Straight Talk (T-Mobile) APN settings for MMS on (T-Mobile) Galaxy Note 2

Samsung_GS3 · Nov 16, 2012

Wanted to see if anyone has found the best APN settings for the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 on Straight Talk T-Mobile. Getting MMS has been a problem for me. Thanks.

also, I just ported my number from Straight Talk ATT to Straight Talk TMobile and my account still says "port in progess"....so Im wondering if that might have something to do with it....internet works fine...just not mms.

From my experience MMS won't work if you are on wifi.

Thank You,

Ill play around with that. I have heard sometimes when you port from ATT straight talk to Tmobile Straight talk some of the features take a while to kick in so im wondering if that might have something to do with it also. Did you just use the same settings Straight talk provided?

SC23 · Nov 16, 2012

Att and Tmobile have different APN settings. They should have provided you one with your Tmobile sim card. If not then you can easily Google it.

Thank You Very MUCH!!! It's just good to know if/when someone finds "better" settings for the APN other thank the ones that were provided by Straight Talk...

Again,

Thanks Much.

That's basically the same settings on Tmobile straight Talk that they give you. Except for apn I put in straight talk and everything works just fine for me. I hope it works for you either way.

OH i definitly tried those settings I just encountered a problem with MMS when those reccomended settings were inputed....but I think part of the problem was the fact that I had just ported my number from Straight Talk ATT to Straight Talk TMobile. I thinik the MMS features get delayed a bit during this proces.....might be good to konw or keep in mind if anyone is trying to port Straight talk ATT to Straight Talk Tmobile or vice versa..

Use these and in apn type you want default,supl,mms
Make sure there are no spaces sometimes it puts in a space automatically after the commas. The spaces prevent sending and receiving pictures

What does putting APN types default,supl,mms do? Also, Straight Talk card says to leave MMS port blank. Is it supposed to be 8080 or blank?

i wish someone would figure this out and just write a step by step guide. i have tried evry apn in the book or on the web and once i go back to m ST APN there is no signal except call, text. cant delete t mobs pan but if i highlight it i automatically get a 4g icon. ive spent 20 days with the non english speaking rep that i cant understand and still nothing. i now have a useless marble white note 2 home phone
yea i know i need to change my sig lol

Finally it works!

I know this is an old thread, but the settings suggestion from Geet dated 11-16-2012 definitely worked for me on my unlocked STAR N9500 Android phone with the Straight Talk SIM card installed!

Also, putting in the APN types as: default,supl,mms helped too. BE SURE there's no spaces, just commas separating the definers.

Thank You... Thank You! :good:

I was able to delete the T-Mobile APN by going into all field which showed info and making them blank, now when I tried to exit I was shown a message stating: "Can't leave Name Field Blank". So I just pressed the "HOME" button then did a restart and only the Straight Talk APN now shows.

Again... Thanks!

--Ensure Wi-Fi is off for proper test of web browsing

Just got it working so I don't have long term use results to share atm.
Yes, I bought the STBYOP pack for CMDA phones. No luck with instructions from the box.
Went to the website, entered cell IMEI and whatever else it asked for. Response = Your phone is not supported. #BullS!#T GN2 = Unlocked World phone.

Went back to the kit, found T-Moble sim, trimmed/cutoff the excess plastic. Easy enough with Swiss Army knife.
Replaced VZW sim with T-Mobile sim. Reboot. Waited a little for network activation and synch.
!!Had to get around my Avast Anti-Theft software. Unlock / Found the phone then Trust new sim.
!!Googled how to get rid of "Non Verizon Sim found" icon in notification area.

BAM! Up-n-running. No thanks to STBYOP customer support. Don't even think to get help from them. They will not think out-the-box to help you get right.
Big Up!!!

there is an app in the market that tells you what apn settings should be for each carrier. Also check to see if straight talk has their own app. Simple is affileated with them and it has its own app that basically installs the right apn settings for you.

Once you have reached your phone's APN (Access Point Name) settings, create a new APN with the following values.

APN Name: Straight Talk
APN: tfdata
Port: 80
MMSC:http://mms-tf.net
MLSProxy:mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port: 80

Delete the current APN from your phone.Reboot your phone.

The above setting posted by triniman06 do work exceedingly well. Thank you very much sir! I am running an unlocked GSM phone with a T-mobile SIM card and Sraight Talk monthly plan. One thing I would like to add is that it takes time for the phone to reboot in th o the new APN settings. So, after rebooting your device, turn off wi+fi, turn on your mobile data, and give the new APN setting a good 5 minutes to work. After letting the new APN settings "sink into" my phone, my mobile data service (which is 4G) seems to run about as fast as my Wi-Fi service. ?
