It works for me on stock.

Works for me on any ROM that I use. Pretty sure it's because I had the $15 tethering plan though.

Yes. There is a $15 plan that they want you to add to use the service.

There is a method to get it working on stock, you just need to add a new APN
check the development section. there's a thread for it. I think the procedures is on top of page 4 (yes im lazy to link). But you would want to add the new apn after doing a factory reset.
quiksense, xboarder already including a working APN so it should work immediately
other roms, you should add the APN at the very beginning when flashing a new rom before turning on wifi tethering or calling.
people say it helps to delete the other APNs such as simple, tmobile us tmobile data... leave the tmobile mms of course.

Go back into the APN menu and select Tmobile Data one, then menu and delete.
This should keep the phone from switching back to that one.
Don't delete Tmobile MMS. Just the data.
Hope this helps.
Ok, so after all the ways to fo this, the easiest is clear out APN type and save. Don't worry about the circle for selection going away it's fine. I had 6 customer's come it since yesterday complaining about tethering not working, mytouch 4g, and sensation's and it seems there APN's have additional type's so i believe TMo is pushing new APN settings. Just my observation.

I'm tethering from a Senny right now. And tethered from a MT4G yesterday.
Haven't had any problems yet. But if I do I'll report back and update.
I recently bought an international unlocked S3 from Amazon and popped a Straight Talk micro sim into it. Unfortunately, I am only getting EDGE. I've tried all sorts of APN settings but to no avail. Is there a setting I'm missing or anything I can do to get 3G on this phone? Thanks.

Having the same problem
Hi, I'm having the same exact problem... if there's been a solution to this can you guys post it here?
For any others with this problem, make sure you have this setting selected: Mobile Networks-> Network Mode-> GSM/WCDMA (auto mode)
Silly me had GSM Only selected.

The modem is restricted so you can't change the bands. It's set to switch to the best signal.
The idea of using 2G to save battery consumption is a wives tale. There isn't any difference anymore.
I would hope that's the only reason to want to switch to 2G!
But yeah, with current technology 3G/4G is no longer a battery killer like it once was. Especially on our state of the art awesome Galaxy Notes!
I do not agree with this entirely, because at college I only get 2g all the time! ANd my battery never gets below 75% when I am home it bounces from 3g/4g and even sometimes to 2g I live in a weird area lol...And my battery gets down to 30-35% when I am home doing the same things.....
The modem in the phone is on or off, and it doesn't downshift if it has to run on a lower band. It's like a light bulb -- on or off.
Don't take my word for it, google the topic and you can read what the engineers say.
You can't do the same things with 2G and 4G networks (at least not without pulling your hair out).
I must disagree with you, 2G and 4G switch is available in international GNote. So there is a way to swtch it. And if i am in zone of low 3/4G signal zone, it always switch to 2-3-4 G, so it also make the battery drain faster. In HOX AT&T there is a command you can dial some code and get into menu for switching Bands. There should be somthing like this in Note also.
There is a dial code for this modem but it is a restricted menu. You can't make a selection on it.

To get the option, you would need Samsung modem software and be able to edit the file and unrestrict the band selector. That is something that has never been leaked, unfortunately.
ranger captain is right, so...
this is what I did:
root
flash T-Mobile modem

That's actually a solution for this OP who wants 2G on Straight Talk network. If he follows your instructions, because of the hardware, all he will be able to get is EDGE connection for data.

I am not on AT&T so how can I post them, a quick phone call or email to AT&T and you'd be set. It is not a matter of what type of phone APN settings are like DNS settings, all phones need them, just some have them built in but some don't.
Ok. Sorry about that. I finally got my 5.8 to work awhile ago.

You need to define the APN. It's strange your att SIM wasn't automatically recognized and the apn settings loaded. I have a 7 year old att SIM and when I put it in my Mega it automatically loaded the wap.cingular APN settings and I had to take no action on my part to enable 3G data.
I am on media net so your data plan maybe different than mine and that could be the difference on why the mega didn't auto define your APN settings.
Here's what I'm pulling down on media net HSPA.
Any one knows if rooting and flashing roms will mess the service on a AT&T Mega(SGH-I527) flashed on Straight Talk?. if not, what rom would be the best one?.
Thanks.
Hello!!!, anyone?????????
there are no roms on the at&t version yet
The phone is not flashed to straight talk, it is neither unlocked. Your phone is most likely an AT&T version and straight talk uses AT&T towers so the phone will automatically run their network, no flashing networks.
To answer your question rooting your phone will be like rooting a regular AT&T phone as you have nothing flashed on it.

correct.. and Straight Talk, Walmart Family, Net 10 etc sim cards....
so.. no flashing neccessary...
only different APN settings needed.
Hopefully your Mega will automatically find the correct APN settings of the particular sim card that you put in before boot up..
If it doesn't work for any particular sim, then you'll have to find the APN settings and create one that will work with any given sim
good luck.

It's really working.
don't go over your 2.5gb data cap.
I always thought I was invincible to the cap because I had a iPhone 4 and the speed always seemed the same. Well I got my galaxy mega on monday and by wednesday I was at 4.1gb. It was because I had downloaded Asphalt 8 and a few more games using the incredibly surprisingly fast straight talk 4g. Well then my internet completely disappeared. I know straight talk had nothing to do with this. But my apn settings deleted itself. I don't know why haha. But anyway I called straight talk saying I couldn't find the correct apn setting they helped me get the correct one and then I asked her if she thought if I used to much it would go over ( I didn't want to say I went over) She then said oh wail actually you already have seemed to exceed the cap. She said I should experience slower data. She then proceeded to tell me that once the 2.5 gb cap is passed that the internet slows down to 2g? I asked her if it was edge and she said no 2g.
I plan on switching to simple mobile within the next two days.
