STRAIGHT TALK SIM APN SETTINGS (AT&T BASED, NOT T-Mobile) - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this thread is old as hell, but to new users who are considering going with Straight Talk (ST), I suggest you do it. Its way cheaper than AT&T and you still get their coverage and not to mention unlimited data**. You can get the Straight Talk SIM card via their Bring Your Own Phone (BYOP) program. You can get it at their website.
**You get unlimited data as long as you don't abuse your data connection.
Oh and if you are having trouble trying to get data/mms working on your cappy with ST, here are the APN settings.
1. Download APN Back up/ restore from the Play Store
Name: ST (or whatever you want)
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port: 80
Username: Not set
Password: Not set

MMSC: http:// mmsc. cingular. com (no spaces)
MMSC proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: Not set
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4

I use this with Froyo, Gingerbread, and ICS. It works perfectly!
Cheers and let me know if this helps you out.

Re:ST
I just got a Samsung sch-i727 put in ST sim and reloaded it since I had let it expire. Set apn up and I am now getting hspa+ expanded 4g signal. Fastest speed so far is 3.5mb. I highly recommend.

so I've got the n9000 Note.. and under APN type I don't have the option for default,supl,mms... just internet+mms, Internet and MMS. ?

Why no slashes? That's what ST recommended and I haven't had problems yet with my captivate. Thanks for the thread.

I use Straight Talk myself. Anyone find a way to down load APN backup and restore without using wifi? I would like to change ROM away from home, but don't know how to get data working without that app.

Thank you for the info. I did want to ask though if you can direct me to the forum post that explains whats needed to be done to flash my pantech burst P9070 at&t phone to Straight Talk?? I moved to Greensburg Kentucky and trying to find a service that will work on my phone in this area.

There is no need to flash your phone, as long as it runs android, you just follow the instructions above. Also straight talk has realized that people will do this anyways so now you can just buy a straight talk SIM card from their website and I'm sure they have instructions too.

HTC HD2 converted to Straight Talk
I followed the thread best I can for this, but my HD2 has diferrent sequence for input fields / cell blocks and I was unable to get it completed. The phone works well and the text works well, but no emails. I am a rookie at this technology, so be gentle on me. I purchased this outright at Walmart in 5/10 and the phone is unlocked.
I used this sequence: START > SEETINGS > MENU > ALL SETTINGS > CONNECTIONS > CONNECTIONS >
ADD NEW MODEM CONNECTION > ENTER NAME FOR CONNECTION (STRAIGHT TALK) > SELECT MODEM (GPRS). I completed this part.
ST provides the following instructions:
FIELD = SETTINGS
Name = straight Talk (completed)
APN = att.mvno (can not located this input field)
Proxy = proxy . mvno . tracfone . com (can not locate this input field)
Port = 80 (completed)
MMSC = http: // mmsc . cingular . com (can not locate this input field)
MMS Proxy = 66.209.11.33 (can not locate this input field)
MMS Port = 80 (can not locate this input field)
I really need to get this corrected. Then I would love to upgrade to newer Windows version.
Thanks A Ton - Scott

I can send mms but cannot receive mms. Everything else so far works. I've tried the settings listed here and none seem to work. I've tried with and with slashes. I've also tried the APN type setting. On my phone i have to manually enter the values listed aboce there is no drop down for that particular setting.
This on on my captivate running cm7.

Did you ever figure out how to recieve mms? I think it has something to do with cm roms, ive had this problem with cm7 and now cm9 on my gs3. THanks

All of a sudden lately my MMS have not been coming through. I just get a message that says I have a "download". When I click on it then it changes to "downloading" but after a few seconds goes back to either "download" or I get a message that I cannot retrieve the message.
I have gotten this a few times when I send myself an MMS just to test it. Im on AOKP milestone 6 and I think this started happening right after I upgraded to that. Last night I flashed back to JB 4.1 and it was still happening, so now I dont know what to do.

