Does anyone have a T-Mobile Moto X running on Net10 (ATT network) and getting LTE working?
If so, what APN settings are you using?
I purchased a nano ATT Net10 SIM from a reseller who cut it down to size, and it came with instructions which make me believe it might be an old SIM because the enclosed directions said to use:
Name: NET10
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracphone.com
Port: 80
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS Port: 80
-----------------and additional info on various websites also suggest:
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Auth Type: PAP
APN Type: default,supl,mms
If I delete the main proxy listed above and leave it blank, I can connect with 4G (HSPA+) but don't see LTE coverage areas. If I don't delete the proxy, I get nothing.
The settings for a new ATT SIM are very different, and didn't seem to work at all. Is it possible to even get LTE with the old SIM? I'm new to this SIM game. If I have to get a new SIM, can my existing 30 days be transferred to a different card?
Also, for the first couple hours it all acted very wacky. It would work, and then all of a sudden put up the icons saying the phone didn't have a SIM card at all. I'd pop out/in the card and reboot, and it would come back. Lost it this way 3 or 4 times, but it hasn't happened in a number of hours now. Would this suggest the cut-down nano SIM wasn't the best trimming job?

Is the LTE symbol lighting up? Mine came from Quality One Wireless in FL for $0.99 (http://www.net10wirelessphones.com/Net10-sim-card-byop-kit.html). Don't know if it's the same seller as you had on ebay. Did yours come with a red activation card showing the settings you used, or ones more like the ones I listed? I found more information about settings which made me try the one I have at: http://www.prepaidphonenews.com/2012/09/how-to-setup-straight-talk-data-and-mms.html

Good settings are the ones that work. Your mileage may vary.

I got same problemas here.
The tfdata APN don't work on my moto x .
But the mvno APN works but h+ no LTE any help?

I'm on NET10, and I run the stock APN settings given by the NET10 app on the Playstore, I was too lazy to reinput some of my old crazier APNs.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tracfone.net10.datasettings&hl=en
I get LTE, and everything functions accordingly.
Don't worry about the sim card, I cut mine by hand, it takes a few bits to set up the radio and all the fit bits within. After the first day, everything is fine.

The tfdata (the APN that's also provided through the NET10 app in the Play store) APN is the correct one for getting LTE. I had the same problem, as I was unable to get data on tfdata and only getting HSPA+ on the wap.tracfone APN. I called the BYOP support line (1-855-333-CELL) and they verified I had the tfdata APN settings correct, then "updated my line." Boom, LTE.

I'll give that a try soon. Got a new nano SIM I stamped out of a micro directly from NET10 and not a reseller. Need to port my existing Verizon number out via Google Voice and sell an existing Verizon Unlimited Data plan via an AoL before picking up NET10 again. Found HSPA+ pretty good during my trial run, so it should be even better with LTE. During my test I think the old SIM I was using created the problem as nothing using tfdata worked at all.

I'm really pleased with the HSPA coverage, so much that I would've left it as is if I could've gotten MMS to work. It's nice having that fallback, especially indoors or out in the boonies.
I bought my SIM from Wal-Mart. Strange, I would've expected SIM cards from official channels would work better than the reseller ones.
I have a verizon moto x and I purchased the $35 att prepaid plan. No matter what APN I try I can't get data to work. Can anyone help me out with this?

Thought I remember reading somewhere that Verizon Moto X was SIM unlocked for international use only. Sounds like the kind of thing Verizon would do.
Not to sound like a douche, but this has been discussed many many times, and the answer is: Older Verizon handsets were "international" meaning they had international bands but wouldn't work on US networks. That's since changed, as now all Verizon phones that have GSM capabilities are unlocked for US networks and international GSM too.
The issue the OP is having is not based on the network working at all, it's that his data specifically won't connect. OP, I'd double check all the possible APN's you could find online and see if changing them would work. Remember, H+ is all you'll get on a VZW Moto X that's on ATT's network.

