my iphone 4s is unlocked and i just got a straight talk sim and put it in my phone and went to set up my mms and data settings, but they vanished? when i put in my old tmobile sim card they come back? anyone else have this problem/ had it and fixed it?
iPhone 4S, iOS 6
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!
The cellular data tab disappearing is normal. What are the exact settings you're entering?
the mms i use is mms2.tracfone.com:80
I got that from straight talk and is different then what they sent me or what is on many of the posts.
Hope that helps.
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.

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!
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.
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?
Boonsfarm do have a link for that. I am not seeing it on thier website.

Then you have to chose iPhone of course.
Looks like that's just for data. I'm curious how they'll handle MMS on the phones they sell tho.
Did you try the profile?
Neat. Was that on wifi with the unlockit profile removed?
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.
FreddieMac,
Yes, pic messages are still working. After I made my entries per boonsfarm's values, I hit the "settings" back arrow (top left) until I got to the "Airplane mode" screen, then turned airplane mode "on", counted to 20, turned it "off". Repeated that another time. Then I tried to send a picture message to a family member's phone. When that finally worked, I turned the phone off and back on, and then tried another picture message.
When that worked, I backed up the phone thru iTunes in case it ever dissappeared on me.
Straight talk SIM or iOS 6 problem?