I have an HTC One X international on straight talk. Over the weekend August 11 to current, my data has been randomly disconnecting and same with mms. Every time someone sends me one, it says download but nothing happens after that.

Ok, so its not just me. Yes, it only just started happening within the last several days. I just spent an hour on the phone with google support trying to figure it out. Ended up doing a full reset and putting the phone back the way I want it right now but I still get the same MMS issue. At this point it has to be on ST's end of things.

Everything worked just fine until the weekend here in Indianapolis. I dug up a forum from 2011 on Howard Forum with similar issues but didn't want to respond to an old post.
And lately while browsing the web on data, I get an unable to connect to network error. If I refresh the page, it eventually goes.

Everything fine up here in Minneapolis St. Paul on Straight Talk. Streaming Pandora 20 minues here, browse the web, check Facebook all without any hault.
I'm using a separate APN setting specifically just for MMS and works great. I then have a 2nd setting to get data connection.

I have no problems with calls or data or streaming or anything other than not getting MMS at all. Would you kindly share your APN settings?

Here are the APN settings I used specifically to get just MMS: http://wirevalley.com/straight-talk-day-1/
When you enter in these APN MMS settings, you won't be able to physically "select" this APN setting. However, it still tells the phone how to route MMS properly.
Post your results! Let me know what you find out.
P.S. - I'm also using Android... hopefully you are too. Otherwise, not sure if the results will be the same.

Question: No DATA on US ATT Unlocked Eurospec

Just got my Note straight from the UK, unlocked. Been on the phone with ATT about 6 times. I can send and recieve calls, texts - but no DATA. They can't seem to figure out why it will not pick up the ATT Data Network. Sim, EIN all linked, but no joy.
I am a noob, sorry - any ideas. I hate to send the phone back.
Any ideas ?
Update - Funk2641's response below (no APN was entered) - fixed it the issue.
Still, ATT would not give me a 4G smartphone plan - even though the H+ shows up next to the clock ? Initial Speedtests look like the same as my Infuse, Atrix and 4S.
Thanks everybody (Funk2641) for your help ! I hope this thread saves some agony for many as this phone is hitting the states. Don't know if I will tread in Eurospec for the Nexus, as I will want to hold that one in my hand first.
Also, this is a great phone - speed, battery life and the screen is fantastic !

No, I will give it a try.
Thx.
please keep posted.....I'll be on Att Friday
I will follow this thread since I will also switch from T-mobile to AT&T.
I too have the same issues. I actually used a few different apns and got edge to work poorly, I sighed and told myself ICS would fix it all up better and to just enjoy the extra battery life of 2g now, God I hope a get this cleared up

Technically, the Note is just a big SGS2. There's no reason on the phone side you should be having a problem using the Cingular APN. I'm using a ISGS2 and a UK 3G Tab 10.1 on AT&T with no problem. It's either something with the provisioning of your account or your Note may not have the right bands (Asian?). The latter is unlikely if you ordered it from the UK. Try reseting the APN to default under network settings. Also, if you're on a legit 4G plan there's a specific APN that you can find on the ASGS2 forum.
Here is another APN that works, I had the same issue
For APN settings use the name ATT and then for APN the word phone. Leave everything else blank-what is needed will get filled in automatically. Click the APN when you finish adding it and the radio button turns green to indicate it is working. The advantage to this APN setting is it gives you clear access and data speeds are not limited by ATT.
Those apns didn't work and I too a would doubt my phone bring the Asian version,.this version of gingerbread has the option to suspend my data network from holding down the power button maybe the software isn't...... I don't know I have no clue but my apns are normal but when's search they don't come up
In the list automatically so something a wrong
and I came from a hspa+ phone so my plan is already to go, I called to double check
to op, glad you got it straightened out...who did you order from and how much?

