So I just left tmobile this morning and ported my number to straight talk (using an At&T micro sim card). I am having issues getting mms to work. I tried the APN settings from straight talks website but nothing worked (no data, no mms). I searched a bunch of forums and found an APN setting that gets me data, but no mms. Anyone else have the Tmobile Samsung Galaxy S3 (non LTE) that switched to Straight Talk At&t sim card and have everything working?
Thanks in advance.
Is your Data Connection working ? Ask Straighttalk for their correct APN Settings. They do control MMS.

I have data working using apn wap.tracfone
On simply talks website the apn settings don't work, no data or mms
Wap is a very ancient APN. Please call customer Service for correct settings.

So i have searched and searched but have not found something that works. I have an unlocked USCC Touch Pro 2 that i am using on Tmobile. Calls and Text work fine but when it comes to MMS and Data i am stuck. Whenever i try to send an MMS i get a Box saying there is no data connection. I even installed a preconfigured tmobile MMS cab. Still no luck. Can someone help me with the data settings? Thanks.

Is this a US Cellular phone? I'm surprised that a CDMA phone works on T-Mobile's (GSM) network at all... But if you can receive calls then I guess it does.
The data setting for T-Mobile -- the APN -- is epc.tmobile.com
So...if you have a place under Settings>Connections>Manage/Edit existing connections for APN or Access Point Name then epc.tmobile.com is it for data.
I don't know about MMS...I don't use it.
Its a CDMA/GSM phone.
MMS is wap.voicestream.com

Did you try the APN I suggested and did it work -- did you get a data connection?
Anyone know of a CAB that does all this Data and MMS settings like a T-Mobile Carrier Provisioning?
Don't have LTE, so I created an APN for phone, gives me faster speeds with ATT and lets me use Onlive (blocked using the original APN). Noticed however visual voicemail only works with the LTE APN. any way to add it to my custom one?
Don't have a response to your question but I'm curious how you got the new APN to stick? On mine when I created another APN but it just keeps on defaulting to the "pta" APN.
My understanding visual voice mail is exclusively for LTE network. In fact, if you switch to LTE plan and go back to regular plan, you might endup with disabled voice mail.

I have no problem adding new APN and use it...
I wasn't aware there was a separate LTE plan?
That is strange. I wonder why I cannot set up an additional APN to connect to. Whenever it's selected, I can watch it get switched back after a few seconds...
Yeah, basically it's the same plan just has LTE in it's name.
If you have SQLite Edit (or something similar), you could try alter the APN manually.

I had the same issue with the phone APN not sticking. I followed the instructions from a thread in the Skyrocket forum about throttling that said to use phone for the APN name, internet for the APN type and leave everything else blank or default. How I ended up solving it was using the MMSC, MMS proxy, MMS port, and APN type entries from the pta APN and using them in the phone APN and after that phone APN would stick.
Also, I too am unable to get Visual Voicemail on the phone APN.
Thanks! I can't believe I didnt think about trying that. I just created the phone APN with the same settings as PTA and it works. I'm back on regular HSPA+ speeds since I'm not in an LTE area. For what its worth, visual voicemail works just fine for me.
Evening-
I too had some issues with the VVM not working and couldn't figure out why...even tried to use YouMail with no luck and finally logged into my account and reset the password for my V-Mail. I then re-set up the stock ATT VVM, deleted the forwarding YouMail installs and everything worked like a charm again.
I too setup the alternative APN (not in the LTE Market) and it stuck just fine...maybe try resetting the password/pin and see if that works. Good luck!
I have an unlocked Nokia Lumia 900 from Rogers. As I'm sure most people here know, getting MMS to function on an unlocked [Nokia] Windows Phone can be a hassle. I've tried hard resetting my phone, changing the APN, etc, and so far I've had no luck whatsoever. Can someone guide me through a process that will enable MMS to work? It's fairly important considering the number of messages I send/receive every day...
Download Network Setup from the Nokia collection. That will configure MMS.
It's not available in Canada, for whatever reason.

Sorry, there's no way to configure MMS without Network Setup.
Are you sure you have Tango?

Hi,
I had the same issue with Fido until another user on here helped me out. I called Fido and had them reset my data package. I believe the user called it re-provisioning. I have attached the link to the original thread. I just said I was having data issues which was not untrue because my data connection was extremely slow and that I had talked to someone who suggested reseting (re-provisioning) the data plan. After the re-provisioning the MMS started working and my Visual Voice mail (visiual voicemail through mms, not the windows phone as its not supported on Rogers from what I understand). In addition my data connection finally seemed to work correctly.
here is the link:

Hope that helps.

I'm trying to set-up MMS to work on T-Mobile USA. The problem is that the Network Setup app is missing some of the MMS APN settings fields, specifically, MCC, MNC and APN Type. Do you know of any way to work around this problem?

