I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 which I purchase May 30, 2013. I am going to Hong Kong and Thailand next month and would like to add a sim card that I will purchase in each of these countries, to get both talk and data. My phone is rooted already. I found a post online that mentioned somebody had been able to do this since Verizon Phones 4G phones are unlocked, but I never found anything definitive. I am not sure if this is correct but I am trying to confirm. I went into my phone and found where to actually manually enter an APN. Right now it is set to VZWINTERNET. Would I just replace this with the APN of the carrier I want to use?
Entering Access point name information manually: google "APN for thailand carrier" and then enter it.
Settings > Connections > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names
I have a VZ S4 and am visiting the other countries. I'm in Singapore now and will be heading to Vietnam and Thailand. So far I just bought a Sim prepaid card here and the sales rep activated in and inputted the APN info for me. Works like a charm. Phone and data. Too bad data is 3g as they don't offer 4g prepaid. I'll be doing the same in Vietnam and Thailand. Im with a group and we only bought 1 sim and uses my rooted S4 as a WiFi hotspot for everyone else to use

I found that once you get into the APN menu then you click the lower left corner of the S4 and then brings up the "Add new APN" option however it is grayed out. I assume you have to enter a new Sim, and then it will give the option to change this.

Once you put the international Sim into the phone it will not be gray. It will work, no issues. The sales Rep has the info to input for the carrier. But if you are Thailand, go with AIS

You'll have no worries getting the phone and data to work.
When are you leaving?
If I have $left on my prepaid I'll mail it to you so you can plug in when you land in Thailand and all you need to do is top up ( add $ to use)

Here is an interesting development... I flashed CyanogenMod 10 on my Sony Xperia arc S phone and the ROM downloaded some settings by itself. There are 3 APNs that comes with this ROM.
1. ATT
2. ATT LTE
3. StraightTalk ATT
StraightTalk was picked by default. I was about to delete them all and enter the settings from here but then I received a text message from a friend... Lo and behold, it was a MMS message with a pic attached and already downloaded. I saw that my WiFi was on, so I turned off the WiFi and asked my friend to send me more pics... They all arrived including a video snippet.... Then I sent one, a larger pic, and he received it. All amazed I fired up the CM10's browser and went to www.testmy.net Did a smarttest and my download was 3.4 Mbps and upload was 577 Kbps... In Phoenix, AZ...

That's the settings I use for straight talk, works great. I get 4g just about everywhere here in pa. Mms works great too. I've had straight talk for a year and a half on at&t. Can't complain. If you use alot of cell data they will throttle you slow, but I'm usually close to wifi. I've heard 2GB then they slow you down.

I'm getting 1.3Mbps down and 657 Kbps up. Pretty happy with it.
To the last poster, I thought Straight Talk didn't offer LTE coverage?! If it did, it'd be an even more amazing deal than I had thought it was!
My data works fine. Got like 6mbps this morn but my MMS wont send for ****. Using an Xperia Ion
Pantech Pocket ATT - Straight Talk MMS Settings
The Pantech Pocket needs to have the Straight Talk APN data loaded to TWO locations.
Both Phone APN and Wap APN need to be setup with the Straight Talk APN settings.
Straight Talk makes it sound like you only need to enter the information in one location.
You need to enter the information in Phone APN and Wap APN, if you want MMS to work!
APN name: Straight Talk
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: Straight Talk value
Port: 80
MMSC: Straight Talk value
MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS Port: 80
My Pantech Pocket is running flawlessly on Straight Talk now. MMS is 100% functional. The pictures are getting through. I'm getting 5Mbps download speed and 1Mbps upload speed.
My Pantech burst uses only one apn. On gingerbread and ice cream sandwich. I don't run proxy but the rest of the settings I put in and works good. Seems faster tried it. 40kbps proxy vs 4000kbps no proxy. Not sure why. Any ideas?