I am on the iphone plan with unlimited data, worked just fine in galaxy tab original 7"
i tried using funks apn settings and i still have nothing, i came from an atrix where i always got H+ and now here are me speeds, my speed test was done in detroit, i live in NJ my ping was 317, U 144 kbps D 155 kbps, i have no idea what is wrong with this phone but att can get going on it, i called and they have nothing for me!!! i dont know what to do
What plans are you guys, please?
(Anyone on month to month $50 unlimited?
There are two different APNs to use depending on what data plan you're on. If you're using a MediaNet or Data for non-Smartphones plan (3G) you need to use the Cingular APN. If you're on a legit 4G plan you need to use the special APN for 4G phones. If you reverse it, you'll get no data. For those of you on the 4G plan, go in to the APN settings. When you press menu, there's a reset to default option. It should pull the 4G settings down automatically. If you're on a 3G plan don't do this and instead manually enter the below settings. If you do this correctly you should get data. If you have a quad-band phone and still can't get data it's something with your account settings and not the h/w.

[Q] Weird Net10 internet issue

I have an unlocked Bell Atrix HD and I'm using it with the NET10 AT&T SIM. I followed the NET10 APN setting instructions and it told me to use the following:
Name: net10
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port: 80
MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS Port: 80
I tried those settings and had no internet and no MMS. I removed the proxy and MMS proxy. I also tried removing the port for internet and MMS. Neither combination worked. I double checked my phone was unlocked by doing volume down + power and it says 'unlocked' on a black screen with white letters. I start trying all types of settings until I gave the T-Mobile APN a try (wap.tracfone). Internet worked immediately. MMS still doesn't work. I tried the T-Mobile and AT&T MMS settings with no luck. I did a speed test while tethering and it says AT&T Wireless Network Services so I know the SIM is for AT&T, plus the APN settings default to AT&T if I do restore default settings. I'm confused why the only APN that works is the T-Mobile 'wap.tracfone' one.
Anyone have good knowledge about this who is able to help me out?
I called NET10 and lets just say I have nothing to say about that..lol
Thanks,
Alex

Try taking your first proxy setting out (leave blank the one just under "APN") leave your MMS proxy as-is,
MMSC Should be http://mmsc.Cingular.com (type in the http:// that you left out)
For "MCC" use 310
For "MNC" use 410
See if that works for you

Have you guys set the APN type. My atrix HD wasn't getting data until I set it to the same as the stock att one except for DUN. After doing that and a reboot. It worked flawlessly.
note: the speed test app will not work for some reason. Only upload will register. If u want to run a speed test install flash for JB and go to speedtest.net.

[Q] Unlocked Samsung Captivate won't download MMS, even with the carrier correct APN,

Hello,
I have a Samsung i896 Captivate, which was originally with Rogers. I purchased it from a cell store second hand and unlocked. I am with Virgin Mobile. I have spoken to them about my issue that the MMS will not download. They say they're down loading but then never finish and eventually expire. Even as I added the APN according to the instructions from VIrgin, nothing has changed. Still not down loading MMS. They say that because the phone was not originally with Virgin they can't do anything about it. Is there anything I can do to get my MMS downloading even with my unlocked phone??? Please help and thank you for reading.

When you entered your APN, did you delete all the others first?
Being unlocked doesn't change much other than you can use it on any carrier. Did you check with them to see if they locked your MMS?
Also, MMS can only be downloaded on data (can't use wifi).

Thank you for your reply BWolf56! So I haven't checked with Rogers to see if they lock their MMS as they are not my carrier. (they were the original phone owners carrier) If I call them do you think they'll assist me even if I am not thier client?
When I entered the APN there were no previous APN entered so none to delete.
I turned off the Wifi and then turned my phone on and off, just to see if that made a difference...I don't even know what to expect will happen if I do find a fix. Will my pending (NOT expired) MMS be able to be down loaded?
Would you have any other suggestions as to how to fix this problem? I really want to receive these messages before they expire and am getting kind of desperate. Thanks again.

