    I have a Verizon Note 3 and register it on Straight Talk. But Verizon has the apn sitting locked and will not let me change my apn settings. Is there anything I can do?

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Lawrence,
      If you are using the Straight Talk Verizon network you don’t need to set the apn its done automatically.

    I cant get my galaxy note 2 4.4.2 to down picutres or text. Wont send or receive. Some show up 4/3 days later

    • Bob Thompson | |

  3. Adela | |

    hi i got an unlocked galaxy note 1 gt-n7000 korean version and i have an at&t sim card in it and i cant always send text messeges and i think im not receiving them either im not sure if i am getting 4g but i can use the internet without wifi with certain apn settings a small “g” will pop up next to my signal bars and i know when that happens i can use the internet but my problem is texting please help and reply

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Hi Adela,
      Are you having a problem with text messages? or picture messages? If the problem is text messages, there isn’t much you can do. Reset the phone, update the software, and call Straight Talk if it texts still don’t work.

      As for LTE, you should be seeing aa 4G LTE in the status bar. A G may indicate a a really slow connection. Try running speed test. what speeds are you measuring?

      you need to get phone on lollipop and odin3 downloaded you can easily root phone with one click root they will guarantee it for 1 year that’s the easy way I had same problem with my sm-g9006v s5 and it got rid of all the foreign apps and fixed everything else for me.

  4. Diddo | |

    My note 2 will not send mms but does receive them any idea what I need to do? I changed apn’s and deleted old messages. It always worked until a few days ago. It’s Verizon phone on att Sim card and apn’s are tfdata.

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Try adding default,mms,wap to the apn type field

    My galaxy at&t note 1 keeps going in and out of service I switched it to s talk

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Are you using straight talk’s att network?

  7. glenn terry | |

    Hello, I have a t-mobile Samsung galaxy note 2 4gLTE,using it on straight talk, with straight t-mobile sim card, the only problem, i am having, is when i cut the wifi off, i can not hook up to the internet. as long as i’m hook up to the wifi, i can send and receive picture messages and text, I CONTACT STRAIGHT TALK THEY DON’T KNOW WHY, THEY TRIED JUST EVERYTHING.

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Hi Glenn,
      Did you follow the instructions in the article? That said, I am hearing similar stories the last few days.

      • glenn terry | |

        YES I DID, I JUST DON’T KNOW WHY, WE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE IF THE INTERNET AND MMS AND TEXT WILL WORK WITH THE WIFI ON, IT SHOULD ALSO WORK WITH THE WIFI OFF TOO, RIGHT….

  8. Kenneth scarbro | |

    Ive tried all the apns listed here as well as the one on straighttalk.com and then a couple more. I didn’t have any issues until my phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 2) did a AT&T update. I still have calling and texting just no data.. Any ideas??

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Kenneth
      Yes.
      Try removing all the APNs from your phone. do a reset to default on the APNs page. Then edit and delete all the apns on your phone. Create a new on. Enter the values for your APN. Use the link in the article to look up your APN on the Straight Talk web site. Set the APN type to default,mms,wap.

      Be advised some android users are having issues with ATT updates and MMS, but not data. I hear about a lot of problems with LG phones. I have had a few comments about a similar issue with Samsung phones but not enough to believe that is a real issue.

  9. ZackZap254 | |

    Have a note 2 for att. Have had my straight talk for a few months now and can not send or receive pictures or group texts. Internet works fine. Help???

    • Bob Thompson | |

      hi Zack,
      Did you follow the instructions on my page? Did you set your APN type?

    Bob,I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 2, I switched to Straight Talk, everything is working but the MMS sending pics both ways.My android version is 4.4.2. What should my apn type be set at? it doesnt say on the ST website.

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Hi Jamie,
      Did you try and use the link in the guide to look up your APN on the Straight Talk website? You said your phone was originally from AT&T correct? Are you using a Straight Talk AT&T sim that you bought from walmart / Straight Talk or did you take it out of another Straight Talk phone?

      If your data is working, I assume you set the APN. What APN are you using? Did you set the APN type to default,mms,wap ?

      Let me know,
      Bob

  11. Britteny | |

    Everytime that I tweak my apn settings some will let me on 4g for just a few moments and then not even two or three minutes later it kicks me right back off?

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Hi Britteny,
      Your APN settings do not affect whether or not you get 4G. Are you using Straight Talk AT&T or Straight Talk TMobile SIM? There should only be one APN that works for data. Use the link in the help pages to look up your APN and set it correctly. If your 4G connection drops in and out, try it in different locations. You may find that the network you are using does not have decent coverage at your current location.

