pictures of your APN settings and posting them to the article? I’m not entirely clear on the MMSC field for the first APN.
- WireValley
  
  I am so sorry for the long delay!! I completely spaced this out… not sure if you figured this out or not already, but screenshots are attached to the post on my blog now. Thanks for the idea. This will come in handy for others as well, I’m sure.

i dont know if something is wrong, but i bought Note 2 international factory unlocked and used Tmobile for a while and i had data and mms, but i decided to switch to ST and now, i cant make my data to work if someone has and advice please help…i dont want to go back to Tmobile
- WireValley
  
  Are you using StraightTalk over AT&T or T-Mobiles network? You reviewed the information / pictures above line by line?
trouble with mms

Thank you sooooooo much!!!
jimmie

i have a samsung sidekick 4g, can you help me with
my straight talk settings, or will the settings above be the same?
Q 2) my phone use to show (4g) at the top of the screen,
now it only shows the letter (E) why?
txcntrygrlbecks

Let me just say I googled for 2 hours last night and finally today got this page! I am so happy to have found it because now my beloved ION works!!! Thank you to whoever found these settings. I love my phone and didn’t want to give it up!

Where do u put this in at on the IPhone 4
- DracoAzule
  
  You don’t. You have to jailbreak it.
katrin thorn

My phone, text, mms work perfectly. My internet does not seem to work. It does not say Roam and does not show any internet connection. Any idea? Thank you so much for your help!
- WireValley
  
  Have you tried deleting your APN and re-entering brand new all over again? That’s where I’d start.
layne0

I just got the Nexus 4 and bought a sim from Straight Talk – had them port over the number. Tried the default Straight Talk settings with no luck, and then tried the setting you suggested with still no luck getting data to work.
When I get into the diagnostic testing menu by typing: *#*#4636#*#*
It shows that my GPRS Service is either hung at “Connecting”, or it will say “Disconnected”.
Have you seen this or anyone else?
- WireValley
  
  I have not seen this on the Nexus 4 although, I don’t have this phone. I guess just delete all APNs and keep trying until you find the lucky combo! That’s what I did.
Brandon

Great apn, but I’m having a problem. I used to have HDSPA+ on straight talk, now I only have 3G. Any suggestions? I am rooted but not unlocked.
- WireValley
  
  Have you tried to simply delete the APNs and then re-enter brand new? Give that a shot.

Been working on this for over three days with Stright Talk and have Googled thousands of sites, Found your Post and Followed it – Seems to be working I now have text talk and data – thanks to you ……Happy Happy Happy.

How about settings for a windows HTC 8x with similar issues? I am using the AT&T SIM card and I am unable to receive group texts and picture texts? Are there any ultimate settings for me? Cheers
- WireValley
  
  Sorry I don’t do Windows phones. Android only.
Gerald

I have been trying to get data and mms pics to work for the past 48 hours, I was getting NOTHING. I even began to question if AT&T even worked out here. I have been picking through hundreds of pages trying to find the right APN to get this sob working. THANK YOU SO MUCH, this is the FIRST ONE to give me anything. I <3 you….. (posted from Nexus 4 with DATA on straight talk, best deal in the world)
Diva

Hello Please help ……Just switched over to ST – on my phone menu there is no APN protocol, Enable/disable APN or Bearer box?????
Diva

For anout an hr I could send and receive msg …….Now I can receive txt msg but I can’t reply to them ……..Its driving me crazy ……lol
Ann

I have a Samsung Galaxy S (ATT Capitivate). I bought the Straight Talk sim and installed it. Text worked but the data does not. I called Straight Talk and they were unable to help. They blamed it on the phone manufacturer. I have tried you settings above with the only difference is I don’t have default, supl as an option on the apn type. I only have internet, mms, and internet + mms. I choose internet for the first APN setting. I still can’t get the data to work. Any ideas? Would hate to go back to ATT.
manda

You are awesome! I was really getting ticked of trying to get my data to work!
- WireValley
  
  haha! thanks. Glad I could help.
Chad

Does this also allow you to bypass the throttling/data limit?
- WireValley
  
  No. Stay under 2.5GB a month. That’s the most I’ve ever used and never got a call.
help samsung

I have a s3 on straight talk my internet is workin amd test messages .. I can recieve mms but cant send any.. what am I doin wrong please help im gettin frustrated
- WireValley
  
  Try deleting your MMSC proxy in your first APN setting. Are you running Jelly Bean?
Amanda

THANK YOU! I just spent two days trying to figure out the APN settings for my Galaxy s3 running 4.1.1 with Straight Talk before stumbling upon this post. Your additional information for jelly bean down in the comments is what finally made the difference. I have my 4g up and running!
- krismyers
  
  how did you get to the apn settings menu? I don’t even know where to find it.

