Samsung Galaxy S III need help w/ APN settings for switching to Straight Talk

[GrooverMomma]

I have a G S III that was originally w/ t-mobile but the customer service help said I need to use the settings if it had been with AT&T???? That doesn't make sense to of the APN settings they gave me have worked. My husband has a GS II and in places where he has full coverage I have none w/ my GS III. Also my internet is extremely SLOW and I can not send or recieve pictures either. Can someone PLEASE give me the correct APN settings and any tips to speed up my internet ? THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!

Did you try these from the website?:Support | Straight Talk

 

[GrooverMomma]

Thanks for your response. I have tried several. All settings I have taken from the threads on here but there always seems to be some "glitch" that remains. I 'll try that one though. Do you know what actually makes the coverage better? I just don't understand why my husband has an S II & I have an sIII both with staright talk byo phone plan but side by side I have no bars & he has full coverage.

Tried that & I didn't have any internet access at all

@ wickedcontra. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! My gf was really upset, as she should have been that her phone wasn't working. A brand new unlocked GS3 from Best Buy. The settings that straight talk provided worked for about a month, and then just stopped. I've been fighting with this for almost a month now. Again, thanks.

Awesome, im glad it works for you.

So what's hipri for and will it work with/add anything to my ST T-mo settings?

@Blaize19.....ur settings work gr8t. They are the same that is sent w/instructions on how to setup the SIM card.
I did input those settings but since I didnt read the manual 4 the S3 I assumed it auto saved upon exiting. some of the settings I inputed wasnt there DUH!!!
So all day 2day I couldnt do nething but call and basic txt. No S Voice, no pic txting, no internet, no navigation, ONLY NETWORK errors.
I love GOOGLE......................it found this site.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3 need help w/ APN settings for switching to Straight Talk

Hey i have all those settings in my straighttalk samsung galaxy s3. it was an att phone but i cannot get the original att settings to delete so it will work off of the straighttalk settings. any idea how to do that?

Re: Samsung Galaxy S3 need help w/ APN settings for switching to Straight Talk

you can't delete them as far as I know. Just create a new APN and make sure you save it. Then switch to it.
