Punctuation please.
Are you saying data works for a while then stops? Or that it just doesn't work at all.

Are you certain you're using the right apn? Check to make sure it's not automatically going back to default apn. I know several people would add a custom apn but when they'd check on it, it would have changed back to default settings.

Found my Problem
SO apparently the 50$ unlimited plan (no bandwidth throttle) is not unlimited. i called them up and they said my account is flagged as "high bandwidth user" so yeah unlimited≠unlimited
It's called throttling. Technically you can still use all you want. It's just at dial up speeds now.

nope they literary told me no internet until end of cycle not throttling literary CUT OFF
Ouch.
That sucks.

I assume you mean you cannot send MMS as sms is text and you said that worked ..
Try a different SMS/MMS like GO SMS or Handcent ... this is kind of a known issue, if you are on wifi calling it will not work ...
No I mean regular SMS not mms I get data and I can still make and receive calls It just sits on sending

Next time call Tmobile, and have them refresh the data profile on their end, works like a dream.

i was just reading that hahah o well you live and learn i guess its time to play and setup the phone again how i like it
To save a few bucks I use Google Voice exclusively. One thing that I hate about GV is that the ui is lacking and the text messages are treated like emails not like text message in the sense that I can have 20 conversation with my Mom or Girlfriend as opposed to the stock messaging app where they are all together. Another annoyance was that I couldnt get the GV notification/notification on lock screens. This app basically uses your stock messaging app to send GV messages. You still cant send mms. You can choose to send either native message or Google Voice. This is a trial version. The developer says this May not work for all roms. Oh yeah you have to be rooted.

GTalk & GVoice aren't designed to "send" media (say a picture) in the same way MMS goes about it.
You could always just use your GMail app and tap labels, to switch to the chats/gv label & read your sexy messages to your mom.....errrrrrr my bad, girlfriend I meant to say.
I save my contacts number. Then I text them Through Gvoice and when they reply I get their Gvoice number and I just save and edit that into their contacts. And I just text them thru the stock messaging app and receive messages there like normal.

Was doing that when I had prepaid plan with unlimited text. Now that I am on the value plan I just don't pay for it at all, hence I use GV and now I can use the stock messaging ap

I'm currently on the prepaid plan with unlimited text and data with 100mins.
What is ur value plan and how does it save u money. Can u explain further I'm kind of confused. I was thinking about switching plans.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I pay about 60 for unlimited data and 500 minutes plus free wifi calling, nights and weekends. I got tired of having only 100 minutes paying for. 10/minutes. Or dealing with voip apps which don't always work. I also pay an extra 20/month. Since I can't buy the gs3 upfront. Before I had the payment plan and the unlimited data I was paying about 50/month
Sent from my SCH-I110 using xda premium
Oh okay that makes sense. Yeah the low voice minutes r hard to not go over but I really need the data. I can't afford that much for an individual plan as I'm a student but I have been trying to get a good deal and get a family plan.

After using this ap for a month I can say this fails. At first it was too good to be true, then people started not getting my text, I wasn't receiving theirs, I would get duplicates randomly, sometimes my whole GV inbox would start crouding my text message inbox. Needless to say uninstalled now waiting for my GV number to be ported to T-Mobile so tired of GV lol

That never happened to me I never even use the voice app just the stock messaging one. How did u get our number to port and did cost to port it ?

Yeah. This app flat out blows.
It cost $3 for google to unlock your number so it can be ported out.

Does anyone else have issues using GVoice for voicemail? With every other phone I've had its been a 10 second setup, but with every rom I've tried on my S3 I can't get it to work.

Initially it cost me $20 to port my cell number to GV. Unfortunately, when I switched from Sprint to TMO, I could no longer use my cell number as my GV number.
Although since I have a 808 area code and now live in 843 area code, my new GV number is 843 area code.

MMS not working
Hi, I received my device a few weeks ago, direct from T-Mobile as a replacement, and immediately used the motochopper method on my mac to gain root on my SIII with LTE. I am not running any custom roms. Yet I cannot send a MMS message. It just spins forever; trying to send. I have verified that my micro SIM card works properly and my device has the correct APN settings according to T-Mobile USA (I have tried both fast.t-mobile.com and epc.tmobile.com without any luck). I have uninstalled AdAway and turned off CPU Tuner, LBE Privacy Guard, and Lookout. The only other rooted apps I have installed are BusyBox, SuperSU, Greenify, AutoKiller Memory Optimizer, Mobile ODIN, ROM Manager, SystemHelper, Titanium Backup, Delayed Lock, and Voodoo OTA RootKeeper. Is there an app that can assess my configurations to determine what is causing the MMS failure? I do not believe the device is faulty. I tried using Go SMS Pro and Handcent SMS with out any luck as well. Thanks in advance!
I would start over. Back up your important data and factory reset (you wont lose root). I have a feeling it may have something to do with one or more of the apps you just listed, like LBE, auto killer, etc or possibly a combination of them. Start completely clean and test if you can send/receive normally. If so, install one app at a time testing each one.
If it continues w/o any apps installed, then call T-Mobile and ask them to reset your account. See if they have any ideas if that doesnt work. Id also replace the sim at a T-Mobile store. Theyll swap for free if yours could be faulty.

Have you tried changing the apns?
Might call tmo and check if it's been blocked.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Wouldn't be able to send/ receive calls/ SMS if it was blocked. Verify apns, if the person you bought it from wasn't previously using it with the carrier you're currently using it with, they'd be wrong.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Go under settings, more network, mobile network, then access point and see if there is a tmobile apn listed. If so make sure it's listed. If not, then menue and reset to default. That should work.

My girlfriend just got the s4 from her mom, it's originally a Verizon phone but it's unlocked. She put in her t mobile sim and everything else works fine, calling, receiving calls, receiving text, Internet. But as soon as she tries to send out a text, it fails everytime instantly. She tried calling t mobile and visiting the store but they were no help. Anyone know how to fix this?

This happened to me when I first used a Sprint Galaxy S4 and then took it to MetroPCS. I had to enter the APN info for T-Mobile and then set the APN as active. go to settings,more networks, mobile networks, access point names and create your new APN by tapping the PLUS sign. Save by tapping the bottom left hand button.

Did the Verizon phone save your APN? I know for a fact that SPRINT phones are stuffed full of proprietary references to Sprint servers.

Is your phone rooted? If so, I would try Titanium Backup and try freezing an app called VZWSetup. I did something similar on my wife's S3 and it worked well for using the phone with other carriers.........

Along with the APN, make sure the Message Center number is the correct one for T-Mobile: +12063130004
This should be in the Messaging app under Settings.

I am glad the last responder brought this up. Sometimes you will see proprietary Verizon and Sprint APPS that will not allow you to change the Voicemail either. If there is a Verizon Voicemail program I would freeze it too. As far as rooting your phone? No big deal.
