i have straighttalk and actually i have all my families swwithc over from att to straight talk, i used to have granddata from att which is 30$ unlimited but i dropped that to straighttalk.

ST used ATT tower so you would get same speed as 3G on att, also its not just 2G limited. I got one acct closed out without refund because i was using too much data, after gone through that experienced and talked to managers, supervisor, even higher manager, i found out its the data they lock you out its the connection. For example if you have are on you tube let say for 15mins and data over media around 50mb (like watch trailer with 720 or 1080) and you dont close out youtube but the data on youtube or on your cell phone keep transmit the data through tower then you will get lock out close out account, well you will get first warner first then they going to survey you and turn on you data again but 2nd time they will close your account.

But if you watch youtube for let say 50mins and data wwas already 2G, and you are still ok if you close out all of connection, like end task on droid, or iphone i quit all app, or even reboot and turn on again..then the data will reset then you can continue watching another 2G again...

They told me the data is unlimited, you can use 15G total a day or 20G a day total, it doesnt matter as long you close out connection right after browser or watch youtube of each session then you are good.

Hope this help

But your account will raise the flag no matter what...They will call you 2 times and block your account if you are not slow down the data. They called me two time this time but i got Data app on my phone which monitor how much i used so i can fight with them.

They will conduct a phone to phone questions and enable your data again if you get block..YOU need to CALL THEM IMMEDIATELY WHEN YOU GET THEIR VOICE MAIL otherwise if you ignored like i did they will block and non refund on service left and non refund on the phone.

Just use carefully thats all. Its definitely cheaper than ATT plans 3G..

When on the phone, you should not say you use youtube or anything to stream media.

because TOS of ST , is unlimited web browser not data if you read it carefully. I know i argued that with them because they advertise unlimited data not unlimited web browser by that mean you can unlimited web browser but not unlimited streaming media..

I just got my ST SIM last night and it had a virtual IMEI or something on a red card to type in during activation.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rock_80:
Im up and running too no fuss on the setup
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lonelime:
Very good info..thanks

Anybody get this working on the leaked ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xristiano:
Here is my before speeds with Tmobile edge, and after with Straight Talk...at half the cost!

Be warned: I ordered a GSM unlocked type SIM card, which uses Att towers. However, initially they did not want to activate it because I was coming from Tmobile. They wanted to keep me on tmobile towers. After some *****ing and a short discussion with tier 2 porting agents, I was up and running.

Very satisfied with these speeds at $45/month.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
Awesome speeds!! I hope to get the same..My sim card is suppose to be here today. I ordered the at&t sim to make sure I would be on their network since tmobile is really good in my area also.

HTC HD 7.5

Dose anyone know how to configure Straight Talk for HTC HD7 to use data and MMS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
Okay just got my sim card and used the apn settings that came with straight talk..

Everything seemed fine and I got great speeds but when I went to download a kernel that was on some file hosting site it showed site not found but worked fine on wifi.

Changed to these apns and everything world now!! All web pages etc and speeds are shown below..I have fast dormancy disabled and my speeds suffered when it was enabled.

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xristiano:
Initially, I used the APN settings that ST suggested, and everything was fine. Then the phone stopped downloading items and streaming music and youtube videos. I tried the settings in the OP. However, only the browser and gmail seem to be connecting to data.

Is anyone else having problems downloading or listening to Pandora?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
nope..been streaming Netflix the past couple hours.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xristiano:
I'm back to streaming. Maybe I just needed a day for the new APN settings to kick in or maybe ST reset something?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
The only issue im having is sometimes my internet doesnt reconnect..so i have to toggle fast dormancy on and off to get it working.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PorscheGuy:
I read that it should always be OFF as AT&T doesn't support it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
Yeah I know but problem is my data doesnt connect so i have no choice but to alternate it on and off.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PorscheGuy:
Yeah, this is becoming a very annoying problem this week. :( Has anyone tried calling Straight Talk support yet?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
Well considering Im using a APN that they didnt provide I have no plans on calling myself..It only takes me a few seconds to toggle it and have it going again..Once its going its fine it just happens when I have the screen off for a long time..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PorscheGuy:
Don't want to jinx myself, but everything is working now as of today. On Friday evening Straight Talk said AT&T was having network issues in my area by the way...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twistedchild420:
My note will be here Tuesday....i'm ordering a Straight Talk sim tomorrow. My question is if i use my AT&T go phone sim until my ST sim gets here will i be okay?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xristiano:
Yup. This week I've been toggling my data too. otherwise data won't connect.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twistedchild420:
Well here we are....gonna call them in a minute to set up the activation
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
You can avoid calling them and set it up on their website if you want.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twistedchild420:
Yeah i learned that after already calling ...lol Damn service still hasn't transferred over from my AT&T SGS2 yet :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Hirudin:
It took a very long time for my transfer as well. It was less than 12 hours though IIRC.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twistedchild420:
Damn....kinda sucks...lol i don't really wanna start going crazy with all the rooting and rom'ing and so forth until after it's activated....bored as **** at work...lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
took about a day for all my stuff to transfer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sprintuser1977:
I put in my sim, signed up online, everything worked immediately. No issues

