Does anyone knows how to get data and mms on straight talk IOS 6

[robobrum]

So I have a 4s on straight talk, and I did the t-mobile sim swap method. It appears when I turn my phone off, all the settings go back to how they were before, and MMS stops working.

Anyone else having this issue? I'm loving the $45 thing, and not having MMS is not a huge deal, but if it is possible, I would love to figure this out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just used ebay. If you go to a Tmobile store it is I think 8.99. ebay example is


Sim Card, T-Mobile, brand new | eBay

I ordered my sim and unlock code from Ebay. Unlock code was emailed to me. Followed the Utube sim swap method. after unlock took about 10 minutes. to read and view everything. Works great. One last thing I already had a sim cutter so was not bound by the smaller sim. Sim cutters run about 3.99. Let me know if you need any help. Peace

what worked for me with the sim swap method is to click the reset settings button in the cellular data network screen after you have put in the straight talk sim back in the phone. it will show the default apn settings that you will change. now after rebooting several times my mms and data are still working

[yefri135]

so you mean that if i put the tmobile sim card in and i get to cellular data network and then i put the straight talk sim card in and then i press reset i will get the right APN setting for straight talk and all i have to do after that is reboot the phone and thats it ?

[drizzy02]

no, after you put in your straighttalk sim, you click reset at the bottom so that it shows the default apn settings from att, you replace those with the right straighttalk settings, then you can reboot

[yefri135]

oh ok thanks

Won't u still loose all your settings once u power down your device still afterwards?

I have yet to do the sim swap method.

Needs to be something more permanent I don't understand why they can't just send carrier update settings like tmobile did when I put in a uk sim I got message in iTunes to change once I did.

Maybe I can write them an email to see if they will possibly look into it. Lol like something will happen..

i have contact straight talk about sending a carrier update for iphone mms setting but apparently they dont care and they are not interested

You won't lose settings with the 4s, Can't speak to other versions of the Iphone. I have read mixed success. I have seen nothing on the Iphone 5, but it is worth a try, just follow the video on the sim swap and don't jump ahead. On the iphone 5 , I would guess you will need a Tmobile sim, and cut it down to iphone 5 size. Those two things the sim and sim cutter should be about 10.00. Good luck

Will give it a shot on the 5 jus heard a lot but reboot & settings gone.

Hopefully mine stay put..

Will reboot few times & update if worked on 5.

those sim swap methods are annoying i which someone come up with a better method its like when you add the APN with that method your network speed its cut in more than half it just sucks

[drizzy02]

a reboot wont lose your apn settings, only when you remove your sim card

i have my ipone 4 on ios 6.0.1 and straight talk
i just use tetherme to get my data and mms settings working
iTunes has a program but it only fixed the data and not mms

Believe it or not everybody is doing the FOR the mms. Some just could not get anything to work but the mms is the ball buster!

[yefri135]

i guess we are stuck with mms not working or using the sim swap method ........how annoying !!!!!

Hey all. New to the forum. I have been using an iphone for years but have just made the switch to ST. I should be getting my sim and air time tomorrow so I will be trying to figure everything out. No doubt I will be hitting up the more knowledgeable people here.
