I have a lg stylus that I took in to Metrics and had them unlock it so a friend could use it on straight talk. Put her sim card in. She can send/receive calls and texts but can't get in internet or use any other data. 4g doesn't show on status bar. What could be the issue?
 
Straight talk GSM runs on AT&T's network. You can't use Internet or send MMS messages until you delete MetroPCS APN settings from the phone and program ATT/Straight talk APN settings to the phone. Since it's a MetroPCS phone, their APN settings are going to stick there until you input new ones!
Straight Talk should have instructions listed on their web site under support/FAQ.