HOLY SH!T!!!
I just put in the settings Bushmaster78FS posted and I am now on TRUE 4G with ST. 6Mbps!!! ITS FASTER THAN MY WORKS WIFI BY 3X!!!
AMAZING!!! THANKS BUSHMASTER!
Nice
Thanks for the settings you posted Bushmaster.
The settings provided are the first ones I have used and successfully got both data and mms working with only one APN.
Using Samsung Galaxy S III.
1. My phone is unocked and compatible on both AT&T networks and T-Mobile right now i am using an blue AT&T sim and i am thinking to make the move to T-Mobile network. Do you think i can use the same AT&T compatible sim and just change the APN setting to T-Mobile and have it work on the T-Mobile network or so i have to buy a sim?
2. I heard that you can get a free sim by buying a free phone and just using it on your phone but other people say that those sims are lock to those phones. Which is true?
3. I see that Straight talk sells cheap GSM phones and my GF has her phone on T-Mobile so can i buy one of the ST phones and swap it to use on T-Mobile or are the locked and can they be unlocked?
I just switched from the default straight talk apn to the ones bushmaster posted. I went from 1 mbps to 4.8 on a Nexus 4.

anyone try these settings on S2 i9100 and see speed gains?
APN set, no data.
Hey gang, I've looked far-and-wide and haven't been able to locate a solution so, I throw myself on y'all's mercy and ask if anyone has a clue why I can't receive wireless data on my SGT AT&T GT-P1000.
I received my AT&T Straight Talk SIM the other day and porting the phone over was no issue. However, when I set up the APN I did not immediately reboot the phone due to some confusion about when the service actually transferred. Could this have affected my registration on the ST wireless network?
I've entered the APN settings precisely but, alas, still cannot connect to the wireless data. I really want to move over to ST, not only will it save me $30 a month whilst adding an "unlimited" data plan but, best of all, I'll get to tell AT&T to go pound sand.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
did you add in the " http://"?
Does anybody now any way to unthrotte. Since we all now that ST throttle after 5gb. I called to ST customers service, they told me that unlimited data is only for navigation.

So I got my XZU on Friday. Bought a Petro Canada Mobility sim, cut and inserted it, and I am able to call and text without problems. Issues arise when I want to use mobile data. I filled out the APN info as the Petro Canada site said (located here at 5.f) and that didn't work. I googled around and tried various other ones, which also didn't work.
I called Petro Canada, I called Sony, and they each say to call the other and that everything is working with their respective equipment.
I don't know what else to do, I don't know if I'm missing something in my settings, and I hope you guys can help.
The 2 settings configurations I tried/keep trying are:
(1)
APN: goam.com
Proxy: 10.128.1.69
Port: 80
Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
(everything else not set/default)
(2)
APN: goam.com

Username: wapuser1
Password: wap
MMSC: http://mms.gprs.rogers.com
MMS proxy: 10.128.1.69
MMS port: 80(everything else not set/default)
I should also note that I have tried the option to "Download settings for Internet and MMS" (it prompts me to select Fido or Rogers, and I choose Rogers because Petro Canada uses their network), and if while it's downloading, I go to the APN page, I see the APN it is attempting to download, and it matched settings (1) I listed above, only named SONY GPRS. It then fails to download and leaves me with nothing.
Thanks for the help.

Just to be sure, since Petro Canada is using another network: you have got Data Roaming enabled in the settings?
I'm using a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) myself, and when I disable Data Roaming, I can't get a mobile internet connection either. But then again, if that were the issue, the phone should give you a notification.
I remember having internet connection problems with my previous phone, and I solved them by simply leaving the proxy settings blank (server address and port number). Maybe you could give that a try?

I was gonna mention that about proxies also, it's unusual for an operator to use a proxy locally isn't it? Definitely worth a go to leave it out.

My HTC One that is being used with MetroPCS' BYOD plan is only getting EDGE, and not 3g, 4g, or even LTE. The phone was being used with Verizon Wireless before I got it. Everything works fine, but my data speed is super slow (EDGE 0.01 download and 0.01 upload). When I check the APN settings, it still says Verizon Wireless Internet. The people at my local MetroPCS store were no help since they don't know anything about APN settings. Thanks.

Well I'm all honesty, I think you should have just bought the tmobile version because that is the one that comes unlocked. As for your signal problem, have you tried asking tmobile on how to do it? Or maybe you can look up YouTube videos on how to do so

I heard that verizon g3 does work on tmobile and it works for everyone. AM not sure if i missed out on some steps.
It works. If it doesn't work the only thing I would say is to check if the imei is clean and not reported blacklisted.
If that's good, then toggle the gsm setting from utms/gsm/lte to global and see of that helps

I have an version lg g3 on tmobile from Verizon. You are missing the apn settings you need to manually enter possibly?
swap down from the top of the screen and hold the data circle icon - this will bring you to mobile networks. Select Access point names.

