There's already a long discussion on this in the dev forum. I suggest it be continued there. The same ah ha! you just declared was made there and the results were inconsistent. People who changed to more expensive 4G plans still got lower speeds than people on bastard plans in the same locations. Anything having to do with 4G on AT&T is a big YMMV.

Hey, no need to apologize, I'm not the boss of anyone. What happens though as threads like this pop up is that people on bastard plans starting freaking out that they're missing something. Than after dozens of "yes it does, no it doesn't" posts people upgrade to more expensive plans and some don't see any difference. Why everyone's experiences are so different is beyond me. If I thought moving to a real 4G plan would get me consistently better results I'd do it in a heartbeat. But the risk of paying more for the same or less based on the experiences of others that went before me keeps me on my bastard plan.

[Q] ATT Blocking 3G Data Plan for Galaxy Tab 7.7

I just purchased a new Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Negri. I went to ATT to get a new DATA ONLY SIM card for the device but it will not work properly.
The device sees the DATA SIM and has 4 bars but I cannot get online.
If I put the DATA SIM into my old Galaxy Tab 7 it works just fine. I can also put my iPhone SIM into my 7.7 and it works fine.
I took the DATA SIM back to the ATT store and they told me that because it can be used as a phone the system is blocking it from using a 3G Data SIM. They also gave me a new DATA SIM just in case but that did not work.
Possible Solutions?
1. Is there something I can tell ATT to get the data only block removed.
2. Is there an alternate APN setting that I can use that will allow me to use 3G Data only.
3. Something else?

Have you tried using the above settings for MMS, and using the "Phone" APN for WAP yet?
Just set your APN to Phone, and leave everything else blank. Modify the second APN you listed to MMS only instead of Internet and MMS. See if that works.
You must have it named "Broadband". All the other settings seem right- that was my experience last weekend. Here are my settings:

Yep, you have to add the "Broadband" APN. That's what I'm using with the SIM from my AT&T Elevate hotspot.

This worked! Thank you! I spent the entire morning at the ATT store then the entire afternoon with Technical support. Nobody had a clue. Final verdict was that I HAD to get a Phone plan in order to get this to work.
How is your data speed with this APN? I am getting ping=100ms down=1.0-2mb up=100k-1mb. (same as my iPhone so that is a good sign)

Your speeds seem normal. I guess I hadn't read your OP properly to see that you were using a data-only SIM. In addition to the Broadband APN, isp.cingular also works.

Is there a difference between the two APNS? Any reason to use one over the other?

In most cases, the speeds are about the same. The isp.cingular is the legacy APN, so you may get higher ping times, but as more and more folks use the Broadband and Phone APN's, sometimes the old APN can be faster overall as it becomes less crowded. Either way, it's nice to have options at your disposal

I had the same experience-it was the 3rd technical support person I spoke to that finally got me up and running and it was that one word (broadband) that had been the issue.
Intl Version 7.7
Just want to chime in here. I have the 7.7... I purcahsed it online. Its the 3G version. Now all I did was take my SIM card out of my dumb phone (LG c500) and placed it in my Tab 7.7 and it worked for data and phone calls. I was able to keep it on with the $10 unlimitted data (for non smartphones) since AT&T system (at the time) saw it as an unsupported PHONE. Well after a few weeks I began getting text messages stating something regarding I need to purchae a data plan ... something to that effect, however the device still shows up as non-supported. so i put my sim back in my old LG c500 for a few days and then back into my 7.7 and I am good to go. Check out this story also

If you just get a non-smartphone and get a normal plan ........ add $15 for the non smartphone unlimitted data and you would be good to go. that's what I did and last month I was at 3.5GB of data and did not get throttled. The device will be an unrecognized device on at&t and you will only pay the $15 for data. Well worth getting the plan or just adding a line of service. Just don't tell them its a tablet. In fact you could just as easily pick up a go phone for $14 to $15 bucks and use the sim card.
thank you for this thread. spent a long time with AT&t and could not get this to work. I have a data only plan.
this worked great.

Nexus 4 AT&T MMS won't send and receive even with APN settings

Hello guys,
I tried multiple APN settings, and I can't get the pictures to send or receive them. Do I need to do anything with AT&T and call them? It's a post paid plan.
Here's what I tried:
APN Settings
Data on (it worked a bit), then stopped
Data off (I don't have a data plan, and I don't want one, any APN settings to prevent one being added?) doesn't work
Wifi-off, wifi-on, doesn't work
Am I missing something?
Like I said, I don't have a data plan, I can't affor the $360 a year for it either since I have a ton of wifi around me.
Thank you!

As in reset them to default? I did, I end up with three of them: ATT Phone, ATT Wap, and Tracfone. I tried both the ATT phone, ATT Wap, both with cellular data on and off.
The pictures won't sent.
With my ATT HTC Inspire, data off, and wifi on I could receive and send pictures.
I'm so lost and I can't really afford to get that data plan yet

Do I need data to be turned on to send MMS, as in from the phone? Because AT&T will charge me $2 per mb, so I keep it off. The inspire had cellular data turned off from the phone and worked fine with MMS.
Should I select one of the three default APN's? Or not select any???
I also came from an Inspire to the N4. You do realize that the Inspire was turning data on to send and receive MMS and then turning it off don't you? The data used was not charged to your allotment because it is included with the messaging plan. The N4 will do the same thing, but you don't have data available because you have no plan.

