Hello,
What are the best APN settings for The GS2?
What is the best Radio for me to use?
I'm using a ATT SIM because there is no Tmobile Service in my area.
Is it possible to get 4g speeds with the ATT SIM with straight talk?
Thanks Guys,

Does anyone know if lte will still work if I flash my phone to straight talk?
I know you can't access Verizon lte with straight talk but I plan on using straight talk for talk text and 3g. Then I will also use a prepaid Verizon lte sim card for 4g lte speeds when available.
Thanks in advance

Didn't really help i think that article is talking about Verizon Global phones (gsm/cdma). I'm positive CDMA phones can be flashed to Straight talk's CDMA network. My question is will i get 4gLTE from Verizon if i used there sim card since 3g(straight talk no sim card required) uses one radio and 4glte(Verizon) uses another.
I know this is an old thread but yes you can flash it to straight talk but no you won't get 4g unless you have a way to switch from nv mode to ruim and you have to keep the sim card active. Meaning your paying extra for it
I would like to use my T-Mobile Galaxy S3 on Straight Talk on the AT&T network. I'm currently using Solavei running under T-Mobile's network, but T-Mobile isn't cutting it in my area. I really want to run on the AT&T network. Solavei only runs on TMO.
TMO is great when I can get 4G but it sucks when others in the same physical location can get AT&T to 4G and TMO is E or G network.
Examples of where AT&T is working great but TMO isn't are: up in the canyons (Millcreek, SLC, Utah), over the dunes at the beach (Topsail, NC), at my house (SLC, UT).
Questions:
1. Can I do this? Run a T-Mobile Galaxy S3 on Straight Talk on the AT&T network?
2. If so, If I buy a sim from Straight Talk what does it take to make sure it runs on the AT&T network and not on TMO? I'd really hate to go through all that and still end up on TMO and not AT&T. I've already had an AT&T sim running in my Galaxy S3 and everything was working great. I just didn't want to pay AT&T prices.
3. I've heard that Straight Talk will switch from TMO to AT&T depending on what area on the country you live in. Is this true? Is there anyway to override this?
4. I've heard that you can't buy AT&T sims anymore from Straight Talk. There seems to be a market now for AT&T sims that were available at the beginning of the year but are not now.
PS: I'm trying to do this for the TMO Note 2 also.
Yeah you can use tmobile's straight talk on at&t network. Just pop in sim and select roaming and available network select at&t. Should connect no problem

You have to SIM unlock your phone first as it won't take an at&t SIM out of the gate - either call T-Mobile for the code or you can follow this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2023709
Note that if you are the latest radio (MD5), you will have to downgrade it to LJC or LJA for the radio unlock option to appear - the radio images can be found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880987
That trick works on the Note 2 as well, however, I don't know if the radio is an issue with the Note 2 you will have to check the Note 2 forum but chances are if Samsung updated it, you will have to downgrade the radio to get the option back.
StraightTalk will not sell you a SIM for at&t if you don't have at&t service in the area - at&t's StraightTalk SIM does not roam on T-Mobile except rarely as at&t's roaming agreement with T-Mobile is extremely limited.
One final thing, I wish you good luck. StraightTalk was a horrible experience for me and at&t throttles you like nobody's business. On the plus side though, Tracfone's wholesale contract with at&t means that you get access to their POSTPAID network which means you get better coverage than at&t's own prepaid or any other MVNO of at&t for that matter.

This is not what the OP was asking. He wants to switch his T-Mobile branded S3 with T-Mobile branded service to StraightTalk using an at&t SIM and service.
Hello,
Is there any way to use a S3-i747 on the straight talk network? I know ST sells CDMA phones I just didnt know if it was possible to switch over a carrier branded CDMA phone.
Thanks for any advice in advance
Hello guys I have looked all over the internet with no luck. Can anyone show me a tutorial on how to use my HTC Rezound 4g lte verizon phone on the verizon pre pay 3g network? Thanks in adavnce.
Thinking of buying a tmobile m8 to use on metro pcs
Can anyone else with this setup confirm that the phone does work with metro include lte and everything? Thanks for any responses.
Also if you're someone who had their m8 on tmobile or even att and switched to metro, hows the network speeds compare?
I'm on neither T-Mob nor MetroPCS. But just wanted to pass along what I've read here. My understanding, MetroPCS uses T-Mob's network, so a T-Mob version should support MetroPCS bands out of the box.
Not sure if you need to unlock the SIM, and you may (probably) also need to manually enter the MetroPCS APN settings to get data and MMS to work.
