[Q] need help getting GSM SIM to work - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

So I asked this in the hyperdrive thread, but wanted to start a separate one so as to not clutter that with something off topic.
I have a Verizon S4 and i do a lot of international travel with my job. Whenever we go, we get these old Samsung flip phones that I really hate using lol. They use an ATT GSM sim card, so we never have to change it no matter where we go. Just power it on and we get a carrier whether you are in London or some 3rd world country in Africa.
Someone in the Hyperdrive thread gave me these settings...

APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri,fota
APN Protocol: Leave it to the Default one
Bearer: leave it to the Default one
...but i still cannot connect. I also really only care about talk and text...no data needed. I have tried both the "Global" and the "GSM/UMTS" settings on both auto and manual. The furthest ive gotten was to a list that actually showed "AT&T" and "T Mobile". When trying to select either, it just searches and searches to no avail.
Im also wondering, if i can get it to work, would i have to be changing the settings constantly depending where i go and the carrier present, or will it work like the old samsungs we use now and just connect automatically?
Thanks for any help

Flying out to tomorrow. Hoping for a reply

[Q] X10a World Generic Says Roaming on AT&T?

Hi all,
I have a quick question. I flashed my AT&T X10a to world Generic. Im from Minnesota. When I travel to North Dakota and Nebraska my phone all ways has an R over the radio status bar. Now the problem is I know I'm not roaming because my brother has an X10a that is 1.6 and it never says its roaming. Then when I go to Settings/Wireless&Network/Mobile Network/Network Operators it says Im connected to AT&T with a bunch of numbers. At my house it doesnt have any problems. It says im on an Edge network. At my house it says im on ATT DR. Is there a way to fix this?

Hmm that is weird. I think you might want to get a new SIM card from AT&T. I've heard that it can do the trick sometimes.
Ok How do I order a new SIM card? I think I fried it a bit when I was using my prototype Vivaz Pro.

Just go to any AT&T store and get one. Or call them up and they will mail you one.

Who's rom are you using
To be clear. What types of networks are our rezounds capable of running on in North America.
Do we get full HSDPA+ on ATT or just Edge here.
Also, What about UTMS networks like TMobile. Can we have a guru chime in here?
there capable with frequency that have 1900/2100 since most gsm company in the u.s has 1900 frequency you can only get edge with it, but some people were able to get 3g like t-mobile and Att because of there 1900/2100 frequency they have.
please explain what is or are guru chime
on stock ics, can not even save a second apn. after pressing save there is no error, but the new apn is not listed.

I am rather intrigued by this subject, because I do sometimes travel to other countries. Not very often, less than once per year.
My wife has an iPhone 4s which is an official Verizon global phone. From the latest ruu leak, the rezound will soon be joining the list.
With a Verizon global phone, one can automatically roam on CDMA and GSM networks at a cost of $2 per minute or more depending on the country. This seems like a lot but I think one can call the USA without any long distance charges.
An alternative is to use a GSM ROM along with a SIMM from a cell company in that country. But, what will it cost to call the USA?
Another variable us the length of travel. My last trip abroad was just for a weekend. Arrived on Friday afternoon and flew home on Monday morning.
Perhaps a GSM ROM SIMM coupled with Skype or Google Voice is more economical?
Anyways, I probably think about this more than it is worth.
On the subject of APNs, I ran across a free app which can load any of 1100 APNs depending on ones location.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tweakkericsbeta
It does not seem to live up to its claims, because when I run it the only choice seems to be Verizon apn.
But it already has globe have you updated with the new ruu

For NET 10 using att phones this works best on ICS
hope there is no confusion. The internet does work with the listed apns before but internet becomes very sporatic and may have to be reset.
This also works very well for Redpocket as well just name apn to Redpocket and the mms proxy to rpmobileweb instead of tracfone.

The proxy setting only helps the MVNO, in this case NET10. They can and do use it to throttle certain types of data transfer. One specific type that I've experienced is that the android speedtest.net app will not function with this proxy setting in place. You can delete the proxy setting without ill effects on your cellular signal and, among other benefits, the speedtest.net app will once again work. YMMV.

Yes it is unlocked for GSM carriers. No unlocking process, no code, etc.
Can anyone get mms to work with these settings? I have Internet just fine but can't send mms or receive them
Also PTA doesn't work only phone
Has anyone gotten AT&T MMS to work? I can receive texts, I just can't receive any pics.
does that mean i can use it on other carriers without unlock the device? greatest thankness

I have someone working on an MMS app. Unfortunately they don't have much time these days. We always have MMS problems when flashing devices to Cricket. The app would work the same way as the one for the CDMA carriers.
I tested it with Solavei. It works, but the notifications with JB are off.
So you guys saying I can buy this phone from verizon then put my ATT sim in and everything will work, data ?

You should get talk, text, data (HSPA, I think there are some questions about HSPA+, and LTE is a different band so you won't get that).
You'll have to enter the AT&T APN. I can send with GOsms and the MMSC entered in those settings. Still can't receive. That's why I have a friend working on that.
I usually work on CDMA stuff and have a normal 9/5. That's why I've left the door kind of open here.
can't get ATT APN to work
I am having trouble setting up my DNA to work on ATT data network. I put the micro sim from my iphone 4s in the DNA, changed the APN following op's settings but could never get mobile data connected. Making phone call is fine. Did I do anything wrong? Any input appreciated.

