Hi Dayton, there is a special post about fixing mms issues on straight talk, did you read thru that?
What’s is your straight talk phone is with Verizon and not atat or tmobile. Because I went to straight talk and tried to do the apn change but when I put my number in it said I wasn’t even registered in straight talk witch is a gd lie because I just bought a $55 card and cant even use the mf I’m having to connect to wifi just to try to fix this shit
OMG you guys are awesome!!! The tmobile one worked perfectly! Thank you!!
Glad to know Morgan! enjoy the Straight talk service!
How about using my mobile hotspot? Is there an APN setting that will allow me to use it? Because I can’t right now even though I should be able to with my unlimited plan.
So I have a galaxy s6 I just activate with byop on straight talk. It’s a verizon phone. The Internet is not working and won’t let me send picture messages.
Hi Kat, which version of the APN did you enter?
I am using a sims card from the straight talk activation kit. I am able to send messages and recurve them. I can also send picture messages, but when I try to use the Internet or any data it says I’m not subscribed to a cellular data service. Help! It’s an iPhone 5s, Verizon carrier
Hi Cameron, sending and receiving messages do not require a data plan, while using the internet does. can you confirm you have an active data plan? if you havent subscribed to any straight talk data plan, then you will receive this kind of message
Can’t get anything to work on my new straight talk sim card, no apn nothing
i have a us cellular galaxy s6 i put the straight talk sim card in and can send and receive calls but get no internet connection and cannot send text…i have tried the apn settings and nothing seems to be working
Hi Kimberly, have you tried our troubleshooting guide? pls go to the site and click on the apn troubleshooting guide, or just do a quick search on the site and you will find the step by step instructions
yes I have tried everything, I can send and receive calls but nothing else…no internet connection at all and no text at all
You don’t mention the set-up for Verizon network Straight Talk phones.
Hi Roger, it’s in a different post, just do a quick search on the site and you will find it
I have a Samsung j7 phone that I recently purchased from straight talk. and it will not let me add these APN settings . It only allows me to put TracFone data in APN. has Verizon listed as the name and will not allow me to remove it. Please if anyone knows I can’t even make a phone call or send a receive text messages. If anyone has a solution please email me. @ [email protected]. thank you in advance.
Hi!
I will be visiting the USA, I bought a sim card to use on my unlocked iphone while I’m in LA, will be visiting till 1st week of May, my question is, if I change the APN, how I change it back as it is now? Will that affect my phone?
Thank you
Hi Kaya, you can create a New APN and this way you dont have to edit/reomve the exiting ones… once you go back to your country, just go in and select the old one back
How do u create a new apn
when you are on the Access Points Names menu, hit on the options button and ADD NEW
How about Verizon? Do you guys have anything for verizon?
Hi Mason, just do a search and you will find the related APN
I just got a new IPhone and chose TMobile for my network. Straight talk sent me directons and instructed me to put http://www.mmsc.tracfone in the MMSC field and it didn’t work. What you have listed on your site is correct. It worked when I put http://www.mms.tracfone and I’m glad it did because I was about to return my phone for a refund. Thank you for the correct info!
Hey Jan, glad to know… thats an iPhone you bought from Straight Talk directly or you just bought the sim card?
Hi, I just switched from at&t to straight talk and I can’t figure out how to update my apn setting. I have a Samsung Galaxy
Hi Ti, inside the article you should see the steps to configure… go to settings, mobile network and you should see access points names
What about changing your ipv4 to a ipv6 and getting it working for your internet
that fixed the issue for you?
Ok guys.i have a Verizon Moto g6 play. Switched to straight talk. They sent me a T-Mobile SIM card. The byop kit had bad Sim card. Now instead of 4g I get an E and drop service. Thanks
Have nothing but a head ach . Verizon Moto g6 play. Switched to straight talk byop plan. Had a bad Sim card you guys sent me a t mobile card. Now my phone does nothing. Can’t seem to get the apn right
can you make phone calls?
switched over yesterday text worked but now it is not working. The setting only show old apn and you can not enter in any information
Straight talk gave me settings that actually worked. These did not
Hi Ray, which ones are working for you?
I recently activated a at&t compatible straight talk Sim card for my Alcatel, but I am still not receiving any data signal what so ever. Can u please help
None of this worked. I am a highly tech savvy person, and I can say with confidence that there is no fix for this issue. A person I spoke with who is in the know said that Straight Talk no longer allows MMS.
These did not work for me. There is more info that needs to be typed in the following slots:
Authentication Type: None
APN type: default,mms,dun
APN protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol: IPv4/IPv6
This was for the AT&T Network settings. When I changed this after about an hour of trying other things, it instantly started sending about a dozen text messages to my spouse, mom, and others.
I recently refilled my straighttalk account with an unlimited data plan for my iPhone 6s with straight talk sims card but I have no data whatsoever. Please help.
So why do I lose data signal everytime I refill my plan? Last time I had to find a new apn to get it back and the customer service phone line is a complete joke and are absolutely no help and seem to have little to no knowledge about cell phones and signals anytime I call, just now I had a young man ask me to change my APN while on the phone with him… so obviously training is a shoot and miss with this company. I just want the data signal that I paid for, without having to go through the trek of replacing my APN each time. Not even the one listed above works.
Thank you guys so much this is awesome
How about using my mobile hotspot? Is there an APN setting that will allow me to use it? Because I can’t right now even though I should be able to with my unlimited plan.
My LG Stylo 3 has recently quit receiving and transmitting MMS messages. I tried updated the APN settings to no available. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
So I am able to get regular text messages but can’t send or receive photos through text. Can you provide any help with that?
