After what seemed like YEARS of talking to Straight Talk (with them arguing that my Samsung Galaxy Appeal isn't compatible with their system, EVEN though it's a no contract AT&T phone to WHICH I have a compatible sim card), I FINALLY was able to get it working through these settings, ONLY to have them shut it off for three wks. APPARENTLY I went over my UNLIMITED data, so got suspended. Put it their APN after my suspension was up and NOTHING. Came back here, and it STILL works! Thanks, my man!

Re: APN Settings for Internet and MMS for Straight Talk Huawei Ascend W1
PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP!!!
After many days, I managed to setup my MMS APN using the wap.tracfone extension. This APN setup also allows browsing to be smoother. It does not take long as long as you follow these steps:
1. Access this website for the latest list off MMS APN and data codes:
Updated: How to Setup Straight Talk & NET10 Data and MMS on Android, iPhone & Windows Phone | Prepaid Phone News
2. From your phone's Homepage, go to Settings > Celluar > Data Connection. Set as off.
3. Scroll down to the two (2) buttons labeled "edit internet apn" and "edit mms apn."
-- If these buttons read "add internet apn" and "add mms apn," proceed to step 5.
4. Under each, select the Trash Can icon, deleting any existing internet apn or mms apn.
5. Back (<-) out of your Cellular settings and scroll down to network settings.
-- Under "Current Internet APN" drop-box you may have a default APN listed. This can not be deleted.
6. Proceed to tap the Add icon and setup a new Connection Name: "Straight Talk."
7. Use the "T-Mobile SIM" setup to complete the necessary APN, Username (re-enter APN) & Port, leaving the Authentication type as NONE.
8. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT - Under proxy server use 216.155.165.40 specified in annotation number 5 (beneath the chart).
-- I'd tried 66.209.11.33 over and over to no avail before using the above proxy and sequence of steps.
9. Save this setting, and under the Current Internet APN drop-box make sure the new "Straight Talk" APN is listed.
-- If you get a message that "The connection or sequence contains no elements." Press OK and disregard.
10. Back (<-) out to your Settings list and scroll back up to Cellular > Data Connection.
11. Under each the "add internet apn" and "add mms apn" setup the same information listed under "T-Mobile SIM."
But, FYI:
-- Under internet apn, enter the APN, Username (re-enter APN) proxy server (216.155.165.40) & port.
-- Under mms apn, enter the APN, Username (re-enter APN), MMSC (URL), and MMSC port.
12. Save your settings by pressing the disk icon after entering each the "add internet apn" and "add mms apn" information.
13. Once saved, remain under the "cellular settings" screen. Scroll back up to Data Connection and set as ON.
14. Return to the Homescreen, and power off your phone.
15. Once you've rebooted, ensure that your Data Connection is set as ON and test by:
-- Opening your web browser.
-- MMS yourself a picture or video.
FYI - To avoid having to download MMS messages, under Settings > applications (swipe left or right) > messaging. Set "Automatically download MMS" to ON.

I only have one APN setting and everything works fine. Had problems sending MMS but where eveyone says to leave out the // in MMSC I put them in mine is MMSC http://mmsc.cingular.com and everything works fine. Everything I read said to leave out the // but couldn't receive pictures just put them in and everything worked good. Just thought this might help because on my phone you can have only one APN active at a time. I use a Samsung Galaxy Captivate SHG-I897.
Can you share the exact settings on your Samsung Rugby Smart? Are you using ATT or TMobile SIM? I can use data and receive MMS using the settings here and the one's provided by ST but I am never able to download the picture on MMS messages
Just an update on what finally worked for me. I am using a Samsung Rugby Smart (SCH-i847) that was originally purchased from AT&T. I purchased an AT&T SIM from Straight Talk on Aug 11, 2013 - presumably the newer SIMs that require you to use tfdata for the APN. I used the Straight Talk settings from apn.straighttalkbyop.com. Everything worked except being able to receive MMS messages. I then installed Handcent SMS (free app) on the phone and all MMS starting working properly!
I spent hours on forums and calls with Straight Talk and no settings worked (you may see some people using att.mvno for their APN but that apparently does not work for users with the newer SIMs). Finally, installing Handcent SMS worked!

Thanks for the link! I tried several of the other posts settings, the "pre paid news" link worked for me, I have internet and mms now, only took about 2 hours! Galaxy S4 Zoom with straighttalk.

But how do I go about creating 2 different APN's .. this is getting confusing on my phone...
I had the problem going through forums trying to find the settings that work for my phone but to no success but I finally figured it out and I'm posting it on here just in case some one else has my same problem.
I had to create two separate APN's one for internet and one for MMS. Settings are as follows:
Internet:
Name: Straight Talk Internet
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port: 80
User Name: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server: Not Set
MMSC: Not Set
MMS Proxy: Not Set
MMS Port: Not Set
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: PAP or CHAP
APN Type: Internet
APN Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
MMS
Name: Straight Talk MMS
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: Not Set
Port: Not Set
User Name: Not Set
Password: Not Set
Server: Not Set
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: PAP or CHAP
APN Type: Internet+MMS
APN Protocol: IPv4
Bearer: Unspecified
Do not forget to create two separate APN's!!!!!
Good Luck!!!
Once you get in to the APN menu, hit the menu button and create a new APN.

I have a samsung galaxy 3 that I unlocked from Verizon to go to straight talk but I can only get Wi-Fi and it says my SIM card is not supported. I went to change my apn but there isn't anything there and it won't let me add or change anything. Anybody know what I need to do. Every thing works but the SIM card
Which APN setting do u pick once you input them both into the phone? Straight Talk Internet or Straight Talk MMS?
How did you get it to work..I am having issues with getting my appeal to connect to the internet.
