Verizon branded but trying to get it to work on straight talk

[Vlosaloty]

I just bought a S5 that is Verizon branded but came unlocked and I'm trying to get it to work on straight talk. Can anyone give me the data settings that work? I can receive phone calls and texts but have no mobile data. Also when I turn phone off and back on I get this warning that says Sim card is unknown? what is that about? If you can help I'll appreciate it.

Hello sorry I haven't responded sooner haven't been on but yeah I'll give you them. I have found a couple that has worked. It was working great past week then we got that update yesterday and all sudden it changed on me and now the 4GLTE is somewhat iffy and I lose signal for bout 30 secs after a phone call since the update and then it never comes back to a 4GLTE for a long time after I have it off of wifi