I'm happy with hspa+ but I can't get the APN settings to save.
It could ultimately be an issue with the way VZW "modified" the firmware. When on VZW's network, APN's aren't editable at all. I'm assuming you're able to edit them as you're saying that the APN's won't save, but sounds like it's giving you the option to edit them.
Try these various APN's
Code:
APN: phone
mmsc: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
mms proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri

I've tried these but it won't save
I haven't cancelled my verizon line yet. Would that affect anything. Do I have to do a factory reset before using another carriers Sim?
EDIT:
May try using something like an app to modify the APNs, such as this > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweakker
That's honestly the only thing I know, if the phone won't let you add them from the system settings.
You shouldn't have to FR the phone just to use another SIM. If that were the case, then using the phone globally wouldn't work right as the APN's wouldn't sync up. I don't think that having the line active on VZW would hurt it either because ultimately, the device needs the SIM to even register on a CDMA network, let alone LTE.
There's bound to be a way to save the APN's properly. If it's allowing you to add them, then there should be a way to save them. Does it give you the 3-dot menu button? Or a button at the bottom to save or anything?

Yes there's the 3 dots then save. When I click save it goes to the main APN screen and there is no APN profiles there.
Just to confirm, you're typing a name for the APN right? Make sure that under mobile networks, the network type is set as LTE/GSM (or Global, I forget the option), and that roaming is allowed, and then try the APN. I wish I had my ST SIM active so I could test this with you.

Yes I am typing a name for the APN. I'm on the $35 feature go plan. Its possible it may not work on the moto x but it should still let me create a APN right?

maybe its a lockout function from the sim/carrier at that point? no idea.. sorry i'm just throwing out random guesses now.
So i just got an S5 through Swappa at a great price(540.00) and bought an Straight talk sim (6.99). it took all of a 30 min to port my current Straight talk phone number to my new phone. I get LTE and MMS is working. I would definitely recommend this process to anyone. now we just need root.

You don't have to root or unlock your AT&T phone to use it on straight talk, but you have to make sure to order the AT&T compatible sim card off straight talk's website.
My recommendation would be to buy a Tmobile S5 and use it with straight talk, that way you won't be stuck with a locked bootloader
Sounds similar to the US version of UK's Three SIM only plan.
£18PM for 5000 mins 5000 texts and unlimited 4G.

"Devoid" Thank you for your prompt response in regards to my Query.
Tmobile sim won't be able to get 4G LTE thru Straight talk network , Max they can do is HSPA+ with Tmobile phones, that is the reason i am going with ATT.
What is Locked Bootloader ? Does that affect any of talk , text or data ?
Please advise...and thank you again.

Basic Question!
So I am new to this site, and was just wondering if the AT&T Samsung s5 will work for Straight Talk. I already have service for straight talk, just looking to upgrade my phone. if I was to buy a s5 for full price from a site (eBay for example), would it work!? If it does, are there any certain things I need to be looking for when purchasing a phone (unlocked/locked)? I'm not a very tech savy person, so if I could get a pretty straight-forward response that would be great!

I rooted with Towelroot a couple days ago. I bought it for full price from AT&T as a GO phone 27 days ago. I asked them in the store if I would be able to switch it to straight talk, and they couldn't give me an answer. When I turn on my phone, it shows an unlocked lock, and has since I got it. Is my phone already unlocked and capable of moving to straight talk? Do I just need to buy the straight talk sim? Or can I just move my phone over by buying a month's service and changing my settings as the earlier posts in this thread? I'd appreciate some help. This is my first time rooting a phone on my own as well, so if anyone knows where some mods are for it, I'd like to know. I haven't found any that are conformed yet.

Your AT&T phone is ready out of the box for Straight talk, no need to root or unlock, because Straight talk is a AT&T MVNO, it uses the same towers. Just make sure you purchase the AT&T sim card from Straight talk (NOT THE TMOBILE, they sell both)
Just pop the new straight card sim in,and just adjust the APN setting and manually enter in the posted info for the APN setting and everything work, phone data, mms, data all at 4G LTE speeds.
its the best alternative for an AT&T phone, other MVNO, caps data speeds to 8mbps ( cricket ) but Straight talk doesn't cap data speed, but ping times are longer than direct AT&T service, it takes a couple of seconds before data connects, not really noticeable, but for $47 bucks a months total, It cant be beat.
It's working.