Thank you for your reply BWolf56! So I haven't checked with Rogers to see if they lock their MMS as they are not my carrier. (they were the original phone owners carrier) If I call them do you think they'll assist me even if I am not thier client?
When I entered the APN there were no previous APN entered so none to delete.
I turned off the Wifi and then turned my phone on and off, just to see if that made a difference...I don't even know what to expect will happen if I do find a fix. Will my pending (NOT expired) MMS be able to be down loaded?

Locked MMS would come from your current carrier so you would have to ask them.
Although, if you were on Wifi this entire time, it's normal it didn't work. As I mentioned earlier, you need to be on your data (3G/H) to download MMS. You should be able to redownload the pending ones, just hold over the MMS and hit redownload.

Out of curiosity, did you set two APN's? By the looks of it, there are two for Virgin - one for default and one for mms. I had the worst time doing a Rogers apn setup and eventually had to go to the default one and put default,text,mms,...etc for the type. Virgin might work the same. If you already have figured your problem out, then sorry for a late reply.

There should be 2 APNs indeed: Rogers' look like this:
Main APN:
Name: Roger #1
APN: internet.com
MCC: 302
MNC: 720
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
Leave everything else as is.
MMS APN:
Name: Rogers MMS
APN: rogers-core-appl1.apn
MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS port: 80
MCC: 302
MNC: 720
APN type: mms
APN protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
Leave everything else as is.
There's also a LTE one and couple others but aren't needed on our phone.
So yeah, Virgin should have something similar to those. And of course, gotta be on data (3G)
Let's hope that's all it is, I couldn't help but notice that the reference was "APN" instead of "APN's". I'm just finishing work on a Captivate and happen to have a Virgin acct so I'll try it shortly and see
Oh my. I am so sorry, I didnt even get close to trying my virgin acct on the captivate I was working on. The customer was hovering to get it back, so sorry for misleading. How did you make out ElleJay? did you finally get your unit going?

i had a similar problem a few months back and sporadically since. i talked to rogers and was advised to go into apn type and edit it to say - internet,mms instead or default,supl,mms
try it and exit then go back in and make sure it stuck. for some reason it takes more than one try sometimes.
hope that helps
Remember, they bought with rogers as original, but are trying to setup virgin...but yeah, the overall consencus is that they may be missing an apn setting and "of course, gotta be on data (3g)" lol. Now just more concerned as to whether its up and running.

Thank you,
I tried the one provided by s5Freak, sent a test mms (with picture), took 10 minutes to send, but it succeeded. Tried it again and it kept trying all night long-
will try yours as well XRange. Thank you!

That's the Apn I used for my S5, I could send mms from home in seconds, but couldn't send anything while on vacation in Florida. I use the same apn for my Nexus 5 and it's the same deal, so...
Isn't only band that work from Verizon phone on AT&T network the wcdma, are lte bands. As all of not most of sms, mms are over mobile network on AT&T not wifi. Forgive me if I said to much as its time to lay down, been up all night.

Looks like this did it. Thank you!
I flashed the phone with the alliance rom, and copied the same APN settings that worked before. But now it doesn't... .. .settings worked with Kitkat rom, don't work with Alliance. Any clues?
I know this is an older thread but for anyone who is still searching for a solution, as I was when I found this thread, changing the MMs Port from 80 to 8080 fixed the issue for me. I can now send pictures from my Verizon S6 that I am using on the AT&T network.
Ok so I tried every thing in this thread and nothing works. I have a Verizon unlocked galaxy s5 using it with att....everything works but mms...which I desperately need for work and other things. I've called att, Samsung and Verizon and no help from any. Please help!
Update to settings!
I have a verizon S5 and the data hasn't worked for the longest time with these settings. However, when I changed these settings:
Bearer: LTE
APN: PHONE
I was finally able to get H+ data and MMS. May be an old thread and resolved for the OP but hopefully may be of some help to others looking to fix it.

Hey! could you post all of your APN settings? I've been trying to get my unlocked s5 to let me use mms for some time now. Data works, just no mms.