Apn Protocol: ipv6
Apn roaming protocol: ipv4
Save.
Also in system select, I use LTE/GSM/UMTS mode.
Global mode works, but i cant send text messages through native app. So i use lte/gsm/umts mode so i can send texts.
I also downloaded the T-mobile visual voice app for visual voicemail
I have an unlocked US Cellular S6 Edge model G925R4. I have rooted it and currently running stock ROM (Settings image attached).
I am using TMobile SIM on it and I am getting cellular network and am able to make calls. However I am having serious issues with Mobile data.
Mobile data did not work by default, I installed APN changer app and added the following settings for Tmobile:
Name: T-MOBILE
APN: fast.tmobile.com
Proxy: <Leave in Blank>
Port: <Leave in Blank>
Username: <Leave in Blank>
Password: <Leave in Blank>
Server: <Leave in Blank>
MMSC: hxxp://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS proxy: <Leave in Blank>
MMS port: <Leave in Blank>
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: <Leave in Blank>
APN type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: Leave it to the Default one
Once I do this i see data network sparsely, most of the times it does not work. Multiple reboots did not make any difference.
To change the APN I am using "Change APN" app. I see the T-Mobile entries I have made on it sometimes but sometimes i do not (screenshot attached).
I saw on a similar post about correcting the permissions of few files in system/csc/ folder - namely customer.xml and features.xml. After doing this I saw the APN settings after reboot.
But they are gone after the next reboot. So I am not sure if the permission change made much difference.
I really like the phone but at this point it is unusable because of loss of Mobile data. Is there any way to improve the situation ? Be it a different kernel, ROM, modem or anything.
Also I have tried an AT&T sim on it with appropriate APN entries and mobile data did not work for it as well. So its not a problem pertaining to Tmobile network coverage.
Id love to hear suggestions from the community as I really would like to use this phone going forward.
I have the same phone. I was using it on cricket at first and now I am using it on T-mobile. The apn should stick even though it shows the unable to view access point name settings. Access is restricted.
The only problem I have is when it connects to 4glte it has no bars and I cannot send texts messages. If you go into the service mode just set it for gsm/wcdma
Here's screenshot of mine on tmobile
*also I think you are using a different kernel
Can you list the kernel you are using? I'm not sure of that might be the problem.

Get it from this link. Make sure it's the version 9000 from 12.06.15

Thanks for the link, I flashed the kernel from the link and when i added the APN i could see both network and data working fine. Network bars were almost full, but sadly after a reboot i again see no network and loss of data connectivity. I am able to make calls though.
At this point all I have done is changed the APN (tried both epc and fast). Apart from that I havent tried anything else. Just bugs me to think that everything worked perfectly which indicates that there is no issue with the phone/kernel/ROM. But again at the end its not working .. any suggestions ?
For me I would have to go into the service menu because 4g lte would not work. So I would set it to GSM/wcdma and that's what worked for me. Internet was a little slower though
But after today
I honestly just got fed up with it and went and traded it in for the t mobile version. It's a hassle because 4g lte wasn't working and sometimes mms messages would not properly go thru.
When I was using it on cricket it worked better than t-mobile though.

I am leaning towards letting go of this phone as its too much hassle at the moment. Thing is I bought it off Ebay and at this point I am not really sure if the problem is with the phone or just the fact that I am using Tmobile SIM on a US Cellular phone. If I end up selling it I dont want someone else to suffer the same way.
Will a Tmobile specific variant be fine or will that cause similar issues ? I really like the phone but the mobile data part is really putting me off.
I too also got it off eBay the US cellular edition g925r4 and was in the same situation. I got mine for 400. But t mobile took it as a trade in for $140. A loss on my end but right now the s6 edge is $100 off so it was $579.99 minus the trade in credit I received. Also you get a year free of Netflix so that's not too bad...
The t mobile version I bought at the store works perfect mms, texting, WiFi calling it updated twice already so no issues here. Works perfect on 4g lte too
Hmm maybe I'll try swappa once before going with t-mobile. I don't want to get into contracts.
