Can u show me something for a T-Mobile , Galaxy note 3 .I live out of town and it doesn’t make or receive calls or anything.what can I do
The APN i talk about is used for your data connection, MMS picture messages, and group texts. If you are unable to make calls either your phone is not compatible with the network you are using, the network you are using does not have coverage in your area, or if your phone has not worked since you subscribed, there is a problem with line. I assume you are using a T-Mobile Note 3 with Straight Talk’s T-Mobile towers, is that correct? Does T-Mobile work where you live?
Need help with my haewei sensa lte
What problem are you having? what is the exact model number of your phone? Do you know if your phone is using Straight Talk’s AT&T or Verizon towers? (if not just say so).
I have a polaroid unlocked phone with Straight Talk. Cannot get internet. Keeps saying “You have disabled a required permission”.
Don’t know what I did. Am using ATT towers.
You see the message when? When you try to use the browser? or any app that needs to connect online? does the phone work with Wi-Fi?

Try setting the APN Setting Your Straight Talk Wireless’ APN on your Google Nexus 5 with Android 5 (Lollipop)
Yes, I want to know how to set up my Straight talk Android h891L(Huewaei) smart phone so I can pair up my DirectTv and my audiology headphones with my HP Laptop and make it all easy!
Hi Marcus,
I am sorry but that is beyond the scope of smartphonematters. This site is about getting Straight Talk cellular data working on smartphones. I’m not really sure what you are trying to do. Sounds like you are trying to use Bluetooth to pair your devices. I am not sure if you are trying to use your phone’s internet connection with your direct TV and laptop, but that is against Straight Talk’s Terms of Service.
Hi, I have an Samsung Galaxy S5 Active that is had the APN settings changed through net10, but I can’t send or receive mms?
OK. Try following this. How to Set up Net10 Wireless Data and MMS on Your Nexus 5 Running Android 4.4. When you look up your APN settings, your APN might be RESELLER. If this is the case, adjust your settings accordingly.
Hi, I have talked to an agent, and had my APN reset twice, and I am still unable to send ,and receive picture messages. I would really like this issue resolved asap. Please reply
Hi Dana,
Try this
Resetting the APN Settings to Default on Your Android Phone
and then this How to Set up Straight Talk Wireless Data and MMS on Your Nexus 5 Running Android 4.4
For Straight Talk’s ATT network, try setting your APN type to default, mms, wap . For Straight Talk’s TMobile network try default, mms, supl.
I think I got it! FOR Win 8.1 NET 10 I was able to send myself media. Waiting for a reply and trial.
Try:
on the MMS-
APN: tfdata
username: NET10
WAP gateway: mms3.tracfone.com
WAP port: 80
MMSC URL: http://mms-tf.net
MMSC port: 80
IP type: IPv4
Leave all others blank – if it works for you pass it along

You can also try setting your APN type to default, mms, wap for the ATT SIM or default, mms, supl for the TMobile SIM. Do you know which SIM you are using?

Hi Mary,
what type of phone do you have and what wireless service are you using?
I made a comment earlier, however I might have typed my email address in so quick that it was wrong, hope you get this correction thanjs
Hi des,
You need to set up the APN to be able to send and receive mms picture messages. Read this entire article. Ignore the part about the sim swap.

Did Att tell you the phone was locked to TMobile
Are you getting lte on this phone or just 3G?
If you mean you don’t get visual voicemail when you say the phone doesn’t show messages that is because ST doesn’t support it

Hi Jeff,
See LG Android Smartphone Owners Having Problems with Straight Talk MMS Picture Messages
I have an AT&T unlocked GSM Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini that i have switched over to straight talk, using a Straight Talk AT&T SIM. I can send/receive MMS and use my data just fine…Got all my settings correct. Thing is i can not send/receive calls!! Its very frustrating. Every once in a blue moon it will send out a call, most of the time not though. Any ideas??
Hi Ashley,
that is pretty weird. I don’t know what would be causing that. You could try backing up the phone, and doing a factory reset. Making sure the phone has the latest software update. Double check you have the ATT SIM and confirm that the ATT network works well in your area.
Other than that, you’ll need to call Straight Talk and report the issue. Try to get their to escalate the problem to their Tier 2 technical support.

Bob

I have an iphone 5 and downloaded the APN settings for Tmobile according to the setup instructions, yet I am still unable to send MMS. What do I do?
Hi Anya,
Is your wireless company T-Mobile or Straight Talk? If Straight Talk are you using their t-mobile compatible network SIM? What did you download?
