Why does my LG Stylo keep flipping back to cricket when I have a straight talk sim card?

[AC Question]

Are my settings incorrect? I have had straight talk since January and then no service for Feb and March and now my LG Stylo keeps acting like it is back to the original Cricket service. Why?

 

[RumoredNow]

Is it Cricket branded?

Cricket is the toughest nut to crack for SIM sharing across ATT partners without an unlock.

Example: Any AT&T style SIM will work in any AT&T or ATT mvno phone even without an unlock. GoPhone will work with ATT, GoPhone, ST, Cricket, Net10, what have you.

But Cricket does some hinky dink in their Firmware so that only a Cricket SIM will work in a Cricket branded phone. Weird and contrary to the rule that any ATT style SIM works in any ATT style phone...

If your phone was not unlocked by Cricket it is a no go.