I tried to get it to work through the straight talk website, and it told me there is no service for my zip code. It also wouldn't accept my IMEI. I called the straight talk number, and 2 separate associates had the same issue, and got stuck where you enter the MEID/IMEI. They put their supervisor on, and he got it working immediately. My service is consistently between 2 and 4 bars. Never 1, never 5. Internet is working well, haven't been able to check LTE yet, cause my town doesn't have it. I love straight talk. **** AT&T GO phone-2.5 gigs of data for $60/month. I'll go with unlimited/$48.

It happened to me before when I was trying to fix friends' Android phones. I'm an iPhone guy, who owns a Galaxy S5 Active and who wanted to try out an Android phone. I was never able to figure out a solution for not being able to receive MMS (but able to send). I'm on the verge of leaving Android(iot) forever. Haven't been able to figure out a way to share Internet's connection via Bluetooth.
I'd suggest try installing the ST APN app from PlayStore and see if that helps. If not, you're out of luck and have to call ST CS, prepare with loads of patience.
Upgrading from ATT S3 to ATT S5
I have an old AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3, I bought it slightly used, locked, with a clear/clean ESN. I then ordered the Straight Talk Micro Sim Kit for it, ported, updated the APN settings, and all has been well. I want to buy a used S5 now that the prices are dropping due to the S6 being released within the next month. My question is, will I be able to just pop in my S3's micro sim into the S5 and be good to go? Can the phone be locked, or must AT&T now be unlocked to work in Straight Talk? Are there any other obstacles that will prevent me from utilizing the phone fully, SMS messaging, 4g data, etc.? So much changes in a few short years, I just want to get a full idea of what I'm in store for with upgrading to a new phone. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks!
This is the only format that worked for me..
I gave an S5 Active and no matter what guide I used to set up my data, either I did not get LTE, or could't send pictures, receive pictures, and so on.. even ST tech support couldn't get this going for me. I am in Dallas TX if it matters.. Anyhow.. I decided to try and mix some of these fields with others from elsewhere and BINGO.. everything works perfect... all I did was change the mmsc to another..
So if all else fails.. try this format.. might save you some headache..

I've tried to ask this on reddit but I could not get any help. I have seen a thread on the nexus 6P but not for the nexus 6. WiFi calling does not activate, I have metropcs but I've seen people have WiFi calling activated on metro. It does say IWLAN on sim status but I can't make calls or texts. I have tried many WiFi networks and have flashed the stock image but still can't connect. E911 address is updated as well. http://imgur.com/a/6ZP9h I am on chroma 12/10, i manually flashed 6.0.1 stock, i also used the tmobile lollipop image for wifi calling and not luck, any help? Thanks

I recently got a Huaweii Nexus 6p about a weak ago and this was the one feature i needed the most due to poor reception in some parts of my home. After many days so searching xda, t-moble subreddit, and other help forums. I also made many calls to customer service and still getting no result. As of the other day i can confirm that I've found a solution.
1. Submit your e911 address to metropcs. You can the my metro app from the playstore or call customer service and give it to them so they can put it in the system manually.
2. Go into the apn settings and maually delete each default metro pcs apn one by one. After deleteing them you should notice that the apns will default to showing t-mobile's apn settings. (Ex: T-MobileGPRS, T-Mobile IMS, T-Mobile MMS)
3. Click on the first apn that says "T-MobileGPRS" that is the setting we will edit. The other apns you can leave as is.
4. Once in the T-MobileGPRS setting change the Name from T-MobileGPRS to "MetroPCS".
5. Change the the APN from fast.tmobile.com to "fast.metropcs.com" . Leave all other settings as is and then save the changes.
After that give it a few minutes then you will notice it says "T-Mobile Wifi Caliing" make a test call and you should see in the dialer screen "wifi calling". From the there you will be good to go!
** I can also confirm that this solution also activates VoLTE and data and mms also work with not issues at all!

