My MMS is still not working. Even went from net10 to straight talk and the problem exsists.
Did you read and follow the instructions all four pages of the article? Did you set your APN type?
I can not recieve or send pictures on messages on my BLU phone??? I am a straight Talk customer and bought this phone months ago … I took back to where I bought it and they say it is straight talk problem ???I have unlimited talk, Text and Data!!!!! so what is the problem?
Hi Lynn,
The instructions in the article tell you what to do..did you check out all four pages?
I WISH TO ATTACH PICTURES TO TELEPHONE NUMBERS. HOW DO I DO THIS. MY PHONE IS A BLU PHONE
Dale,
Do you want to send pictures to phone numbers? or you want to assign a picture for certain numbers? You usually do the later by adding the number to contacts and assigning a photo to that contact.
Just got the blue 6.0 4g LTE but I’m not getting the LTE I use straight talk at&t sim what do I do to get the lte
Hi Scott,
You can’t really just make your phone connect to LTE. You can check the settings and make sure you have your preferred network set for LTE, but that is about it. Setting the APN will not affect whether or not you get LTE. Is it possible that ATT does not have LTE in your current location?
Hello,
I notice my phone will bounce from H to H+ all the time, even as I type this. Is there a way to help it not constantly switch for a stronger signal?
Hi Peanut,
Not that I am aware of. Do you notices differences in network speed? Try measuring your speeds. Using SpeedTest to Measure Your Internet Speed.
Are you using the att or mobile network?
Hi Bob,
I have a blu studio energy with a straight talk sim. Everything seems to be fine except I cannot get texts from people with i-phones. They recieve my message but I cannot receive theirs. Any idea what the problem is?
Thanks!
Hi Mary,
Do you receive text messages from people that don’t have iPhones? Did you ever use an Apple product? iPhone? iPad? Mac?.
Ask an iPhone friend what they see in Messages after sending you a text? Do they see the message in a blue or green bubble? does the Messages show the text as “delivered”?
Regards
Bob
Thanks for your reply,
Yes, I do get texts from all other types of phones. My last phone was an iPhone 3 with the same phone number. At first I kept the same straight talk sim card and just put it in my BLU Studio Energy. I was not getting any texts from my contacts with iPhones. After a week I put the sim card back into my old iPhone and there were all the texts I had missed for that week. I thought it was because I needed a new sim so I got new one from straight talk and transferred my number to it. Still no texts from iPhones.
When they text me it is blue and does not say delivered.
Hi Mary,
Sounds like the text messages from your iPhone friends are still being delivered via iMessage. iMessage uses your internet connection, not SMS or MMS to deliver messages. It only works with apple devices.
Try this

Let me know how it goes.

I have tried all this n still can’t get picture text or send but I can get on the browser
Hi Christina,

Hi Kytsa,
The APN type is in the APN Settings. Should look something like this http://smartphonematters.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/nexus5-0125-editapn-all.png

Bob
Hi, I have tried this and I still cant download the picture someone sent me.
did you set your APN type? If so, what?
Thank you!!! My husband bought the Studio 5.0 II and when he could not connect to the internet he wanted to send it back. He told me if I could get everything working it was mine and he would buy anything for 6 months without asking first. LOL With this article I got a new phone!!! However, I do have a question I can not get my SD card to go all the way into the slot? It goes 3/4 way in, but then you can’t put the battery in… With the SD card my storage is limited and I worry the phone is running slow. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks again!!!
Hi Sophie,
Great news. Nice job. I bet your husband will never make that type of deal again!
I don’t own one of these phones so I am not sure about the SD card. if the card isn’t going in correctly make sure you have it oriented properly. Personally I find that SIM and SD slots can be confusing. I went to the BLU site and looked at the manual, but it doesn’t show how to put the card in. I then went to YouTube an looked at a few unboxing videos for your phone but didn’t find someone putting the the SD card in either. You might want to search YouTube a little more thoroughly.
You can also call BLU support and ask them for help. They have a reputation for being really helpful. That’s what I’d do anyway.
And yes you definitely want to use a memory card with this phone. Let me now how it goes.
Regards
Bob