From the Beast : Galaxy Note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Hirudin:
Were you porting a number or getting a new one? I'm guessing that porting takes longer than being assigned a new one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sprintuser1977:
Got new one. Was on T-Mobile m2m

From the Beast : Galaxy Note
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twistedchild420:
Yeah...that's the reason then...i'm porting my old AT&T #
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twistedchild420:
Not too shabby straight talk!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Hirudin:
I may have made it work on one build of ICS. I haven't tested it very much, but initially it appears that the internet works at the very least. Basically all I did was type "default" into the "APN type" field instead of choosing "internet" in the first APN.

I updated the original post to try to clearly describe the difference... Please check it out!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ronkuba:
I'm on team rocket v1.5 ICS, here are the settings that work for me.

APN1

Name - Internet

APN - AT&T.mvno

APN type - default,supl

APN2

Name - MMS

APN - AT&T.mvno

MMSC - http://MMSC.cingular.com

MMS Proxy - proxy.mvno.tracfone.com

MMS port - 80

APN type - mms
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rock_80:
Oddly enough my net mms all work great with sim apn settings only thing that doesnt work is speedtest app fails after the ping
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Hirudin:
Ah, you also have "supl" in the first APN. I did a quick look on the net and it looks like "supl" is for assisted GPS. Does anyone know if it does anything else?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
When I switched to this I have been missing my visual voicemail..I wanted to let you guys know that Youmail.com does work with Straight Talk.

Just a fyi
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] deserthi:
When you have two APNs like this how do you use them. Like which one for what.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PorscheGuy:
You don't have to do anything. That's what the "APN Type" setting is for.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ScandaLeX:
Hello all!!! This is new to me so I'm looking for some clarity. Are these unlocked international notes you're using or from at&t? I'm trying to understand "your unlocked note."

I'm with Sprint & so far everything regarding the Sprint/Verizon Note/Journal is pure rumor so I'm looking at other options.

T.I.A.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sjhotwings:
i don't know why u need to make 2 apn ? i use 1 apn and it works fine , internet , message etc... You can find the apn setting at straighttalksim.com ( click support ) and there instruction below
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
Most of us are using the internatinal version N-7000

I'm on straight talk as well and want to turn off dormancy but can't seem to get into the system menu.

Isn't it #1234# on the dial pad?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ronkuba:
I get faster speeds using the dual apn's than I do with straight talk apn. Straight talk 1-2mbps, dual 2-4mbps
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
no its *#*#9900#*#*
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ccampbell1:
My data on both Straight Talk and AT&T proper (I have a SIM for each) became totally unusable today. I cannot ping anything, speedtest fails, cannot do anything. The one time I got it to slightly work, I got a downlink speed of 1Kbps - yes I said 1Kbps!

I thought it was perhaps a temporary network problem - but I tried both SIMs in a Galaxy Nexus and data was absolutely fine.

The APN configuration on my Note GT-N7000 was working fine until today, I haven't changed anything.

Are AT&T and/or Straight Talk doing some funky IMEI filtering or something else? I cannot figure out why for the life of me this just stopped working.

I've tried turning fast dormancy on and off - makes no difference.

Any help of suggestions much appreciated!

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaypeezee:
What's the verdict on Dormancy - Enabled or Disabled... I read it's not supported by AT&T but others post it has an impact on their speeds; placebo?

I've conducted my unofficial test - where I live I averaged 1-2mbps download. When I'm in Downtown LA, I average 3-5mbps. I chalk this up to HSPA+ enabled towers (am I wrong?)

Just disabled to see what I get... and will report back but wanted to get some input for the time being.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] access.denied:
thank you sir.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
I have it turned off on mine..the only issues i have is sometimes my data doesnt seem to reconnect but i believe thats an issue with at&t.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] okayfine:
Any updates? Mine on ATT GoPhone plan stopped working too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bryanh85:
Got got my International note today and used your listed settings. At first, MMS wouldn't send but I figured out it was because my wifi was on. Everything works flawlessly. Thanks!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Twistedchild420:
Switched from the straight talk APN to the 2 listed in this thread and i noticed a significant speed boost.....i suggest trying if you have not.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] deserthi:
Maybe you could tell me how the two APNs are used. Do you switch and if so what are the reasons for two and why do you switch. From this one because of this and that one because of that? I asked this question before but no one gave an answer.

