Hope it stays that way.

I feel your pain re: dealing with ST support. I've been very fortunate in that I've only had to contact them twice in 3 years. Good luck

see pics for mms. internet apn...apn-tfdata. ip type-ipv4v6. everything else blank

for some reason on my 1520 it does not give me an option for the ip type. it is in neither setting option. other than that i put the same thing and it still does not work fpr data.

 

[Alienhead95]

You would have to download the access point app for that.

 

[Andrew Curnutte]

ahh ok i fixed it though, in the data section i had put APN-tfdata, but all that is needed is tfdata.

Are you able to port over your att phone number to ST? Sorry I'm new to this. I read you don't have to unlock the ATT 1520 as long as you use the ATT ST sim? If using this sim, is number porting even a need? Any help would be appreciated

 

[CrockettGTO]

Anyone?

 

[Alienhead95]

If you want to port an at&t # to ST, yes, that is possible. The phone doesn't need to be unlocked to use on ST. when you say using 'this sim', which sim are you talking about at&t or ST?

 

[CrockettGTO]

I thought I read that there is a ST ATT sim and a T-Mobile one too. I mean the ATT one from ST when I say "this" sim. I am confused why I would even need a different sim than the ATT one I have now if ST offers an ATT one.

 

[Alienhead95]

You read it right, there is a ST at&t sim and a ST T-Mobile sim. You would port the number if and only if you want the same phone # on ST. At&t and ST are two different carriers, hence you need to buy the ST sim to use their service. Benefits of choosing ST at&t sim is, you get at&t service at ST rates and you don't have to unlock your at&t phone to use ST sim on it.

Just want to report that I successfully migrated from an unlocked 920 running ST to an ATT locked 1520. Was a little nervous but took the leap, took the micro SIM out of the 920 and cut it down to a nano. Put it in the 1520, was able to make and receive calls right away. However, in order to enable data and picture text, I had to change the APN to ST's.

I am not sure if anyone is following this thread anymore, but I switched to StraightTalk about a month ago, and have been experiencing huge delays in my google voice notifications as well (among other things). I've tried several different apps to get this resolved, but none have worked for me... so I decided to write my own. It was published to the google play store this morning (Android 2.3+ currently). If anyone sees this, please try it out, and let me know what you think.

Hope you can help with some info

Hey,
I am thinking of getting an unlocked Nokia Lumia 1520 so that I can (hopefully) drop on of Straight Talk's BYOP sim cards in it. I have found two that I like and was wondering if you knew of they would work, or if I should look else where. They are:
Amazon.com: Nokia Lumia 1520 White, Factory Unlocked: Cell Phones & Accessories

Amazon.com: Nokia Lumia 1520 Black Factory Unlocked RM-937 4G/LTE 800/900/1800/2100/2600 International version no warranty: Cell Phones & Accessories

They will work, but you won't get 4g/LTE speeds.
