I woulnd delete the att APN then.
Just choose your newly created APN for ST.
AND.. when finished creating your new APN,
dont forget to "SAVE" it.
When in your new APN settings, tap the bottom left "menu" next to the home hard button.. Menu/save...
Then go back and chose the ST apn.
Put a green dot in it then press back back back to home.
You may have to wait a few seconds for it to start the new data flow.
Good Luck

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Sugarman.. your settings work for me for Phone and txt ONLY..
No data nor mms with your settings for me...

I get about 8 mbps down and 1.5 up.....It's 3g speeds basically...They state they have LTE/4G but I wouldn't hold to that one...I have never seen it yet...This what I would do...I would call and ask them if you're on the att.mvno or the tfdata mvno....If you have the newer sim on the BYOP plan..they tend to push you on the tfdata side...The att.mvno is for the older sims they were selling at get go...Also...check your mcc and mnc and see if it shows 310 for mcc and 410 for mnc...If it shows 260 for mcc that means it's a T-Mobile sim and you'll have to change the mms settings for T-Mobile...

You can also go here and put in your number and choose android 4.0/4.1 and it should also tell you what server you should be using...

One thing I will add...I had the same similar problems with the mms on my GT-N7000 and what I did was added the settings and saved and rebooted the phone...It would sit there after rebooted sending pictures...but for some reason it takes the server about 5 minutes to identify your service and settings and finally it'll start pushing them through...

An another thing just came to mind...Under Authentication type set it for PAP and CHAP.And add default,supl,mms under APN type..Now down at the bottom set Bearer to Unspecified then save..If you have it set for LTE it won't work...Been there done that one...

Thanks Sugarman. ... yeah, I bought my Sim kit @ Walmart 3 weeks ago.
I used the att variant because I have the 9205. No LTE either because my hardware doesn't support ATT's frequency for LTE.
And im in the "tf-data" APN settings.
Good enough for the price.
Do you know if T-Mobile's no contract 50 a month plan has the LTE frequencies compatible with the 9205?
Thanks

I know it has the 1700mhz band in the service menu...Can't say if it will work for sure...To access it...go to phone..and hit *#0011# hit your menu button and hit key input..Type 1..then back...Hit menu again and hit back again...Then it you should see a menu with phone control listed hit that and you can see supported bands etc...One thing...since the last OTA update and Knox was added...My i9200 won't go in to the service menu now..but before it would with this method...