How can you adjust your front cam to take better picture
I had a blue studio 5 before put in the codes as listed and I could recieve picture messages, but could never send them. My phone was broken so I bought another one, I’m putting the codes in exactly as before but now I can’t even recieve them on my new phone and I’ve checked over it repeatedly to make sure I didnt put in anything incorrectly and I haven’t! Is APN and MMS APN the same thing? I don’t have a section strictly for MMS APN, there’s only an APN section. I’ve tried all kinds of things, MMS port 80 or not set. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong!
Hi Cassidy,
I’d start by doing this. Resetting the APN Settings to Default on Your Android Phone
After that set up your APN following the instructions on this page. Help Setting up Straight Talk Data and MMS on the BLU Studio 5s Running Android 4.1.2
Make sure you look up your APN using the link that article.
If you are using the Straight Talk ATT SIM, try setting your APN type to default,mms,wap. If you are using the Straight Talk TMobile SIM, try setting your APN type to default,mms,supl
If that doesn’t work, you can take a couple screenshots of your APN settings and email them to me.

I have had my Blu Studio 5.5 since Dec, and use straight talk. I went months without being able to get pic’s but my son finely fixed that part, but I still do not get internet outside my home and this kinda defeats the purpose of have unlimited access I’ve tried talking to straight talk for help but just keep getting the data that’s on line, and I’ve tried to get in touch with BLU about this and to this date still have not got any help. And I’ve done what u said to do on here and still won’t work. Beside having to buy a whole new maker of phones is there ANYTHING I can do? HELP 🙂
Hi Georgia,
Hmm. Let’s see if we can fix that. Look up your Straight Talk APN Settingand tell me what they are.

Just got a Blu Studio X -US-GSM phone. Love it but I have one problem, when I am at home and want to use wifi it will connect, disconnect,then I have to turn the wifi back on. It goes all day like this. I get no emails at this time when it disconnects. It is like I get booted off till I turn it back on. Other cell phones work in the house and don’t get booted off. Please help. Straight talk has been no help, said the phone is faulty. I am using an AT&T sims card. Thank up I in advance.
Hi Barb,
I assume you mean your cellular data internet connection is not working, not Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi is the kind of wireless connection you might have as part of a home internet connection or use in a public location like Starbuck’s or your local library.
If you really mean WiFi, the issue is with your home internet connection or phone and not Straight Talk.
If you mean your cellular data connection, you can try removing and resetting up your APN. First do this Resetting the APN Settings to Default on Your Android Phone and then follow the instructions here How to Set up Straight Talk Wireless Data and MMS on Your Nexus 5 Running Android 4.4
I assume you are using Straight Talk Wireless. Do you know if you have the Straight Talk ATT or Straight Talk TMobile SIM in your phone? It could be possible that you don’t have a good signal at home and that it why you get drop outs. I know you said that other phones work at home, but you did not mention which network they are on.
Try the instructions above or let me know if you can clarify what the problem is.
Bob, thanks for the reply. It is the wifi I am talking about. It says it is connected but when I go to a web site i cant get on. I then go to settings, turn off wifi and turn it back on and I can get to the web page. I called blu support and they were very helpful. Had to do a restore back to factory default. No luck. She said if that didnt work to send phone back???
Hi Barb,
If WiFi is the issue, you might want to return the phone. I’d try connecting to a few different WiFi networks other than your own. Its possible that the combination of your phone and your home wireless router. A replacement phone might fix the problem, but at least you’ll know what the issue is.
If you or someone in your family is familar with how to log into the router to change settings, you could also try changing the WiFi channel and see if you don’t drop connections.
Regards
Bob
Thank you Bob. We have a new phone on the way. Will keep you posted
Just wanted to give you update on the phone situation. We ordered a new studio energy phone. Still same problem. We reset the internet modem andvthe router. No problem since. This phone us awesome. Thanks for all the help.

