Multiple dilemmas

[AC Question]

Hi everybody, all assistance is greatly appreciated with this somewhat lengthy question. I have an unlocked Galaxy 4 (T-Mobile M919) I purchased to use with a Pure Talk SIM in the States, and others overseas. I love the Pure Talk service, but the phone WILL NOT get the data. I've spent probably an hour total with their tech people...very helpful, we went through all the settings, etc., and at the end of the day they have no idea why this is occurring. Something engineered into an M919? If I decide to sell it and try another, is the I9505 a good way to go? Is it TRULY unlocked, no carrier BS with it, or would a ATT I337 be more suitable? I really do need one I can just throw a SIM from anywhere in it and be off and running. Thanks to all for any input.

You'll probably have to mess with the APN settings of the phone.

They also have the S4 here: Samsung Galaxy S4 - Pure TalkUSA

Did that for quite a while, first while looking at that link online, then with their tech people. Nothing. Talk & text are lightning fast and perfect, and yes, I do have the data plan, and data is turned on.