I tried this and it did not work.. are you on band 12? It says I am on band 4. I'm not sure what to do, Volte did not work. It used to work with the same sim card on metropcs on my nexus 6.

Alright looks like you have the same setup i did. I stumbled upon this new configuration after the original solution I had posted stopped working. So with your current apn settings
1. Delete all the the Metro PCS 260 apns.
2. From there you should only have the default T-Mobile apns that list T-Mobile GPRS, T-Mobile IMS, T-Mobile MMS.
3. Edit the "T-Mobile GPRS" apn and save the following configuration:
Name: MetroPCS
APN: fast.metropcs.com
Proxy: <Leave in Blank>
Port: <Leave in Blank>
Username: <Leave in Blank>
Password: <Leave in Blank>
Server: <Leave in Blank>
MMSC: <Leave in Blank>
MMS proxy: <Leave in Blank>
MMS port: <Leave in Blank>
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: <Leave in Blank>
APN type: default,supl
APN Protocol: ipv6
APN Roaming Protocol : ipv4
Bearer: unspecified
MVNO Type: None
from there save this apn.
4. Create another apn to the list with the following configuration:
Name: MetroPCS 260
APN: fast.metropcs.com
Proxy: <Leave in Blank>
Port: <Leave in Blank>
Username: <Leave in Blank>
Password: <Leave in Blank>
Server: <Leave in Blank>
MMSC: (add in the http:// before)mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc

MNC: 260
Authentication type: <Leave in Blank>
APN type: ia
APN Protocol: ipv4/ipv6
APN Roaming Protocol : ipv4/ipv6
Bearer: unspecified
MVNO Type: None
Save this apn when done.
5. From there you should have this list of apns: MetroPCS, MetroPCS 260, T-Mobile IMS, T-Mobile MMS.
Make sure the MetroPCS one is selected( The 1st in the list)
Almost forgot. To enable SMS texting over wifi:
--Go to Dialer; then dialpad
--dial *#*#4636#*#*
--Phone Information
--Turn on SMS over IMS.
From there if you once your done restart your phone and connect to a wireless network. And wait a few minutes then it should work from there. I used this setup and i can confirm that both wifi-calling is working & VoLTE. Let me know if this worked for you.

Ok so I tried this and then I had no data connection. After some time all I had was H. I then tried enabling wifi and putting on airplane mode with wifi enabled.. phone said connect to a network to make a call. To get my data and mms back I had to remove all the APN's and reset to default. I left the three tmobile ones there and added the mmsc (http://mms.msg.eng...) to the Metro 260 apn and now I have LTE again and my MMS is working as well as texts.
I guess its because I am on band 4? If you download LTE Discovery what band does it say you are on? This is weird at least I had Volte on the nexus 6 with the same sim card on metropcs.
I have the Project Fi Android One version of the Moto X4 and AT&T service, and I was wondering if anyone else uses this model on AT&T and has gotten LTE to work? I've been in touch with AT&T support, gave them the IMEI, gone through the APN settings, etc. but could never get LTE to work. I do have HSPA(+?) working, but would really like LTE. The sim card I'm using is the same one that I previously had in my old Nexus 5 and it was able to use LTE. If anyone did get it to work, could you let me know the steps you took? Thanks.
Mine worked out of the box on Cricket (AT&T) with no problems. Do you know what bands AT&T uses in your area for LTE?
Any joy on this?

I've not got a solution as I've not hooked-up on Fi yet.
HOwever, I'd like to know that, if the Fi network doesn't do what I need it to, I can go back to ATT (The Devil I Know)
So, I'd like to know if you've had any luck resolving this.

I used FreedomPop's GSM SIM which uses AT&T and had no issues. Initially it may come up as H+, but it will settle into LTE usually within a few hours.

I used my Fi x4 on Cricket (AT&T MVNO) for a couple of weeks to use up my prepaid time before I activated on Fi and LTE worked fine for me also. I think it's probably something on AT&T's side, keep calling them or go into a store and bug them until they straighten it out. There's no technical reason why it wouldn't work.