how do I use video chat on my blue phone
Hi Jessica,
What do you mean by “video chat”? Are you taking about MMS picture or video messages? Or do you want to make video calls to other people? Video calls would require both you and the party you want to call to both have the same app installed. For example, skype…

I’d start by removing your SIM and restarting your phone. I’d then go into Settings, make sure Wi-Fi is on and connect to my home wi-fi network. You’ll need to enter your home wifi password. Once you do that test your internet connection using the web browser. Reading this might help. How to Set up Straight Talk Wireless Data and MMS on Your Nexus 5 Running Android 4.4
After that try, replacing your SIM in SIM slot 1. Make sure voice calls and text messages work. Then follow the steps in this guide to set up your APN.

Could not get Blu Studio to receive MMS in spite of all my efforts. Finally read carefully this site and noticed the “20.Enter Your APN Type (I recommend you only add this if MMS doesn’t work the first time)”
Did this and the problem is solved.
Thanks for your help.
Hi Bruce,
Yes. The APN type seems to be critical for the BLU phones. I did not need to set it on my Nexus 5. Maybe I should update my BLU instructions to tell people to add it the first time. I originally wanted to make sure I didn’t include extra steps.
I am glad to hear the instructions helped you get your BLU phone working.

Hi Haley,
Can you share a little more information? Are you using Straight Talk? with the ATT or TMobile SIM? Did you follow the instructions on this page and look up your APN and enter it into your phone? Is your cellular data connection working? Are you seeing a 3G or H or H+ in your status bar?
Regards
Bob
Straight talk with at&t sim card. Yes I checked APN all that matches when my WiFi is off it says H+ beside 3G
Hi Haley,
Ok, so your cellular data works? It’s just an issue of not seeing a 4g?
your phone doesn’t support 4G LTE. It supports HSPA+. Most Android phones don’t display a 4G indicator when the have a this type of connection. I chexked the user manual for your phone and id did not document the what the status bae would display.
If you are interested in how fast your data connection is, install SpeedTest by OOKLA on your phone and run some tests. You’ll get a sense of how fast your phone is.

Hi Chad,
Did you follow the instructions on my page? Did you look up your APN on the Straight Talk site using the link I provided? Did you set your APN type?
Did you port your phone number to Straight Talk recently? For some reason, it sometimes takes a several days for MMS to start working.

Hi Rebecca,
If regular SMS text messages are not working, you should open a support ticket with Straight Talk. The APN settings on the phone are for data and mms and do not affect SMS so it could be an issue with the service.
Also BLU technical support is pretty good. Don’t hesitate to call them.
On your own, you can try…
To set up your phone, you can try this.
1. back up your phone
2. from settings do a factory reset
3. from my help page… look up your APN on the Straight Talk website using the link on my page
4. follow the instructions to set up the APN
About Your Phone
I tried to look up the specifications for the D142K. I couldn’t find the specifications. Even on the BLU web site. I could only find the BLU D140. I did find some vendors selling the D142k online.
Be aware, this phone only supports 2G data speeds, which means that if you do get it working you will see very slow data speeds. very slow. With a Straight Talk $45 a month plan, your account is capable of 4G LTE data, which is very fast. From fastest to slowest you have 4G LTE, 4G HSPA+, 3G, and then 2G.
Most BLU phones support 4G HSPA+ or 3G. While not as fast as LTE, the speed is fast enough for the phone to be usable. I have a lot of reader that use BLU phones and love them. But in this case, I don’t think you’ll be happy with the performance and you definitely are paying for better service than you’ll get with this phone.
I did run across one listing that claimed this phone supported 3G, so its possible you might get lucky.
Let me know how it goes.

