Wink GSII AT&T APN settings

After have gone from a dumb plan back to the unlimited smartphone data, I'm so happy as I had comitted the biggest mistake ever. I found this new settings to work for both internet and mms combined. Follow this settings:

first make sure you are on a 3G or 4G data plan

Settings are as followed:

(any other fields not mentioned, leave blank)

Name: HSPA+
APN: Phone
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: internet+mms


So far they have been working for me and I have noticed faster data speeds as well as I'm able to send and receive mms picture msg.

There's already a long discussion on this in the dev forum. I suggest it be continued there. The same ah ha! you just declared was made there and the results were inconsistent. People who changed to more expensive 4G plans still got lower speeds than people on bastard plans in the same locations. Anything having to do with 4G on AT&T is a big YMMV.

Hey, no need to apologize, I'm not the boss of anyone. What happens though as threads like this pop up is that people on bastard plans starting freaking out that they're missing something. Than after dozens of "yes it does, no it doesn't" posts people upgrade to more expensive plans and some don't see any difference. Why everyone's experiences are so different is beyond me. If I thought moving to a real 4G plan would get me consistently better results I'd do it in a heartbeat. But the risk of paying more for the same or less based on the experiences of others that went before me keeps me on my bastard plan.

Trying these for giggles, post some results in a sec.
These are results from the north Houston area.

First on default APN


Dev section APN


This thread's APN


The default APN was very off and not stable at all, mainly jumping from 1 to 3 mbps. The Dev section APN stayed consistantly at 5ish mbps, and the last so far stayed at 9+ mbps
