Straight Talk MMS issue resolved

I just wanted to say thank you! I have a Samsung galaxy s3 through at&t and I just switched over to straight talk now that my 2 year contract is over with At&t. My picture messaging wasn't working and now it is thanks to your post. All I needed was to add to the APN type

Where do I find these settings on the phone? I am having the same issue and can not receive MMS

the settings that you need go into the mauual apn configurations of youre txt messeging app

I haven't been able to send multimedia messages since I got my GS3 from ST a few months ago, when I goto my home page, press the menu button and go into the settings area, there is no Apn settings. Go into the more settings area under wireless & network settings there is no Apn settings for me to edit like my other st phones have had.
I'm pretty sure your post is 100% accurate I just can't figure out or find the settings area I need as easily as I have been in the past.
Please help and thank you for any help/my tech ignorance.

Under my Mobile network there is only Mobile data, nothing else. Could that be because mine is a straight talk phone? I have never been able to send picture text since i bought this phone. Keeps saying "invalid address".

I have had Straight Talk for about 2 years ...and I noticed that the 4g is not so fast with my slightly used AT&T S5 ....I sure could use some more data bandwidth.... but can't give up my old phone number...I have to port .........Is there is there a reason why I shouldn't port my new Straight Talk SIM card?

strong text I just got my straight talk samsung galaxy s3 today. I cant receive MMS picture messages but I can send them. I tried looking online to fix the problem but I cant find anything. I do not have the APN setting, I only have the VPN setting. Can you help me? Thank you!

Show me what what your apn settings are....you might have an error or errors.

I just wanted to say thanks. I can now send and receive picture messages.

Hi, I have.the exact same problem. Did you ever figure.out an answer? I also have no apv just vpn and can't send picture messages.to anyone or myself.

The original APN settings provided in the first post by asample is what finally solved my MMS issue with Straight Talk. I already had the APN settings that they had, but had not found the APN Type details listed the way that they did. I updated that setting and my problems are solved.

I have an unlocked at&t galaxy 5 that I just set up with straight talk. Have been using just over a week. Everything works except mms. I tried your settings but still does not work

You are a life saver!

You are a life saver!

I still have issues....two phones with ST, an S4 and S6. All was fine until about 2 weeks ago when MMS stopped working. Fixed the settings to correct that issue, but now can not get internet without Wifi. If I fix the Wifi issue, then no MMS. What's the trick to get both working correctly again. This is very frustrating. Thanks in advance for the help!!

I had tried for 2 yrs to get the settings right on my husbands phone and I had done a factory reset on his phone so thought I would check the web again for correct settings for him to send and receive text pictures and Whala this was the fix! Thanks so much for this

Thank you! And yes all I changed was the APN type and it's working perfectly!

I have a Note 3 and have been with st for almost a year. MMS has worked fine until today. Any suggestions to fix the problem?

Is the information in parenthesis also to be included in the MMSC. And also for the APN type are all those nametobe entered as such or just one of them?

I have a galaxy s5 ,tried other apns that didn't work,this solved my problems, thx so much.

So i used the info that ST gave me, and it did not work, even though it does work on my friends phone and it is the same as mine. Your setting worked. Thank You so very much...

OMG Thank you so much!!!! I have been trying to get my phone back since I had to reset it a month ago. I have visited so many sites even straight talk themselves to no avail, and a lot of frustration. Came across you on search and you made my day. The only thing I reset was the APN TYPE and as you said that was all I had to do. You are wonderful, great, and woohoo glad you posted your fix. I can now send pics of my newly fostered rats, lol bet you're happy to hear you helped for that haha. Thank you again, have a wonderful day, I know I will.

Thank you.....it worked on my Samsung Galaxy Note!

I just want to thank you for posting this. I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 active, just changed from ATT to Straight Talk. The APN settings gave me a headache, then I found your post.
Same thing could not send or receive pictures. It was the APN type and maybe the Multimedia message proxy. These settings work great and you are also right about straight talk they did nothing but confuse me more.

Easily confused

Thank god for your post! I have a SG NOTE 4 and I transferred my service to it on Black Friday to a new sim card. At first it all worked perfect. For 1 day! Then all service reverted back to my old sim and phone. I called straight talk and it took 2 days to get my note 4 working again. But now this time MMS dI'd not work. I was just about to give up until I tried this and IT WORKED!!! DATA , MMS, AND SERVICE ALL WORKS! And faster too!!! This has been on going since November 24th 2017. The only thing straight talk failed to do with me was give the correct APN Type. How hard is it for then to relay correct information! Seriously! If it wasn't for this post they would have lost yet another member! Thank you tremendously!!

I have tried 5 other ways per instructions from other websites but this one worked on both of my unlocked straight talk Samsung S6 Active phones. Thank you.

One of the best devices I have had !!
