Jan 4, 2013 8:49 PM in response to Cali1by kplaudate,I simply cannot get mms to work using this method. Data seems to be working ok. I can get the SIMs swapped quickly enough to get into "Cellular Data Network" with my Straight Talk SIM installed. Then, I toggle between "Notes" and "Cellular Data Network" until the defaults auto-fill.
I enter the settings as instructed here, and I've tried every variation of MMSC on here. But if I try to send myself a picture message, I just get "not delivered". Every single time.
If I back out of "Cellular Data Network" after entering the info, the "Cellular Data Network" option dissappears from menu -- is that normal? I have not toggled airplane mode yet... I was hoping to verify that MMS was working before doing that.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Jan 5, 2013 6:49 AM in response to mrooby Boonsfarm,I can verify the settings below work. I work also recommend removing the unlockit profile and resetting network settings before inserting the t-mobile sim. The Internet will work without it once the manual settings are in.

Jan 6, 2013 8:42 PM in response to Boonsfarmby kplaudate,Welp, I don't know what I did differently... but it looks like it "took" this time, after about 15-20 attempts. I think I toggled "airplane mode" twice, instead of just once. I may have moved my car keys to my left pocket also :-)
Boonsfarm, I used the settings you mention above. Thanks so much!

Jan 11, 2013 4:11 PM in response to kplaudateby FreddieMac502,Well kplaudate,
It's been a few days. Are your picture messages still working?
And could someone clarify the whole "Airplane Mode" meathod? I knowI am reallly close to making this thing work.
I am still having trouble with the Cellular Data Network menu disapperaing on me after I put the ST sim card back in. So I am open to anything.

Jan 11, 2013 5:46 PM in response to FreddieMac502by Boonsfarm,I know Straighttalk started selling iPhone 5s today, and I noticed that now when you go to APN settings on their sight it takes you straight to a profile to install. Has anyone tried this?

Jan 11, 2013 8:16 PM in response to FreddieMac502by Boonsfarm,Neat. Was that on wifi with the unlockit profile removed?

Jan 11, 2013 8:18 PM in response to Boonsfarmby FreddieMac502,On 4G with the unlockit removed. It's my daughters phone so it's not with me right now. But when I can, I will be taking another crack at it.