      Regards
      Bob

        I have an off brand phone that I got off of ebay. When I go to put in the APN type it won’t let me use a comma. I can not find it on any of the keyboards. Would it be possible to type it out in a different language or something? Or did I buy a bad phone?

        • Bob Thompson | |

          Hi deidra,
          I don’t know why you can’t type a comma on your phone. Try typing the APN type in another app and then doing a copy / paste. You can also try setting up the APN without the APN type. Your data should work. You might have an issue with mms.

          As for your phone, I don’t know what brand it is. You might want to read Shopping For a Chinese Android Smartphone

      Hi Kathy,
      Di you follow the instructions on all four pages?

    Oh gosh…I purchased a Note II on Craigslist and haven’t had the correct APN settings this whole time. Then I found this site. Put in the settings, and BOOM! I’m having my first 4G LTE experience! Thank you guys so much!

        I am having the same issue but I am using the Android 4.3.. With the APN setting Do I put in all the names with the commas or pick on and go back in forth till i find the correct combo.

        • Bob Thompson | |

          Jonathan,
          Make sure you look at all four pages. The big list on page one shows all the different values. I wanted people searching for any of those terms to be able to find my page. Pages 2,3,4 explain what to do.
          Regards
          Bob

          • Britteny | |

            I also have a 4.3 and i have tried all three settings and everytime it lets me on with one for a few minutes it will show 4g and then it kicks me right back off…idk what to do

          • Bob Thompson | |

            Hi Britteny,
            Do you mean your phone is using Android 4.3?

  14. Crystal | |

    Bob, for the APN type. When you list those 3, are you wanting us to type it all up like that, or try each of them separately?

    default,mms,wap

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Hi Cystal,
      enter it as listed all three values on the line seperated by a comma.

    I have the Verizon sch-i605 note 2, which is rooted, and I’m using the att sim. I can send mms but not receive them. I’ve tried every different setting that has been mentioned here to no avail. I’ve had the service for about a week now and still can’t receive pics. Here’s what my settings look like…

    Name Straight Talk
    APN to data
    Proxy
    Port
    Username
    Password
    Server
    MMSC http://mms-tf.net
    Mm proxy mms3.tracfone.com
    Mm port 80
    MCC 310
    MNC 410
    Authentication type
    APN type default,mms,Wap
    (Have also tried default,mms,supl)

    The rest I didn’t change from what was initially setup when I changed to ST.

    I have Googled my problem for days and can’t seem to find the answer! Any kind of help will be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Candy

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Hi Candy,
      I assume you meant tfdata and not to data for the APN.
      Sometimes it can take several days before to can receive MMS.
      I’d go into the APN screen and do a reset to default, remove any APNs that magically reappear and enter your settings fresh.
      Omit the APN type at first, then add default,mms,wap
      if it still isn’t working.
      Regards,
      Bob

    Hey. I recently bought a Galaxy Note 2 and I’m not able to get picture messages or send them, and I can’t get online without wifi. I have tried all the APN’s posted and I have went to straight talk’s website and tried the APN that was shown. I’m not sure what to do and it’s driving me crazy. Any ideas on what to do?

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Hi Christa,
      Maybe, I have to ask you a bunch of questions though.

      What model Galaxy Note 2 do you have? Did you buy it from Straight Talk, bring it from another wireless company, or buy it some place else? Are you using a SIM, in the phone? If so, do you know if are you using Straight Talk’s AT&T network-compatible SIM or Straight’s Talk T-Mobile network-compatible SIM?

      What APN settings did the straight talk web site return?

      Regards
      Bob

      • Christa | |

        I found out today it isn’t a Galaxy Note 2. It’s an android note 2 and the model is 4.2.2. I bought it on amazon, it was unlocked and everything. I am using a sims card. I bought a sims card that would be compatible and it’s working for the phone calls and regular text messages. The sims card is a T-mobile network compatible card. And the straight talk website gave me the apn:
        Name: wap.tracfone
        APN: wap.tracfone
        Port: 8080
        MMSC: http://mms.tracfone.com

        And when I called straight talk they gave me the apn:
        STRAIGHT_TALK
        apn: wap.tracfone
        proxy: 216.155.165.40
        port: 8080
        mmsc: http://mms.tracfone.com
        mms proxy: 216.155.165.40
        mms port: 8080

        • Bob Thompson | |

          Hi Christa,
          Can you send me a link to the phone you bought on Amazon. Some of these Chinese Android phones have limited 3G data compatibility with the att and tmobile networks.

