Thank you! Are you on AT&T towers?
I've been with Sprint for 12+ years and I'm switching thanks to the Nexus 5.
I ordered the free T Mobile sim and plan to give it a shot for atleast a month. I probably won't use the entire 100 minutes or 5g of 4g.
If I'm not happy, I'll give Straight Talk a shot. Options are very nice right now.
Which begs the question, anyone in and around Denver and the burbs have experience with T Mobile or Straight Talk?
My wife is still on Sprint until next summer, but I'll happily pay the ETF once I figure out which service works best for us.
I've tried to set up my AT&T ST sim using these settings and its not working for me... help??
Working here just fine.Here are my settings
FIELD SETTINGS
NAME straight talk
APN tfdata
MMSC: http://mms-tf.net
MMS PROXY 66.209.11.33
MMS PORT 80
Auth type PAP
APN Type default,supl,mms
ok, first time using ST and first time having to manually mess with APN settings. N5 and ATT ST sim.
These are my full settings currently (I have tried a few now, including those listed in this thread)
Name: STRAIGHT_TALK
APN: tfdata
Proxy: not set
Port: not set
Username: not set
Password: not set
Server: not set
MMSC:
MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication Type: PAP
APN Type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: IPv4
APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4
APN enabled
Bearer: unspecified
MVNO type: none
MVNO value: not set
Whenever I set these, I delete the old APN settings and power cycle and still no data (calls and text work). I appreciate any help
I just activated with ST on the N5 and I'm fully working. I compared my settings to yours and here is what I have different:
Authentication type: Not set (you have PAP)
APN Type: Not set (you have default,supl,mms
Those are the only differences I saw between what I have and what you have above. Let us know if this helps. I'd power cycle the phone after you make any changes, just to be safe.

Thanks. I removed the auth type and APN type (I didn't have them originally but was tinkering and added those). It still wasn't working. However, I got through to ST live chat and they fixed something on their end and I'm in business now! Thanks anyway for the help. Came from a DX2 and 3G to N5 on LTE. Wow!
Can you post a link to that specific sim card/plan? I was looking everywhere on the T-mo website for the $30/mo 100minutes, unlimited text, & 5g of 4g but it kept only showing me the $50, $60, and $70/mo options that come with more minutes and less data. And also, would you be getting 4G with the T-mo prepaid sim? I would love to pay $30/mo for what I actually use, instead of $45 even though ST is unlimited.
Please & thank you!!!
It's only on their prepaid site to which they removed links to from their website. If you google T-Mobile prepaid plans, it should last it somewhere in the middle of the page.
Okay ty, I found it. So I iust order a SIM and then select the plan when I recieve and activate it?

Can you share a little more on the eBay multiple month ST cards? Trying to find 6 & 12 month options.
It sounds very encouraging and almost too good to be true for ST with LTE now!
But over at ST forum, I saw some guys complaining on spotty, unstable data connection compared to ATT, Tmo. How's the reliability of data connection on ST?
