Verizon lumia 822 with straight talk

[xirsteon]

Well, someone got the 822 working on StraightTalk, which means it is not locked to Verizon. So it will work with TMO, but be aware that you won't get LTE on it. Hmmm.... Or maybe you will? Thinking about this now, since TMO is not an MVNO, I think it might be possible that it could work. Hmmm.....

What I really wish, though, is that there would be some way of making the 920 work on VZW. Without the CDMA radio, though.... I do have to wonder, though, since LTE uses a SIM, and the 920 has a SIM slot, I wonder if it would work on Verizon if you put your Verizon LTE SIM into it. For sure wouldn't work in areas that didn't have LTE, but this is an interesting question......

I have a feeling it'll work. I read on another tread that someone couldn't get mms or something similar to send out but txt/mms/calls/3g works on Tmob. Lots of these on craigslist for around $200-300. My other concern is future updates (would vz sit on them for donkey years) and also possibility that the updates might break something such as mms/txt/3g/ re-lock and etc. Regarding the LTE, First the L920 would have to be unlocked and most like i won't recommend the ATT-stealership ones. The Rogers one (unlocked) perhaps. It helps to know someone who has the L920 unlocked who can try this out.

T-Mobile doesn't have LTE yet (they're working on it), but they do have HSPA+ which is still pretty fast.

Hi,
Can either of you confirm if the 822 uses micro sim?
Thanks

 

[lucas.scott]

I can confirm that the 822 works with VZW ATT and TMO micro sims. Have tested today at work.

Can u check if Internet sharing works on this while u r using it on tmobile usa? If u get any errors, can u try the access point trick from Nokia collection? Thanks

What are your APN settings for Internet and MMS. Are you using T Mobile Sim?

Hi I was just wondering if you had any issues of not being able to receive mms on your Lumia 822 using straight talk? Everything works great on mine, but for some reason I cannot receive mms, but I am able to send. Let me know, thanks

I have this exact issue...alls fine except cant receive MMS....Anyone know why this is?

 

[thejaredhuang]

Internet sharing won't work on AT&T unless you have a plan that allows tethering. IIRC this is true for all WP8 phones, its probably a concession MSFT had to make to the carriers. I have MMS errors but I think the accesspoint application will help.

Zim I have gone through the same thing you are. I have researched tried every setting imagineable, had straight talk work many times on a solution only to say it must be the phone. As you stated everything works but incoming MMS. Sure wish someone could address this isuue.

I have downloaded the app to change my apn and proxys. I have entered the strait talk info. I have internet, income and outgoing calls, incoming and outgoing texts, outgoing MMS, but no incoming MMS. I have talked to ST to verify everything is turned on. They even had me change some settings, them I lost the outgoing MMS. Can anybody PLEASE HELP ME?

Just to chime in, I'm having the exact same issue with my 920 on Straight Talk. I'm about to just switch to the ATT LTE GoPhone plan, since you won't have to worry about these APN issues (plus LTE and internet access right when you pop in the SIM, good for the backup and restore option that doesn't work with Straight Talk).

I am buying a Nokia Lumia 822 and I was wondering where you got your sim card for it. I have looked online and cannot find one.

Does everyone have MMS? My dad can't receive picture messages.... If it's not possible - no biggie. But it is, I'd really like to get the setting fixed right on his phone.

I have the Verizon Lumia 822, I received my SIM card from Straight Talk yesterday. It works great except for one issue. I can't send or receive picture text messages. Can you help me with this? I can't seem to figure it out.

Thank you,

What app do you have to download?

 

[palandri]

MMS is locked to Verizon. You won't be able to get MMS to work.

MMS is locked to Verizon. You won't be able to get MMS to work.

even after GDR2? I see now they allow you edit MMS APN.

Maybe it will work now. I don't have a Verizon phone or account.
