So I'm done with straight talk and when back to attend. I popped the Sim into my gsm unlocked x and it automatically detected the APN. It works except for MMS. So if it knows what APN to use then why doesn't MMS work?

I've tried every APN I could find. Even copied ones from demo phones in the store. People receive when I send them but I can't receive them.

That's odd, did you set it, select it and then reboot? I know you've probably tried everything but just making sure so everyone can give you the best help.

Yes I select it and reboot every time. If its a minor change I just edit the existing APN so I don't know if that matters. I'm on a prepaid smartphone plan also so I don't know if that matters either.

I don't think it should matter if your prepaid. My wife is on straight talk and using a Moto X. I got her the unlocked version so she could use at&t or tmo SIM. She has the at&t nano SIM from the byop package at Wal-Mart. If you tried every apn out there then it could either be straight talk or the phone. To bad st has horrid customer service cause you'll never get an answer from them.

I would just call them, at least they have decent customer service. If the info they give you didn't work then either it's a prob on their end or bad phone.

Those are what my phone defaults to from detecting the att Sim and that's what was on the demo x in the store. Do you have any problems with MMS or when you first used the x with that Sim?

No but I'd call AT&T at this point, sounds like someone didn't setup your line correctly.

Treefrog, I have the same unlocked GSM Tmobile MotoX that your wife has. When she uses the ATT sim with Straigh Talk, does she get LTE or just the HSPA+? Next month I was going to try but I cannot find a definitive answer if the LTE works or not.
Thanks!

I'm not Treefrog but I can tell you that yes LTE is great on the Moto X with att Straight Talk. Just not as fast as AT&T LTE. But still faster than HSPA+. My brother has the unlocked T-Mobile Moto X on att Straight talk. Phone testing says network type LTE
And if you need I can supply you with the apn he is using

Thanks for information! So you have to enter special numbers in the settings to get it to work with LTE?

Well I have ATT straight talk from the Nano sim. After going from Tmobile, it seems the internet on ST like to turn off all the time, and is way slower than Tmobile's. Looks like next month I will be trying Cricket.