I didn't have a plan with the inspire too, just had it manually turned off from my phone.
Even if I turn the mobile data on manually, it won't send, that's the problem with this phone.
I was able to add a dumbphone unlimited data plan for $10 with att, can anything go wrong with this???

try these apn settings. once you have entered and saved them, apply them by tapping the radio button next to the apn name. and also make sure you delete all other apn's. reboot your phone and give mms a whirl. if for some reason it still isn't working, try changing mms port to 8080, reboot once more and try again.
i'm using these settings with at&t gophone on my n4, and although i do have a data plan, i don't see why they wouldn't work without one.

Tried both, neither worked. The weirdest part is if you send a picture, and it's in the "sending" stage, and reboot your phone, right when the phone turns on, it will send. Then after about a minute they won't send anymore. Same thing will happen if you hurry up and try to send a pic right when it reboots.

I loaded this apn. I have VoLTE enabled in call settings, but it still switches me to 3G for calls like it always has. I'm a very strong LTE signal area. Am I missing something?
That means that volte is not active in your area.

I'm in the middle of Chicago, so there's definitely VoLTE here.
I tried calling a friend's iPhone 6 which also has VoLTE and it didn't work.
edit: VoLTE is in chicago for sure. My line, however, is billing to an area that doesn't have VoLTE. Even though my phone has the Chicago area code, and is being used in Chicago, I can't get VoLTE from AT&T on it because it's not billing here. There's the problem.
So AT&T is only going to let you use VoLte in the city where were your billed? What if you're visiting a place that has VoLte? That's crazy.

no it works anywhere there's VoLTE, as long as your home billing address is one of those places.

I think they have to activate it on your account. And they do that by looking at the zip code on your bill to see if they have the service in your area. I'm assuming though. I am in St. Louis and my VOLTE is working great after this change.

Well I live in upstate new York, where there is no VoLte from tmobile and work in new York where there is. I would be pissed if they didn't activate it for me, why should certain ppl get a part is their service and others not? Why should it matter where you're billed?

that's pretty much what I've gathered by looking around with peoples' experiences.

T-Mobile APN

Please see the pictures. Shouldn't it say T-Mobile US LTE?
CHECK those slow data speeds! T-Mobile submitted a ticket but jeez this is terrible.
When I log onto my T-Mobile it says "unknown" device for my 6P. The rep gave me the whole not a T-Mobile device so speeds aren't blah. I said well it is unlocked device but has network coverage heck you partner with Google for Fi!
I receive MMS SMS etc fine just concerned about the data speeds!

I'm getting these exact same slow speeds! I thought I was the only one. I changed my APN protocol to IPV4/IPV6 added the MMSC address that's used for the Nexus 6 on T-Mobile's website but still not seeing changes.
I am getting the same slow speeds on my Nexus 6 purchased thru T-Mobile, so the fact that the phone is "not a T-Mobile phone" does not fly. As long as performance isn't affected, I do not care. Browsing, streaming music and videos are not affected by the readings from SpeedTest.
I have 6P with default APN settings. I get 50 to 30 MB/s down and 30 to 9 MB/s up.
First I would check data usage on My T-Mobile site. Then try forcing 3G (HSPA+) to see if speeds improve.
Could be an issue with the tower or you are getting throttled.
this is the one i use i have the default as well but i found when im in west texas this one seems to work a bit better:

^yep, I use that one at home and all over the country...
^^ That's the one I use as well. In fact on T-Mobile support site that is the recommended apn

Man, you saved me. I have tried all the different APN changes and other "fixes" around the internet and none were working. I even used T-Mobiles website APN and nothing. I am using Textra so it should work but I was getting nothing. Well...I was able to get mms messages but only if I turned off WiFi but I live being on WiFi all day so that was not an option. I then came across your post and change my APN to what you have and that fixed my issue, no need to turn WiFi off. Thanks!

I know this is an old thread, but this suggestion worked well for me since recently switching to T-Mobile.
The one issue I had when having "mms" in the APN Type field, I was not able to send MMS messages. Removing "mms" fixed the problem.
Nexus 6p and 5x apn for t-mobile/metropcs
Where it says apn type input this default,mms,supl,hipri,fota,ims,cbs. Worked for me im getting volte and wifi calling. Dont forget to also update your e911 address.

Straight Talk APN Issue for Windows 10

Hi y'all!
I have an HP Elitebook x360 1030 G2 that has a factory sim card slot. I've used my GSM Straight Talk (AT&T) card in it for about 3-4 years now without issue. It has recently quit working and thought it was because of the volte switch over so I ordered a new sim card and had my account transferred. However, Windows is not allowing me to modify the APN to match the Straight Talk instructions. For example, Windows does not have a field for MMSC, MMS Proxy, MMS Port, or MMS APN Type. Does anyone know what I'm supposed to put in the APN Settings on Windows to make this work?

I've been all over Google and I cannot find anything that has the new APN of "ereseller" instead of "tfdata" AND that talks about the settings for a PC and not for a Phone. If you've been able to find something via Google, I'm all ears because I came here for actual help. Appreciate you.