Bob
Hi I have a problem with my Blue Studio 5.0. I’m trying to get it completely on Straight talk, but the only thing I can’t receive or send mms. I tried to go in and enter the settings manually but the only apn is AT T and the space is grey. I can’t add one. I did the reset and still can’t add another apn. How do I fix this??
Hi Bob,
I am not sure what you mean by “the space is grey”. I don’t have a BLU phone but on my Android phone the APNs screen in settingg has a circle with a plus and three veritcal square dots in the upper right corner. when I choose reset to default under the three dots it deletes all the APNs and adds two new ones ATT Phone and ATT Wap. when I tap on each APN I it opens the Edit APN screen and I can delete the APN under the three dots on that page. From the APNs page I can tap the plus sign in the circle and it will open an Edit APN page that I can enter APN settings into and save them by choosing Save from the three dots menu.
Are you able to do this?
Also I moved your comment to a Straight talk help page. The page you left the comment on was for Metro PCS.
Regards
Bob
ok i have tried all of these , and nothing is working,, i have a 5. blu studio, i can get internet, but i cant send or recieve picture messages,,, can you help
Hi Lisa,
Did you try setting the APN type?
Yes about 4 times
What did you se set your APN type to?
After following the guide to set up APN, I no longer am able to use the browser without WIFI. Before following the guide, I simply could not receive picture images in text. Now, I can’t receive text images or browser abilities. Also, when I went to the Straight Talk website to retrieve the APN settings, I received a message that I was not on the Bring Your Phone plan, and otherwise, nothing appeared to give me the APN info. Therefore, I simply followed the guide on your format with the att.mvno settings.
Hi Anna,
Where did you get your SIM? From another Straight Talk phone. Your APN is likely tfdata, wap.tracfone, or att.mvno. Try each and see if you can get data to work again.
Regards
Bob
Yaaaa! I think it’s working. Thanks a bunch for your help. 🙂

Hi Klev,
Are you using the Straight Talk T-Mobile or Straight Talk AT&T SIM? Check to see if you have 3G enabled in the network settings. Check Mobile Settings, Preferred Network Type. Does this phone have two SIM slots? If so which one are you using. Which model phone do you have D532u or the D532v.
my blu 5.0 mega wont come on and when it do it runs slow
Hi coreyon,
Do you mean you have a problem turning the phone on and then it runs slow or are your talking about your data connection? If you are talking about your phone try a factory reset. I can’t promise it will help, but it is what I would do. Make sure to fully backup your phone first.
If you are talking about your data connection, what symbol to you see in your status bar, an H, 3G, or an LTE?
Regards
Bob
how do you factory reset and it wont come on at all

Hi Coreyon,
If the phone won’t turn on, I’d call BLU tech support. They are pretty good. Several readers have had their phones replaced for free under warranty.

Hello guys I just got a new Blu Studio 6.0 HD and I am having some problems with downloading picture messages that I receive from texts can any one help me with this problem? Or know what I need to do to get the pictures to download that way I can see them?
Hi Trevor,
I assume you followed the instructions to set up your APN.
If you recently signed up for Straight Talk and transferred your phone number it may take a few days before you can receive MMS picture messages. I had the same issue. I set up three Straight Talk accounts. MMS worked fine for the two with new phone numbers. I could not receive MMS for the third, the one I transferred a number to. I tried the SIM in two different phone and it did not work. After a few days I decided to see if I could try to fix it, only to find it working.
This is a common problem. You can also try setting your APN type to default, mms, wap (ST att SIM) or default, mms, supl (ST Tmobile SIM).
Some readers have had luck by trying different MMSC and MMS proxy values. Read both the following articles and the comments to see what has worked for others.