Thank you SO much! I spent hours google-ing how to make my MMS work and stumbled across you page. The settings work! You are a lifesaver. Thanks, thanks, thanks.

  No problem! Glad I could help

is this only for AT&T? I am trying to achieve the same – but with a t-mobile S3??? Thanks for the help!

Do these settings apply to a tmobile galaxy S 3 phone? Because I am having no luck with these setting nor will they let me save them. Please help if possible. Thanx
- Dave
  
  Hey Jared! I have a t-mobile compatible phone as well. Try changing the APN in both the ST and MMS from att.mvno to wap.tracfone. I just tried that today and both my mms and data are finally working!
  - Jess
    
    Dave – I would love you forever if you listed the 2 apn settings that you used… I use a t-mobile compatible Galaxy s3.
http://twitter.com/B3N Ben Hawkins

This seems like a heaven send, yet I still cannot recieve any MMS. >_> All of the APN settings match on my nexus 4. Perhaps there could be a delayed effect?
- WireValley
  
  In the first APN setting, delete the MMS proxy and possibly the mmsc setting. I think this will work. Just make sure you have the second APN (MMS) setting in your phone as well.
toya

Thank u soo much this really helped me!
Jim

I’ve entered this like 10 times and whenever I save, it refuses to save it. Any ideas? I have an HTC MyTouch 4g.
- WireValley
  
  Are you hitting ‘Save’?
  
  Click your settings button to bring up the menu option and then you can click save.
  - Jim
    
    Yes, I click save. I even tried editing the existing apn so that everything matches, and when I press save on that, the apn disappears. There is something in there that my phone does not like.
    - chazk87
      
      I am experiencing the same issue.
Matthew Scott

okay so i had a tmobile g2x and has the tmobile sim card from straight talk. I recently bought an htc one x and unlocked it, well i cut the sim card down to fit in my one x and it works but im only getting EDGE do i need to get the sim for att phone from straight talk or is there a way to get back my 4g speeds that i had on my g2x with straight talk. please help
- WireValley
  
  Is this the HTC One X from AT&T? Then yes, you would only get Edge speeds on the phone. AT&T phones do not run compatible with T-Mobiles 3G (HSPA+) network. T-Mobile operates at different frequencies.

i have tried for 2 damn weeks to fix mine, now i find this site follow the directions and whammo it works, you the man thank you
- WireValley
  
  Glad I could help! Thanks for the nice comments I appreciate positive feedback. Keeps me logging on to try and help others.
  
  If you want to see faster results, be able to run speed tests, etc. try deleting the proxy stuff in your APN settings. My phone is much smoother now!
  
  Go into the first APN and change:
  
  Proxy:
  Port:

- WireValley
  
  Try my APN settings above, but remove anything dealing with PROXY.
  
  Leave your proxy stuff blank:
  
  Proxy: Not Set

Kurt Ford

Still need help on a galaxy note 2 tried I think every setup. any help would be a lifesaver
- WireValley
  
  Hi, I’m running the Galaxy Note II now with Straight Talk. Just got it setup about 2 nights ago.
  