I did a combination of XRange and Glock's settings to get my Verizon Note 4 working on AT&T:
Name: ATT Phone
APN: PHONE
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
Multimedia message proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
Multimedia message port: 8080
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: Not set
ATP type: default,admin,fota,mms,supl,hipri,dun,att
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Bearer: LTE
Mobile virtual network operator type: None
This get's me H+ service (no LTE). Data AND MMS work as well.
Give it a shot. I think Note 4 and S5 would work similarly. Hope that helps.
I was recently given an "old" Galaxy S5 (Verizon) by a relative and immediately impregnated it with an AT&T SIM. Problem: no data connection if WiFi was not available. I tried for an entire day to get rid of the "offline" message with no luck. Every combination of APN entries found via Google didn't work...until I came across this thread and the above suggestion. Changes made: 80 became 8080, and Bearer became LTE. Other entries were already in place. Success.
Next challenge: downgrading 6.0.1 so that I can root.
I just got back from the ATT Store. I have a Verizon Note 4 Unlocked Global and was on MetroPCS Family Plan, well the family is no longer so I needed to bail. I got the H only and no MMS/Internet. I called the guy back to ask if he is sure the IMEI is registered, he said yes as well as "You probably won't be able to use this phone."
Changing the APN to PHONE and Bearer to LTE worked. I have H+ now, which is painfully slow but at least it works. Thanks
Time to ditch the Note 4 and upgrade to something that won't cost $900

SM-T815Y OTA 6.0.1 update killed mms

This is solved.
The Phone Carrier found the solution and sent me a text.
As many others in many other places suspect, It is an APN issue. To me it looks like Samsung has made some assumptions about what the APN setting should be for different carriers and simply loads them in as part of the update. The sets the Network Operators to select automatically. Sometime this only gets close enough that the phone only makes call but not SMS or mms. sometimes SMS works too but many time the mms setting fail.
This is the USA solution for those using Straight Talk
Settings --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names -->> you should already have a Straight Talk
If you don't you will have to call the Tech Line for the complete list as this maybe somewhat device specific.
Change the following.
Name: Straight Talk
APN: RESELLER
PROXY: not set
PORT: not set
User name: not set
Password: not set
Server: not set
MMSC: http: //mmsc .mobile.att.net
MMS PROXY: proxy mobile. att. net
MMS PORT: 80
MCC: 310
MNC410
AUTH TYPE: not set
MMS APN TYPE: default.mms.supl
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming: IPv4/IPv6
Ok,
I did the OTA Update to Build Number MMB29K.T815YDVU2BPG5 ,,, Baseband version T815YDVU2BPE5 and mms has died.
Cannot send. If I try it takes 15-20 minutes for it to fail and give the failed message.
If I am sent an mms I get a message showing a download arrow and when I tap it, it takes about 5 minutes to get the "DOWNLOAD FAILED" message.
Things I have tried:
Checked APN setting with carrier. ---- They were correct
Deleted all other APN's from the system. ---- >> No CHANGE
Set APN protocol(s) to IPv4/IPv6 (carrier said it would be OK) ---->> NO CHANGE
Set Chrome to be the DEFAULT BROWSER ----->> NO CHANGE
Tried it in SAFE MODE ----->> still no mms send
The above should have done the next one but still tried the next one.
Deleted ALL other apps that had mms permissions--->> NO CHANGE
Things I have not tried:
Complete reset. Research says sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it works for a few hours and then mms fails again. Really big hassle.
Trying to ROLL BACK. Nothing about this looks easy or something a person without pretty high level knowledge and skills and access to a really good computer should attempt. This is especially true since I have one of the more unusual versions. The SM-T815Y (GSM LTE with a SIM card) and none of the other variations that have full phone capability were supposed to be available in the USA. Info for any version that isn't GSM LTE is probably useless since the hardware will be different. I get no WARRANTY SERVICE from Samsung. Cannot even register it with them. To get the original OS I have to download from foreign sites with all the perils that involve.
Hoping some else has some ideas I haven't tried short of a master reset.