Please tell.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PorscheGuy:
I just did the same today and noticed a decent difference! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] thph2006:
Question: Do these settings apply only to ICS Notes? I'm on GB and my Note only has radio buttons for APN types Internet, MMS and Internet+MMS. No apparent way to enter default,supl like your example. Also does the APN literally need to be AT&T.mvno rather than att.mvno as in the Straight Talk instructions?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sjhotwings:
lol yup im in gingerbread too, can't set default,supl so i guess its for ics only
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bjafari:
I'm not getting my data to work with the settings listed in the original post for my straighttalk sim for my new international note, anyone have suggestions?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jaypeezee:
Double and triple check that you are doing it correct.... Another thing to note (no pun intended) which method are you using... e71 Sim swap or the bring your own device Sim.. Some have reported that the bring your own device settings do not work with the e71 Sim swap method and vise versa...

as to the above question its not specific to ICS or GB but more of the device you are configuring. Default means don't touch that setting... Just leave it as is.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] adelmundo:
I'll be getting my Note tomorrow and I have a bring your own phone sim. What are the settings for the bring your own sim?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] daddymatt:
Im on GB and Im using the settings here and they work great. I have a Nokia sim and Im pulling 3 1/2 down and 1 up.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SC36DC:
I just received my White Note today. It was extremely easy activating the sim card with Straight Talk, and just as easy setting the APN settings thanks to the first post!

Averaging (in my house) 3+ mbps down and 1+ mbps up. I am very happy with these speeds.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lanwarrior:
Since ST now sell just the SIM card, which APN should be used:

1). The one posted by OP in 1st post

..... OR ....

2). The one that came with the SIM card?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PorscheGuy:
I've actually been having better luck with the 2 APN's in the 1st post than the single combined APN that came with the SIM. They both work and give me the same speeds, but it seems like the one in the 1st post connects faster. I also re-enabled Fast Dormancy and it really helped as well. Maybe AT&T is using it in my area now?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lanwarrior:
I just got my SIM card today, activated it and put it in my Note. Voice calls works well, but data is finiky:

I can see I am connected to data and the icon shows "H+" or "3G". However, when I browsed the Internet (web, going to Android Market, etc.), it works for a few minutes then stops.

Rebooted the phone, and same thing: works for a few minutes, then stop.

I use the 2 APN settings listed by OP and have NOT done anything on the fast dormancy.

Can anyone assist?

UPDATE

I DISABLED Fast Dormancy (by default it's on out-of-the-box) and it seems Internet working..so far..

HOWEVER

, my speed is dismal: 388 Kbps UP and 570 Kbps DOWN.. I am in Southern California.

---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

I did more substantial testing and below are the results.

NOTE: Test done in 2 different locations that are miles apart and tested by browsing, going to Android Market and using Speed Test app.

I. TEST 1

APN : 2 APN settings per the 1st post

Fast Dormancy: Enabled (was default out of the box)

Data Icon on phone: switching between 3G --> H --> H+ --> 3G

Result:

- Data connection only the first few minutes, and it stops, no more data. Reboot phone and same result

II. TEST 2

APN : 2 APN settings per the 1st post

Fast Dormancy: Disabled

Data Icon on phone: switching between 3G --> H --> H+ --> 3G

Result:

- Data connection works, but very flaky. One minute I have fast data, the 2nd I have no data, the 3rd I have data.

What else should I look into?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bhaffar:
Have you tried the APN settings that came with your Straight Talk SIM?

How long has it been since you activated the SIM? I think sometimes you have to wait up to 24 hours for data to be fully functional.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lanwarrior:
Just got the SIM today, so I'll wait for 24 hours.

I haven't use the APN settings that came with the card, since it seems to be more problematic, but I'll wait try that as a last resort tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
I have been using the APN from below the past couple days on ICS and do NOT have data dropping out on me anymore like before so try these

The only difference on ICS is APN type: default,supl,mms
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
Going on two days now and no data connect issues..speeds solid and haven't had to turn airplane mode on and off to get data back.

My only question is the MCC Value? I have MCC: 310 and MNC: 410. So should I change MCC to 410 and remove the value from MNC?