  Try my APN settings on this page, but for the proxy stuff, leave it blank. So in the first APN it should read as:
  
  Proxy: Not Set
  Port: Not set
  
  Everything is running successfully for me with Straight Talk/AT&T service.
  - Kurt Ford
    
    uggh i have a att note II as well so this is pissing me off that mine isn’t working. Did you have to put in the att unlock code for yours to work? I have the APN setting from this post (and tried every other i can find) removed the proxy and port and still no data! All i can do is call and text
Josh

On an unlocked AT&T Sony Xperia Play with unlimited Straight Talk. Tried Straight Talks default APN settings and these suggestions. Can’t seem to get ANY data or multimedia messaging working. Can only use the internet when WiFi is enabled. I’m using a separate APN for MMS like you mentioned, have tried deleting the MMSC proxy from the first, turned the phone on/off countless times after adjusting APNs in order to re-establish my access thinking that will reset something. No luck yet. Kind of a bummer .
- Josh
  
  I can connect to Edge (2G) when I don’t supply any APN settings (they are set to none or blank) other than a name for the APN. I have also tried setting my APN to wap.tracfone… which had me connect to Edge as well. Also had an multimedia message send when it connected to Edge with no APN settings… For some reason using att.mvno, I cannot get any data connection whatsoever or use MMS. I’m wondering if there are alternate APNs I can connect to that will allow 3G/4G (my Xperia Play is an 800at and says it can do 4G)?
  - WireValley
    
    Trying my APN settings again, but delete the proxy stuff in the first APN:
    
    Proxy: Not Set
    Port: Not set
John

I have a htc rezound any ideas why this wont work?
- WireValley
  
  In your first APN setting, change the proxy settings to:
  
  Proxy: Not Set
  Port: Not set
  
  Having no proxy works MUCH better for me!

Just plugged into my Nexus 4 on ST with ATT, and it seems to be working. Thanks a bunch.
Dave

Hey! Thank you so much for posting this! I spent many many hours trying to set up my new straight talk Xperia Tipo and this really helped me to get it working. For some reason the att.mvno APN was not working for me, but after switching that out for wap.tracfone in both APNs, my phone works great! Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction!
Matt

Hey im wondering if this will work for a droid 3 on verizon thanks you
http://www.facebook.com/EgoDevoidOfLogic Jase Dunn

I just recently bought a Galaxy SII on the Straight Talk network, and just earlier today, the 4g decided it didn’t want to work anymore. I can’t access the internet without connecting it to wifi. I tried looking into the APN settings, but there’s no option to edit them, as far as I can tell. I was on the phone with ST for 2 hours, and they ultimately decided to send me a replacement. This is frustrating to me, as I didn’t spend $300 on a phone, only to be unable to use it to its full capacity.
Rich

Thanks for the post. My phone now works thanks to you..:-)
Thomas

will this work with net10?
- WireValley
  
  I’m not sure. Give it a shot and let me know!
  - Thomas
    
    Didn’t work. Can’t find anything that will work yet.

I just got the LG Google Nexus 4, and cannot send pics, and downloading incoming mms takes forever. I have tried numerous APN configurations and still have issues. Any suggestions?
- WireValley
  
  Did you enter in the 2nd MMS setting as mentioned in the article? If you did, and nothing is still working, there is 1 more step you need to do (SORRY, I need to update the article)
  
  1. Edit the first APN setting and completely delete the Proxy.
  
  2. Completely delete the MMSC.
  
  3. Completely delete the MMSC proxy.
  
  4. Save
  
  Assuming both APNs are entered correctly now (TRIPLE check everything!) you should be in business!
  
  Let me know,
  Richard
  - http://www.facebook.com/venessa.lee214 Venessa Lee
    
    Tried that, and still won’t seem to send MMS. I am using ST, with one of their AT&T SIM cards, that I got before they stopped selling them…could that be my issue?
    - WireValley
      
      Nope, that shouldn’t matter. I too am using AT&T and my MMS has always worked with these settings. I discovered that I had to delete the proxy and MMSC stuff after I upgraded to Jelly Bean.
      
      For your APN, delete att.mvno and try wap.tracfone I’ve never used this one before, but I know it’s another common APN.
      