I am able to receive mms with a Tmo sim. I have not changed any apn settings so no data yet.
I was able to just drop in a T-mo card and pick up data.. But as you'll know edge only. With brief moments of HSDPA when I'm assuming I was close enough to a tower that has been upgraded to the 1900 band. Well I decided to go to at&t and grab a sim to see if there was an improvement. I couldn't personally get any of the APN settings to work that were presented in the op and being that I'm new to anything gsm I've got no clue why: Lol.. Could it be a location thing? However I did find a setup that does indeed pickup data for me. Figured I'd share just in case there were others having the same issue. Keep in mind MMS is still hit and miss. I've had them go through out&in but it fails most of the time.

Oh btw... Source for the above apn settings... http://theunlockr.com/internet-mms-settings/
Since we all know there is an issue sending and receiving MMS, I do the bare minimum to get my AT&T SIM to work. I create a new APN and only change 3 lines.....
Under "Name" I put PTA
Under "APN" I put phone
Under "MMS Port" I put 8080 [more secure than port 80]
Leave everything else alone. Don't add your MMSC address, proxy or anything else.
Now save and you are good to go. I get HSDPA. Don't know if it's + or not, but I get the exact same speeds as I normally do with my AT&T phones.

I was able to just drop in a T-mo card and pick up data.. But as you'll know edge only. With brief moments of HSDPA when I'm assuming I was close enough to a tower that has been upgraded to the 1900 band. Well I decided to go to at&t and grab a sim to see if there was an improvement. I couldn't personally get any of the APN settings to work that were presented in the op and being that I'm new to anything gsm I've got no clue why: Lol.. Could it be a location thing? However I did find a setup that does indeed pickup data for me. Figured I'd share just in case there were others having the same issue. Keep in mind MMS is still hit and miss. I've had them go through out&in but it fails most of the time.

I personally tried exactly as you referenced... I got zilch! Lol.. my device would not grab data until I used the Cingular apn information. As far as the MMS you're exactly right. I tried numerous combination with no result. The few times it did go through seem to be a fluke. I just threw the Cingular apn settings up because I was able to grab data and hopefully it may help someone else that tried the simple apn settings to no avail... I'm going to order a Straight Talk sim this weekend and see how that goes as well. I've got a month prepaid for both T-Mobile and AT&T so I've got a little time to play around with everything.
Side note: man my family and friends thought I was a dork before now I've got a VZW Nex and GSM DNA that I'm carrying around all the time! Lol

I guess my friend is nowhere to be found for the MMS app.
Anyways I think it has something to deal with the APN whitelist in the build.prop. Notice they don't allow for the mms APN. Does someone want to play with that as I don't have another carrier's SIM right now.

I am willing to do whatever you need. I have the DNA Unlocked and Rooted on stock ROM. I have a valid AT&T and T-Mobile SIM card. However, I am coming from 5 years of iPhone hacking, so I would need to be handled with kid gloves.
Just let me know what you need done, or point me to a tutorial thread.

Helpfull APN info for people using Verizon S4's on AT&T

I have recently taken my Verizon Galaxy S4 and put it on the AT&T network (Prepaid $60 a month plan) and after hours of reading these forums and trying apn settings posted I found some information via Google that might prove useful to those of you that wish to do the same.
Before I start, I am getting HSPA+ speeds of around 12MBps, I have full working data, text, calls, and MMS. At the moment I haven't been able to get the tethering to work, wifi or otherwise.. says number not found. I assume that means its checking to see if its available for a plan that allows it via AT&T.
APN settings I used are as follows.
Name: ATT HSPA+
APN: phone
Proxy: <Leave in Blank>
Port: <Leave in Blank>
Username: <Leave in Blank>
Password: <Leave in Blank>
Server: <Leave in Blank>
MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net
MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: <Leave in Blank>
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri
APN Protocol: Leave it to the Default one
Bearer: leave it to the Default one
For those of you unfamiliar with how to change the APN settings: apn settings for Android - For Android, you should go to Settings > Wireless Connections > More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
Its fairly straight forward. Make sure that once your finished adding the apn info you hit your menu key and save, then back out and select the apn you want to use.

There are a couple video's on that site as well if you need a walk through.
I take no credit for the video's or the website, I am only relaying some useful information that I had trouble finding.
Hope this helps.
Curious if you have tried to tether and if it works? I was able to get T-Mobile prepay working on the S4. The only issue was that I couldn't get around the tether upsell page. I read everything. Thanks

No, I couldn't get the tethering to work.. I'm using all the stock stuff on my S4 at the moment but once I flash something I'll play with it some more.. But as it stands so far that is all I have found that doesn't work.

SIM or ROM problem

I am running a verizon I545 on the latest Hyperdrive ROM.
I am trying to get an AT&T global sim to work, which ive been told should work...but for text and talk only, no data. This is fine, text and talk is all i need.
The phone the sim came from works fine. They are old flip phones from our company and when we travel overseas we take them with us. I just hate trying to text on the damn thing with the DTMF keypad. With the sim in the work phone, im currently in Melbourne, Australia and picking up Vodafone. Texts and calls work fine. When i put the sim in my S4, the furthest i can get is to the Available Networks screen and it shows vodafone AU and Telstra Mobile.
Tapping either will either keep searching until it times out, or say that it is not registered and to try again later.
the APN settings im currently using are....
Name: ATT HSPA+

Contact whomever sold you the SIM and ask them for the APN. Many carriers use the AT&T network and affiliates but don't use AT&T APNs.
When I bought a global SIM, the carrier provided me their APN details. Even though it uses the AT&T network, it's not an AT&T APN.
Ya I tried all their settings to no avail. I ended up just breaking down and buying a local sim. Bummer not having a US number but using whatsapp for texting and it works out.
