Hey, a BB fan!
I think you could remove proxy.mvno.att.com though and it would still work for you.
As previously mentioned by someone else, I cannot download MMS messages to my straight talk galaxy s4 mini, nor can I send a photo message. Please help!
Hi Aminata
Which APN settings are you using? Are you using a SIM card in your Mini? Do you know which Straight Talk network you are using? ATT or TMobile? or are you on the ST Verizon or Sprint network?

Bob
I just switched to Straight talk and we re unable to open mms (pics). I have tried the list of APN’s listed above, about 5 of the APN solutions listed on the thread that has 157 comments. And I even downloaded the offline SIM app.
I have a factory unlocked Samsung smart phone that I bought from Best Buy’s marketplace. The OS is Ice cream sandwich.
I would really appreciate your help.