          Based on your APN, it looks like you have the tmobile SIM. when you try to use data, what do you see in the status bar? Do you see an E, H, 3G?
          Regards
          Bob

          • Bob Thompson | |

            Hi Christa,
            The E means that you are only getting a 2G data connection. I looked at the specs of this phone on amazon. It’s a Chinese made phone and you are only going to get 2G, or Edge data with this phone. With the a different phone, you’d get a 4G LTE, 4H HPSA+, or 3G connection for the same amount of money.

            I’d return it and buy a different phone.

            that said, you might what to focus on getting data working so you can see if the speeds you are getting are acceptable to you.
            Go to your APN screen,
            do a Reset to Default
            delete any APNS on the phone
            create a new APN
            set the name to wap.tracfone
            set the apn to wap.tracfone
            save it
            restart your phone
            turn off wifi
            use the web browser to test your data

            Let me know how it goes.
            Regards

    I have Galaxy Note 2 unlocked running on Android Version 4.3 Model Number GT-N7100

    I don’t care about MMS, my main concern is the internet, I been paying for the internet without actually using it for the past 5 months and I’m just furious from their bad customer service and support. if this comment did not generate a solution I’m moving back to at&t

    I tried placing the info you provided. I also deleted the other APN, I tried unchecking the Mobile Data and Data romaing, and tried another time with checking both. in both trials it did not work.

            Hey Bob,
            The problem that saima is having is the same one that I am. When I switched what you recommended it worked for a day and then stopped. I can receive pic messages, but not send. I attempted the changes you recommended and unfortunately it did not work. I also am running Android 4.3. Thank you for all your help.

          • Bob Thompson | |

            Hi Chris
            I am not sure what the issue is..
            Can you try deleting you message threads.
            Sometimes a bad message can block sending
            Back up your phone first. You can restore, afterwards get your message threads back.

            you can also take a couple screenshots of your APN settings and send them to me. Press the power buttom and down volume at the same time.
            You can mail them to bob at the name of this web site.
            Regards
            Bob

    Sorry, Bob, I didn’t leave enough info with my previous message dated 3/7/14. Hope this info will help!!!
    Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-1317) from AT&T to BYOP Straight Talk. Running on 4.1
    Purchased & installed Straight Talk dual sim card for use with AT&T phones; used the micro sim card.
    Not able to delete AT&T APN but unchecked it and added new APN as follows:
    “Edit Access Point” appears at top of page in blue space above all the following:
    Name: Straight Talk
    APN : tfdata
    Proxy:
    Port :
    User name:

    MNC: 410 (didn’t add this)
    Authentication type:
    APN type:
    APN protocol (not highlighted): IPv4 (didn’t add this)
    Enable/disable APN not highlighted): but checked
    Bearer: unspecified
    ***********************************
    I can send & receive text messages. but I can only send pics in my text message. I can’t receive pics. Incoming pics appear needing to be downloaded. When APN = tfdata, download attempts state “failed”. When APN = att.mvno, download attempts state, “try again later.” When APN = wrap.tracfone, download attempts state, “try again later.”
    Before swiping opening screen, AT&T still appears above the time. Does this indicate something?

    I hope I have provided enough info this time … Thanks for your
    help, Bob!

      H CelticRainbow,
      Awesome job providing the details.
      The good news is you appear to have set up your APN correctly. Unfortunately, you are having the receive MMS problem that many people have. Some people fix this by tweaking their MMSC and MMS proxy values. Others set the APN type. Try default, mms, wap and default, mms, supl. If you just signed up for Straight Talk, sometimes it starts working in a day or two. This happened to me last month.
      Take a look at comments on I Can’t Receive MMS Picture Messages Using Straight Talk or Net10 on My iPhone Using iOS 7.0.4 to see the alternative MMSC and MMS Proxy that have worked for others.

      you can also look at Help with Straight Talk and Net10 MMS Picture Messages

      The AT&T splash screen isn’t an issue. Your phone was just customized for AT&T.

      Please let me know what you try and how it goes.

        Hi Bob!

        Many thanks for your help with my problem regarding my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that after importing it into Straight Talk could not download pics sent to me via text messages. Your were right on suggesting that I wait a few days…. because suddenly it started working!! You are really making a HUGE difference for so many frustrated people!!!