EDIT: Oh, and what did you do as far as your Fast Dormancy setting?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
MCC: 310 must be a default entry because I have it also..i only edited the lines about to match and left everything else the same. sorry i left that out.

edit...i cant access fast dormancy on CM9 so I have no idea on that.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PorscheGuy:
Sorry, but then what do you have in those 2 fields?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrDSL:
same as you posted...310 and 410

Is Sim Card in the Moto W418G same as the "AT&T Compatible Phone Sim Card" from ST??

Hello my fellow XDA-Developers,

Just have a quick question for anyone who can answer, I am coming from a Black Samsung Galaxy S2 [which I love] (on BS Sprint <--- who i HATE... no wait... who I DESPISE...) to my (sexy white) Unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note, that of which, arrives today! IM SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS!!! ;-)

My question is... is the Sim Card that comes with the Motorola W418G (www shopstraighttalk dot com/bpdirect/straighttalk/PhoneDetails.do?action=view&productVariantExtensionId=13092337) [which I had to purchase, because I really needed a phone at the moment) the same Sim Card as the "AT&T Compatible Phone Sim Card" that can be purchased separately online from StraightTalk for $14.99?? (www straighttalk dot com/ShopSims)

I would like to know this because I am planning on taking the sim that I activated with the $45 Unlimited plan yesterday, out of the Motorola W418G and putting it into the Galaxy Note that will arrive today... I am assuming/hoping that everything will function correctly (Voice, Text+MMS, & Data) once I update the APNs appropriately... This should be ok... right?? Or are they different Sim Cards??

Worst Case Senario... if they are different Sim Cards and I am forced to purchase one from StraightTalk separately... how would I go about putting my account onto that Sim Card and not the one that came with the Motorola W418G??

Thanks in advance for your help! :-)

Best Regards,

dbC4G

Quick question.Does anyone no if I should select Att compatible or Unlocked phone sim when ordering my straight talk sim on there website.I have a regular Att Galaxy Note but I unlocked it myself.Also can you buy these Sims at Walmart or any other store.Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] almostinsane:
Walmart sells the phones, not the sims.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] guitarplayerone:
edit: I got the call, but a couple of days later. Stay around 120mb/day

In case anyone is wondering, I used 400mb (by accident)+ 250 more mb over teh course of the last two days and have not gotten any voicemails or anything so far from them.

I purchased 3G watchdog pro when I first started using ST, but recently I have just been pushing to see how far I can go with data use.

Note however, that my total use per month is so far under 2gb so no real issue there. I've been on ST for three months now I guess. Usage has always been right around the 2gb mark.

It's only since I recently uploaded my library to google music that I have been using more... (note: I think it is by putting an artist to 'shuffle' and then clicking through songs "No I dont want to listen to this one... or this one... or this one..." that I got to 400mb in an hour or two. Listening to an album straight through, eg from track 1-5 over 20 minutes will usually not put me over 50-60mb

I have the feeling that you need to be somewhere upwards of 2gb AND use somewhere upwards of 200mb in a day to get flagged.

YMMV
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BBFreak:
Those setting seem to still work on Official ICS from what I can tell. I had to delete the APN settings and put them back in becausse it kept shifting from 3G to H to H+ and back but now it is more stable.

Can't receive Text and MMS on Galaxy note- HELP pls

Hello experts,

Just got my Galaxy note international version with Straight Talk at&t SIM.

Great speed and all but can't receive Text and MSS from nayone. I can receive regular text (no pic attached) from myself (i.e. testing to send to myself). Talked with support at ST, everything looks fine from their end.

APN is set as described on ST and here for at&t. It is like 8 hours trying everything I could find on web! Going crazy. Pls help.

Thanks a bunch.

Tried every APN configuration - still no data or mms

Was using Truphone sim when I first received my Intl GN and data/sms (didn't test mms) worked fine but slow. Read all the good reviews on ST sim and data speeds, so I ordered the ATT sim and installed it yesterday. First followed ST APN instructions and no data, no mms. Called ST and they suggested I reset phone to factory settings (mine has factory ICS load). Did that and still no data or mms. Found this thread and used the two APN settings so many have had luck with here. No data, no MMS. Factory reset again, formatted SD card, removed and reinstalled ST sim, removed and added 2 APNs from this link and still no data no mms. Can anyone think of some weird setting that may be causing me this issue? ST verified my APN settings and then told me it is a phone issue and I must contact Samsung for resolution. I've spent about 10 hours on this so far, and I haven't made any forward progress. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: Apparently it was a ST issue. Although the first customer service person didn't pick up on it, one I spoke to this morning did. Some setting on my SIM was wrong. He changed the setting, had me use the ST APN settings (not those from this thread), and I now get data and MMS. Thanks to the posters who helped me troubleshoot this! All's good again.
