    How to fix send/receive mms on unlocked att htc m8 from verizon?

    I just recently got a Verizon HTC One M8 and I couldn't get voicemail or MMS to work either. While searching I saw your post and was beginning to lose hope but... I just spent an hour on the phone with AT&T and I was able to get voicemail working after they manually set it up to work by dialing...

    Can you use the Atrix HD on Straight Talk?

    I just got an AT&T Atrix HD (not unlocked) and I am using it on Net10 with an AT&T compatible SIM. I have Data and MMS working. Since ST and Net10 are the same company, the APN settings I used might work for those having issues. APN Name: NET10 APN: wap.tracfone MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com...

    Can we get straight answer, finally, on Straight Talk????

    Thanks for the link. I guess ST CDMA is out of the question haha I'm now seriously considering the $30 T-Mobile deal for Unlimited data, text and 100 minutes and also getting a cheap VZW pre-paid flip phone for calls in the event that the T-Mobile phone doesn't get service in an emergency.

    Can we get straight answer, finally, on Straight Talk????

    I've never seen anything about ST using Sprint... I'll have to do more research. If I wanted to stay with Sprint, Virgin Mobile would be the best bet for me. Obviously I would lose roaming on VM but then again, my Sprint phones rarely roam on VZW like they're supposed to anyway. It will roam for...

    Can we get straight answer, finally, on Straight Talk????

    I'm in Chandler and I'm considering Straight Talk. I currently have Sprint and as you said, Sprint is Sloooooooow and has been getting worse. You know it is bad when you have an Airave and it still sometimes roams haha How is your ST service in the area? I see you have GSM but I heard that the...

    Sprints plans compared to others (price wise)

    Re: Wow, so many under-informed Sprint customers here Yes, you are correct that Sprint can repair or replace without a claim. I suppose I didn't list every possible scenario. I was thinking of a phone needing to be replaced more so than being repaired. Speaking of repaired... While were...

    Sprints plans compared to others (price wise)

    You should be paying about $185/mo right now... Sprint "surcharges" and taxes usually come out to about $15/mo on my bill. As for Insurance, I would definitely cancel it. I personally think it is a scam. Look at it this way.... $8/mo x2 over the course of a 2yr contract is $384. That is just...

    Sprints plans compared to others (price wise)

    Get off of the "Unlimited" plan and switch to the "Everything Data Plan" (I think that's what it's called). I have 2 lines on a family plan. We share 1500 minutes (free nights, weekends and all calls to any cell phone regardless of carrier are free) Unlimited text and Unlimited data and I pay...

    ICS Caller ID Issue

    Yes, I ignored a call from my wife because it didn't say her name while the phone was ringing but it did show her name on the missed calls list.

    Weird text message from unknown sender

    I also get these only when the weather is bad so I'm assuming its the new weather alerts that supposedly don't work on ns4g. My work phone is a Verizon dumb phone that gets weather alerts and they always come on the same days.

    Has anyone received EL30 OTA Update

    I got the update yesterday and it appears to have gone smoothly. One thing to note... My phone was stock Gingerbread. I bought it used (not refurbished) and it was rooted with a stock rom. For some reason I just don't trust used rooted phones that I don't know all of the details about so I...

    Lost the camera lens. Now takes better pictures!

    I've owned several Evo's and for some reason it seems they each had different results with regards to pictures. Some phones took great pics, others were grainy and some had a blue tint. The Evo I have now takes somewhat blurrier pics than some of the others. I decided to take off the lense to...

    Ever got Sprint to replace Phone outside the 30 days?

    This isn't exactly relevant to what the OP was asking since my story doesn't involve switching to a different model phone after the trial period, but I figured I would share anyway since it's somewhat related. I may have found a loophole within Sprint... (this loophole may have since been...

    Brand New PRL UPDATE!!! 60683

    Im confused... I thought the prl (preferred roaming list) only had to do with updating the list of towers for roaming? Aka if a roaming agreement with another carrier changes, it either adds or removes certain towers from your list. If sprint doesn't allow for 3G roaming, how can this affect...

    Texts are coming in out of order

    Had the same thing happen to me and I saw another thread about deleting the cache for the messaging app in "applications" then "settings" and that fixed it for my stock messaging app.
