Re: Data Problems (as in none): Nexus 4 with Straight Talk -- Resolved FINALLY Well, folks, the squeaky wheel got greased. My two-page rant to S/T's Executive Problem Resolution resulted in a phone call from someone who gave me a new setting from what they've been providing, and my Nexus 4 can...

Thanks for the suggestions. I hate the thought of going back to T-Mo (I left because of their lousy customer service, as well as their cutting back on the things my almost smart phone could do without a data plan, all the while trying to force me to buy data), but now that entities like MVNOs...

As a forum novice I didn't know it was easier to keep track of replies to one's posts if the OP selected the "reply with quote" option. So you may not know that I responded with "a great big thank you for spending the time you spent on my problem." Thanks again. L

I'm taking my toys (N4) and going home -- or at least to a provider who will give me the data I've been paying for. The sim S/T sent me when I joined in November with a Samsung Memoir (T-Mo) enabled voice and text, but not data. Samsung, T-Mo, and S/T got their arms all twisted pointing at...

I tried all three, powering off and waiting a full minute after each one. although it didn't work for data, the phone still stayed on the s/t network from standpoint of voice and text msging. so curious. it makes me wonder why s/t is so specific about the settings it says are necessary, and...

Are these for straight talk? i'm trying the first one, and i'm not sure whether there is a typo for password and or server. should password be blank, and server be followed by asterisk, or should the password be "server: *" i thank you for your help, whether or not one of these variants...

I'm so frustrated. So sick of lousy customer service, of paying for services i'm not getting, of having a nice shiny new toy that is only partially functional. straight talk tells me to go to the manufacturer (as if LG could or would do anything). and meanwhile the SIM S/T provided did not...

thanks. that's good to know. i'll try to establish whether problem is with the sim card first, and if not, maybe i'll have to return the darn phone.

i sure wish my problem were that simple. according to s/t, i've had the correct settings from the start (it would be hard not to: the SIM they sent me came accompanied with an instruction sheet with the settings; but then just to make sure, over the telephone they had me delete and re-enter...

maybe, but i seriously doubt it. i came over to straight talk with a samsung memoir, and with the same sim before i converted it to a micro, i had the exact same difficulties: good voice and text messaging, but no data.

I purchased an unlocked nexus 4 last month to go with my prepaid unlimited voice + data on straight talk. i had previously joined s/t via BYOP from T-Mo (also didn't have data with my old phone, but S/T said I'd need answers from Samsung and T-Mo, and the latter two said "Only the other can...
