This article show you how to set the Straight Talk Wireless wap.tracfone APN on your Google Nexus 5 with Android 5 also known as Lollipop. My Nexus 5 was using the Android 5.1.1 when I wrote this article.
Your Nexus 5 might work automatically when you put your Straight Talk TMobile compatible SIM card in the phone. It might automatically set the APN to wap.tracfone and adde the other settings. You might be able to use cellular data as well as send and receive picture messages and group texts. But if your phone is not working, or you looked up your APN and its wap.tracfone, follow the steps below to add a new APN to your phone. If you haven’t looked up your APN first, see Setting Your Straight Talk Wireless’ APN on your Google Nexus 5 with Android 5 (Lollipop)