      The best I can recommend is to delete both APNs are start from scratch :-/ sorry, I can’t offer much more than that! It’s a bummer these settings just don’t work for everyone since they’ve been so great for me! (sorry, not trying to rub it in)
      - http://www.facebook.com/venessa.lee214 Venessa Lee
        
        That didn’t fix it either. I got the phone on Monday, and MMS was working until yesterday, so I don’t know what is going on… :/
Jared

Thanx for all the help. I had purchased straight talk for my Samsung Galaxy S3, and had some problems with it, after calling the peeps from ST, still had the same probs. Came to your site and followed your detailed instructions, and BA BAM!! Phone works great have NO problems. Thank You..
Don

NOTE: Had to leave the “//” for MMSC, then it works like a charm!
Thanks a mil! (Using Galaxy S3)

  i dont understand i left tmobile for a reason…they suck
  - WireValley
    
    Also, please tell me which phone you are using.
- WireValley
  
  Straight Talk runs off of the T-Mobile network. They state this on their website when checking out. It says “T-mobile network sim card” Unless.. were you lucky enough to snatch up an AT&T sim card for Straight Talk before Straight Talk got rid of them? This is how I’m currently using the AT&T network with Straight Talk.

Haloo, I just want to ask is there any way that I can fix my signal strength because I think they send me T-mobile sim card so like when I go to work I don’t have signal inside of building what can I do? Thank you
jimbo

there is a app that you can download to set your straight talk sims its called tweakker
- Gregory Upson
  
  Thank you jimbo!! I downloaded this app today and my Android S3 phone is receiving and sending picture messages. You are a life saver!!!!

Sorry to sound dumb but when entering these two different settings does that mean having to go into APN settings constantly to switch between for internet and mms needs? I don’t understand how they can work dually..
- WireValley
  
  Don’t worry about it
  
  No you do NOT need to switch back and forth. When you enter in the MMS APN it will know it’s specifically for MMS, and it’ll actually be grayed out so you can’t even select it this is how it works.

Maybe lm not looking hard enough but I don’t see settings for T mobile. I have a Note 2 And my mms doesn’t work. Could yoo please give me settings for that if u have them
- WireValley

  - Dariae

I upgraded to ICS and lost my APN settings on Straight Talk. Thanks for helping me restore my 4G. However, I’ve always had problems sending MMS or replying to iPhone group messages. I just get the moving circle. The weird thing is, it “sometimes” works. I’ve googled this issue for months and I’m at the point of giving up. i have the correct settings for threading group conversations and making Handcent the default (and I’ve tried other apps, including the stock). I have a Galaxy S2, ATT. Am I just out of luck?

How do you take screetshots on a straight talk smart phone?
- WireValley
  
  Is your phone rooted? If not, then you will have to download some generic app from the app store.

Gregory Upson

I have a Android S3, it is a T-Mobile phone. I have tried to enter the codes but when I go to save the first APN it doesn’t do anything. It won’t allow me to change it. Could someone let me know what I need to do please?

Hello. I have an at&t Samsung galaxy s3 and am trying to unlock it for Straight Talk. I have my sims card in it and am able to make calls but cant send pics or receive them nor can I get on the internet. I have entered in the information you provided but I am not able to get on the internet still…unless theres wifi around. I tried downloading tweakker but it wont download for some reason. Do I even need tweakker if I use the info you provided? Thanks so much!
- WireValley
  
  Remove proxy… the only sections you should have are the APN: att.mvno
  
  APN Type: default,supl
  
  Create a separate APN for MMS.
LATOYA

hey everything is working fine except the internet. it keeps saying no network connection???? HELP
- WireValley
  
  Remove proxy. Just put in the APN (att.mvno)
  - Katrice Hull
    
    do you mean to leave the proxy blank for the straight talk apn setting? my network connection is flaky

These totally worked for me today. Thanks!
Marlon

THANK YOU!!!!! I just used this on my Galaxy Note from ATT now on ST. Everything is working. Couldnt be happier.
Katrice Hull

my phone only allows me to select one APN setting at a time. are you saying that we would have to switch apns everytime we want to use mms??
- WireValley
  
  No. Just enter mms and you’ll see
  - Katrice Hull
    
    my 4g signal looks a little better (for now) but when i place a call it says “out of service area” and disconnects even if I had full 4g and all 5 bars when dialing…
    - WireValley
      
      You’ll have to tinker with settings. Try not using proxy, use proxys, try att.mvno, etc.
      - Katrice Hull
        
        i removed everything that said proxy anything and still no change. so then i removed proxy and ports.

Thanks Richard! Both, settings Works prefect for my Galaxy S4!
