Ive tried everything. triple verified settings. I was wondering if some one could provide screenshots of a fully functional At&t sim APN settings?

Everything works except I cant receive MMS. If you have one that receives mms please post!
Thank you in advance

Copied from my e-mail from Straight Talk. Triple check your settings as I had a minor typo that was preventing mine from working correctly.

APN PROGRAMMING FOR MOST PHONE MODELS:

Once you have reached your phone's APN (Access Point Name) settings, create a new APN with the following values.
1. APN Name: Straight Talk
2. APN: tfdata
3. Port: 80
4. MMSC: http://mms-tf.net
5. MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com
6. MMS Port: 80
7. Delete the current APN from your phone.
8. Reboot your phone.
If you need further instructions on how to create the new APN (Data Settings) click here.

I just set up ST with those same settings. MMS works for me. I decided to try T-Mobile, StraightTalk (At&T), and then AT&T. So far ST is better for me than TM in So. Cal.

Do you happen to have the Google Voice app on your phone? I have the N4 and am on ST-AT&T. When I had the GV app on my phone, MMS wouldn't work, but when I uninstalled it, MMS would work. I still use GV for voicemail, but I just don't use the app.

Interesting. I'll try removing it. But I only use it for voice mail.

I can send. Just not receive. And I am a new St customer. Not sure if that has any bearing. I have those settings.
But I would like to see a screen shot of the rest of the settings to see if mine are the same.

I am having the same issue on Metro PCS. But, I think it is the network issue and want to talk to them about it since when I put my Nexus 5 on as a GSM device that is really on T-Mobile networks since Metro is still CDMA. I have flipped form Textra, 8SMS and back to Hangout trying to get pictures texted to me which is MMS.

I used the Straight Talk APN Settings with ATT Sim, 5 days later it worked, the same time as I received an email confirming the setup for auto-refill was verified.
Patience seems to have cured the problem.

Buy a new sim. It's that simple. Anyone who uses straight talk should just buy 2 Sims. Activate with the first one. Then... Transfer over to the 2nd one.