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Hi Ashley,
      Do you know if you are using the Straight Talk AT&T network-compatible SIM or the Straight Talk T-Mobile network-compatible SIM? Can you tell me the model number of your Note 2 so I an check to see if it’s compatible.

      Regards
      Bob

      My current settings for my note 2 on attention some are name straight talk some tfdata some type default, supl mms proxy proxy.mnvo. tracfone.com port 80 username not set password not set server cingulargprs.com mmsc http://mms-tf.net mms proxy mms3.tracfone.com mms port80 mcc 310 mnc 410. With these settings I am not able to connect to the internet or picture messages. Please help?

      • Bob Thompson | |

        Hi smokey,
        your comment is hard to read with the lack of formating.
        If you are using the Straight Talk AT&T network-compatible SIM or the Straight Talk T-Mobile network-compatible SIM. Remove all the APNs. Creat an new APN, try tfdata for the APN only set the MCC and MNC is you need to save the APN. If data doesn’t work, try att.mvno, then wap.tracfone.

        Once you find the APN that gives your internet, then work on MMS.
        Regards
        Bob

    I have an at&t galaxy note phone that I am using on straight talk network. Everything is working but the data. I have tried calling straight talk, they gave me the same apn settings as above. I am so frustrated right now. Hope you or someone else can help me.

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Do you know if you have the straight talk att to straight talk tmobile sim?
      Try deleting any of the old apns

    • Tony | |

      I am having the same problem. Phone makes calls great but data doesn’t work. Straight talk is giving me the run around. Going to try the AT&T Sim next.

      • Bob Thompson | |

        Hi Tony,
        If your Note 2 is a AT&T model and the AT&T network works well where you live, work, or plan to use your phone then by all meansa switch to the AT&T SIM. It should be easy to get data working using one of the three APNs. The Straight Talk T-Mobile APN is wap.tracfone. If data isn’t working, try resetting the APN and adding it back. Make sure to remove any old APNs in the list.
        Let me know how it goes.
        Regards,
        Bob

    I have tried this. It didn’t work. My phone is not a Samsung note 2. It is an android note2. Unlocked phone that I bought on eBay

    Hi I have original Galaxy Note…trying so hard to get group messages since all friends have iPhone or Galaxy 4 . I did what you suggested..got as far as Edit Access Point: I can see mms ,port all the other names but am unable to click on them… Help… Please

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Try adding a new APN rather than editing an existing one.

  33. Victoria | |

    I can only get to #4
    There is Nothing else available from there. I click on access point
    Form there it is blank. No “Menu” no nothing else to click on. 🙁

    • Bob Thompson | |

      The whole screen is blank? Or you list of APNs is empty?. I don’t have the note, but menu is usually a button on the top right of the screen. The button might be. A plus in a circle in the top right of the screen. You can send a a screenshot if you can’t figure it out.

      Regards

    Using the straight talk settings for at&t that you have listed, everything but MMS works. This is on the Samsung Galaxy Note II.

    • Gene | |

      Same here, I have a Note 2 and these setting dont work. I also have two settings that I cant leave blank that are not one of the settings mentioned ….MCC and MNC

      • Bob Thompson | |

        Hi Gene,
        It’s not clear to me what isn’t working for you data, MMS, or both. I just checked my Nexus 5 and now requires the MCC and MNC. It did not in the past. I suspect that a recent software update must require it. Try 310 and 410 respectively.
        Regards
        Bob

    I have a verizon galaxy note 2 using the t-mobile sim card and cant get the internet or mms to work any help?

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Allen,
      Folow the instructions on this page. The T-Mobile SIM should use the wap.tracfone APN. I assume your phone is the SCH-I605. Looking ath the specs, this phone sohuld work on the t-mobile network.
      http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_ii_cdma-5152.php

      Getting Internet working is usually pretty easy. You only need to enter the APN. Make sure that the T-Mobile network has network converage at your location. With you T-Mobile SIM in the phone and Wi-Fi off. Try to load a web page. Let me know how many signal bars you see in the status bar and if you see a 4G, 3G, 3G, E, or H in the status bar after trying to load a web page.

      Regard
      Bob

    Calling straight talk did nothing for me, could not get the info they gave me for APN to connect to the internet.

    You info for the t-mobile version works for my Galaxy note 1 on straight talk.

    Thank you.

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Hi Bill,
      I am glad this page helped you. I don’t know why Straight Talk wasn’t able to give you the correct settings.
      thanks for taking the time to comment.

      Regards

    • Bob Thompson | |

      Hi AJ,
      Try changing the APN to att.mvno. Reboot your phone and test data.