I’m am so frustrated I want to seriously cry!! I just gotta a new blue studio 5.5 d610a I also bought a straight talk att gsm compatible Sim activation kit. I got everything switched over with straight talk and they adjusted my apn. I did everything they asked literally hours on the phone. I have no Internet unless connected to my home network and I cant send or receive mms messages. This is what they told me and how I have it set per them:
Name: Straight Talk
Apn: tfdata
Apn type: default mms wap
proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port: not set
username: not set
password: not set
Server: not set
Mmsc: http://mms-tf.net

Mms port: mot set
mmc: 310
mnc: 410
authentication type: not set
Apn Protocol: ipv4
Apn roaming Protocol: ipv4
Apn enable/disable: enabled

Can anyone please please help. The first day I had Internet but I went to work yesterday and had no data connection and yeah its on. Now I have no data or mms. I went to blue site just for this issue and before straight said apn type should be default Supp mms no sap blue says default mms and wap I tried that that don’t work either. I have even factory reset my phone as they requested and nothing. They said my phone IS compatible and I gsm and i read til my eyes wanna cross and other ppl with the same phone have no issues so I know it will work on straight with their Sim for att gsm. All I can do is talk and text. How can I have Internet one day and not the next morning. Straight talk said when I switched to byop to give it 24-48 hours for my plan to update to the new service… I did that too. Someone please tell me what to do or set. Straight talk says its my device now prologue cause they are sick of me calling. My phone has spent more time restarting than being used!!
I have also tried multiple settings per various sites none of them seem to work either. And I have read all the pages on this site. Anybody have the same issue with the same phone and Sim with st and have it actually work? Any other settings I may need to set differently? I have read where ppm have the exactly carrier Sim and phone and have no issues at all. I’m in Michigan all we have here is Verizon att. And sprint no tmobile.
i have no clue what the guys name was but I tried straight again and I can now send mms and have data. The straight talk guy said it is NOT our fault or phone its a setting in the data package that needs to he turned on or enabled on their end. Its in the data plan setting with them!!!! Omg my phone works!!!! He enabled it and over my signal bar you get H or H+ or lte pr a 4 or 3 depends on the towers and the signal it draws in. He said it will vary depending where you are. My phone works!!! All of it! I guess keep on straight talk and have them manually update your data settings.
Hi Ann Marie,
Thanks for taking the time to leave your comments. I am glad Straight Talk got your phone working. With Straight Talk, sometime the problem is the phone, sometimes, the SIM, and sometimes its on their end too. You never really know until you get the problem fixed.
mms port is 80 not blank as well as port should be 80
You should be able to try either 80 or leave it blank. 80 is the default port.
I’ve been on the phone with straight talk all day . My Blu studio 5.5 is still roaming please help
Kreshla Carter,
Are you using the Straight Talk ATT or Straight Talk T-Mobile SIM? Do you know if the ATT and / or TMobile network work well in your area? Do most people you know use Verizon, ATT, TMobile or Sprint? Does your phone show the name of the network it is roaming to?

Hi I have a blu studio 6.0 hd. Mobile data works and both sending and receiving mms. How ever when connected to wifi I an unable to send or receive mms. If I disconnect from wifi it works fine. Any way to fix this issue??
Hi Eddie,
When you are connected to Wi-Fi, do you have your cell data turned off? Do you have “Block background data” under Power saving mode enabled?(does your BLU have this option?). My guess is your phone is trying to use the Wi-Fi connection for MMS and that isn’t supported by ST. Let me know the answer to the above questions.

I just recently purchased a blue android phone and I can’t receive any multimedia how can I make this work?
Hi anamarialatalladi,
Follow the instructions on the help page to look up and enter your APN settings into your phone.
If you recently signed up for Straight Talk and transferred your phone number it may take a few days before you can receive MMS picture messages. I had the same issue. I set up three Straight Talk accounts. MMS worked fine for the two with new phone numbers. I could not receive MMS for the third, the one I transferred a number to. I tried the SIM in two different phone and it did not work. After a few days I decided to see if I could try to fix it, only to find it working.
This is a common problem. You can also try setting your APN type to default, mms, wap or default, mms, supl. Some readers have had luck by trying different MMSC and MMS proxy values. Read both the following articles and the comments to see what has worked for others.
