Just remember not to go over 2gb... It is "unlimited" web browsing, not unlimited data.

My understanding is that if you are using a "tfdata" APN Sim card, you should be able to get LTE.

Straight talk "unlimited" is $45 a month...
You just have to read the fine print. I know they do not "allow" tethering and I know they say it is unlimited web browsing not unlimited data. It works great for me as I am on Wi-Fi 90% of the time. But now when I am not I am happy to get LTE speeds.

I just did exactly what you did! Ive been using my unlocked atrix hd on st for quite a while now and as soon as I saw that lte is available through them, I bought a new sim card.
I just got the card today and activated it but I cant find the right apn. Could you please either post the apn your using or a link to where you got it? Thank you very much.

You may also have to change settings in the *#*#4636#*#* menu to enable LTE.
It also took several hours for the LTE to show up with several reboots to see if I could force it.
I went on the st website and tried entering my serial number and my phone number. It kept saying "there is no info for that number. It could be because there is no info for this device or this number is not activated."
So I had to search google and piece together my own apn. I tried one and got lte right away with excellent speeds but no mms. I'll try yours and see if it fixes my mms because it is slightly different than mine.
Ill update as soon as I try it. Thanks for the info

*UPDATE*
My apn is not a lot different from yours, harsho1. So I decided to just change one thing at a time and see what worked. With my apn, I was testing my mms by texting my wife who has an android. She didnt get any texts. I made one little change to my apn and texted her again and it didnt work. Now my sister in law is at my house and she has an iphone. I texted her and it works fine. I guess Ill have to keep adjusting.

I just switched to straight talk when I saw they had LTE on att. I'm waiting for my last bill cycle to end on my sprint account. I have 4 months left on my contract and can't wait to call and cancel and pay them 100 bucks for cancelation. LTE is so much faster on att in my area than sprint. I'm averaging 16-20 down and on sprint only 3-5 down on LTE. I found someone selling a HTC first near me for 80 bucks so I bought it and threw in the straight talk Sim and bam.! I'm always on WiFi and only on LTE when I go out saturday nights and need nav or go on instagram and Facebook. I'm loving the 45 bucks a month and not 85 bucks for crappy service on sprint. Looking onto buying an atrix HD from a buddy for 100 bucks.

$5.99 T-Zones still working fine here. Been with T-Mo for, wow about 8 years now. Used the same plan and SIM with my Treo 650 (and Handspring VisorPhone before that) until I got my N1 in January 2010.
Only have 300 min and 400 sms per month, but it's more than I need with unlimited data. Bill is only $44/mo including fees.
Always had good experiences with T-mo customer service too. The thought of them being swallowed by AT&T makes me want to cry.
I'm sure if the deal goes through the T-Zones ride will end.

There is no more t-zones available to new customers. But I believe you can still get the web2go which is $10/month. I am using that right now and the best way to get it is through it's website.

I had the same problem. I remember seeing someone else in the same boat in another thread (maybe another forum?) weeks ago. His problem was fixed when he replaced the sim card he got with an lte one. I thought that applied to me as well, but that wasn't the case cause I got lte service when I traveled to neighboring cities.
This morning I heard that at&t finally rolled out lte to my city. I turned my data on to check and sure enough I got lte service from my home. I also checked the circles widget and data magically appeared on it. Now it's on there even when data's off. I guess you just have to be in an lte area.

I'm using my phone with Straight Talk and we have no LTE at all, anywhere, and my data widget has always worked.
Sent from my A200 using xda premium
Mine does that periodically on/around my contract refresh every month. Dial #data*# to check your data usage, and soon enough it should go away. It also did it to me when I was switching from ICS to JB back to ICS. Should fix itself.
I have lte coverage where I'm at. And if I hear one more person tell me to *data# I'm gonna lose it lol. That's what each person at Att on the phone and in store said. I'm aware of that. I want to see it in my widget not wait for a damn text. I could just go to the att app also.

That depends if you're using a TMobile/Straight Talk sim, or an AT&T/Straight Talk sim. Straight talk uses both networks for their sim program, and uses Verizon with their cdma phones.

I signed up for AIO Wireless on Friday (Aug 16) here in Houston. Just for that day, I got LTE reception from AIO.
Starting Aug 17 (next day), I am not getting any LTE reception. When I go to Network app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network), it displays that I am on WCDMA band. Interesting thing is that I can not change that band.
When I was on AT&T, I was able to move from WCDMA to LTE/GSM/WCDMA and vice versa.
My question is - if there is anyone who is not getting LTE on AIO in Houston/Miami?
Also - any help on getting my phone provisioned to LTE would be great !
You can't change it in your phones network settings or the secret phone menu?

I am on stock AT&T rom (with root and unlocked b/l). I tried *#*#4636#*#* but it is not working from phone app.
There is no other setting to choose band or carrier in settings.
Is there an alternate way to execute secret command?
It sounds like a bad sim card. Also, download an app called lte on/off for thunderbolt. It will take you to the secret settings menu that AT&T blocks access to from the dialpad. It works on phones other than the thunderbolt.

I tried that without luck..Network app that I used is same as that...may be that's the secret menu that AT&T blocks...which is accessible from Network or LTE ON/OFF app...
Get pimp my rom and under tools there is access hidden menu which will get you there also. You don't have the network mode option under mobile networks?
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
It should take you to a testing menu the first of which is phone information. It is the same as you get by dialing *#*#info#*#* if you can get to that menu and it won't let you switch to LTE/GSM/WCDMA, then it probably is a sim issue.

All is well...phone got automatically re-provisioned and now can log on to LTE when available.
One thing to note though, LTE speeds are capped at 6-7 mb!

You may activated your net10 sim card after Tracfone/Straighttalk/Net10 have included LTE service to the plans. New activations got the LTE provisioned, unlike me.

Yeah, I swapped the SIMs for that very reason. They've got it advertised on their site now. My old SIMs also used the old wap.tracfone APN, so now I've got stable MMS.