I ran the network setup app and everything works fine on TMo US. MMS & Data. The settings pane (Settings > Cellular > Edit APN info) remains blank, but the settings are there.

I don't know if u still care or not, but u can flash the Mexico's latest ROM (telcel or smth), you won't have LTE, but you'll have everything else functional (mms and tethering included)! And you'll also lose the rogers splashscreen... yay
Has anyone tried the Country Variant Mexico MX Black LTE V1???

Yes, I have. I tried both this one and the TelCel rom. Both of them allowed me to finally use internet sharing and MMS. I'm pretty sure LTE works on both roms too it is just shown as 4G instead of LTE and when you are on HSPA it shows H instead of 4G like with the stock Rogers rom (and probably AT&T too). When tethered and showing 4G as the connection on my phone, I have gotten 1.5 MB/s down and about 800 KB/s up so I'm pretty sure that's an LTE connection. When I went to the cellular settings and changed it to only use 3G data, I get about 150 KB/s down and 80 KB/s up.
I have a Sprint L720 Galaxy S4 that I am currently using with Metro PCS/T-Mobile. I have the correct APN settings, I can make and receive calls just fine. I can send texts and MMS just fine and receive texts as well. I can not receive MMS messages or texts with picture attachments.
I looked in the ##DATA# menu or ##3282# menu as I have my MSL number. If anybody here has used the L720 or nearly any fairly new Android with T-Mobile/MetroPCS can you please give me your working settings from the data menu?
I looked through the entire data menu and it is filled with Sprint.com this and sprint/mms/server that etc. I tried changing the most obvious things to T-Mobile's settings, but I know I am missing the crucial settings to allow me to send and receive texts with photo attachments. I tried the METROPCS fix here in the forums for the L720, but the files give errors when installing. I am certain that manually entering the settings from someone else's phone will work. There are a lot of settings in the ##DATA# menu, but it would take maybe five minutes to copy them down.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could give me their working info. T-Mobile said they simply do not have time to look those up as the data menu is too specific. The phones in the stores are not rooted not do they have the dialer app installed to get me to the data menu.
Thank you very much.

All you need are a few settings. Name the connection T-Mobile
Under APN input fast.tmobile.com
MMC 310
MNC 260
Everything else should be automatically filled in. Just input those settings and you're now able to connect to T-Mobiles LTE data.

I sincerely appreciate your response but I have since learned that the Sprint motherboard simply can not use all of the T-Mobile frequencies for LTE data. I was getting H+ which was not bad but I was hoping for more than the board was capable of.

My apologies was not reading carefully. Sprint's Mobile APN settings are different:

I've followed most of this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/help/guide-fire-phone-fireos-google-apps-t3206603) along with updating to 4.6.6, to set up my fire phone, and almost everything is working. I've activated the phone with a Cricket sim, and I can get internet and sms fine. I still can't get mms to send or receive. I've tried several different APN settings from the Cricket website and others. I've tried using the stock messaging app as well as handcent.
Is anyone else using Cricket with their fire phone and able to send/rec mms? If so, what are your APN settings?
My wife's fire phone is working with Cricket, including MMS. I think Cricket takes up to 24 hours to re-reoute SMS/MMS correctly. Maybe give it a day and see if it fixes itself.

So it does work. That's good news. Turns out my wife's BLU phone doesn't work either. It's been over a week since she switched. Would you mind looking at the APN settings and telling me if they match these (taken from https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup...e-byod/customer/bring-your-own-android.html):

APN: ndo
Proxy: Not Set

MMS Proxy: proxy.aiowireless.net
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 150
Authentication type: Not Set APN type: default,mms,fota,hipri,supl
Thanks
I would have to wait until tonight to check her phone, but my Nexus 5 is working with those APN settings.
Well, it turns out the fire phone is set to use the AT&T APN. The Cricket APN is there on the phone, but the AT&T one is selected. And everything is working fine on her phone.
Here is a thread from howardforums that describes this same situation.

Also, I neglected to mention that I use Google Voice, so all my SMS/MMS gets routed as data. Which is why I thought the Cricket APN worked for my Nexus 5.

Yeah, thanks. I've tried all the settings on that thread. No joy. Maybe it's something wrong with my account since all four phones have the same problem
After u create APN are you setting the apn, I believe u click save and select, I missed that the first time around

Thank you more times than I could ever say! I have a carrier unlocked LG H830 (G5), and have spent more hours than I'd like to admit trying to get outgoing MMS to work on Cricket Wireless. You name it, I've tried it. I would never EVER have thought to change the Network Mode. That fixed it. Granted, instead of showing "LTE", it's now showing 4G (3.5G), and my data speed down is about 5MB, but Cricket throttles the down speeds anyway. And, at home on Wifi, it doesn't matter anyway. So again, thank you!
For the purposes of future Google searchers:
For outgoing MMS to work on a carrier unlocked LG H830 (LG G5), the Network Mode must be set to GSM/WCDMA.
Regards,
Mark
