Edit APNs/Get MMS and data working on straight talk without a jailbreak...

[arcangelmk]

As far as unlockit goes I do not support it and do not know which profile you need to use. Once you're unlocked you can make the carrier data network screen come up and you won't need to have any profile installed. You just edit the apns mmsc and the proxy yourself.

So what happens if this doesn't work?
I have no "bastard" sim card to use (i.e. T-Mobile).

If you're on 5.0.1 you can do it the backup way or jailbreak way using ifunbox.

I'm on 6 w/an unlocked 4S.
iBackupBot won't save my changes.

Nope only possible way to do it is with an unlock and sim swap

So...assuming I can find a T-Mobile sim, is the sim supposed to be activated?

[arcangelmk]

no.

Nope, just buy one off ebay and then get er done! Its simple..i bought mine and have used it a few times since. ive done a few phones for ppl with it. Its easy as cake. Nice to keep around incase ya need it again, or find someone who needs the service done!

[arcangelmk]

I keep an eject tool and a couple of microsims in my wallet

[JGKC9AYC]

ok. Got the t-mobile sim, put it in, went to general, took it out, put my ST sim in, was able to enter the apn settings, shut down, restarted, shut down, restarted, tried to send a pic & still got the exclamation point.
Ideas?

[arcangelmk]

Type the exact settings you used please.

Cellular Data

It's still acting like it's not saving the settings.
Do I still need to use ibackup bot since I have the t-mobile sim?

[arcangelmk]

Take out the uaprof

[JGKC9AYC]

everytime I go back to the data settings, they're gone

[arcangelmk]

That's because swapping out the sim causes a fresh activation. Re input the settings.

In order to do that I must put the t-mobile sim back in because the network settings are gone

Go in there and cellular data network should be up there, go in and wait for it to finish activating.

I did this & still no go.
I'm about ready to sell this & get one I can jailbreak. Sooo much easier!

Hey anybody got a solution for this issue.

I have been setting up peoples iphone 4's lately using these methods but it is so time consuming. I have to pay a guy to unlock wait 1 day then get the iphone authorize it to my computer (which requires the users apple id and psswd) then transfer purchases then backup and I always have to do a complete restore. Then restore once more from backup to get the unlock through. Then I do the tmob sim swap method. Other than having the person who owns the phone do there own unlock I am at a loss for a quicker way to do this. Any thoughts?

Don't understand why you are having so many problems doing this.... here use the instructions from Howard Forums site to do it. It is the same as the OP in this thread just explained a little different . Can't post links for 7 more days so put the "http" in front of the 2 forward slashes: //wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Straight_Talk_iPhone#Data_for_non-Jailbroken_devices

Hope this helps!

Can you please repost plist again as I am trying to get my MMS working with ST. I tried your fix before and worked perfectly. Then several months ago it stopped working. Now I cant get it working again.
