How To: Straight Talk and Android - SIM Swap from Nokia Smartphone

**tinasdude** · 10-07-2011, 10:10 PM

Why would they want to get rid of us as long as we respect data use. More and more people coming to straight talk. If they are reasonable in data usage, straight talk making there money. Thats what matters to them. More people coming to straight talk to use a high end smart phone but RESPECTING data usage is the key. Be smart and everybody is happy!!!!

Thanks Renegade. Used the 1 apn number for my inspire, and everything seems to be working fine. World of difference from the E71, and a bigger learning curve with my first droid

Ok i have a sister who has ST nokia e71 but lives 4 states away. She is not tech savy. I want to send her a captivate to us on ST. Can i set this all up with her gmail account and input all settings using my ST sim? Then pull it out and mail phone to her? If she pops her sim in will it work ok? Thanks for your help.

Yes. You can skip the gmail setup on the Captivate and have her do it later. Just enter the APN info while you have your SIM in it and select the new APN. The settings will stay.

Has anyone had a problem with their data on a ATT android phone running E71 sim? The last 2 days I haven't had data on my phone. Any ideas out there?

Nope. I assume you have checked the APN? Make sure data wasn't disabled and maybe re-create the APN.

Does data work when you put the SIM back in the E71?

Have you tried using your phone in other locations (1+ mile away)? Its possible the tower closest to you is having issues.

Ok data on the E71 was working when I swapped back over. I cleared all the APN out and reinstalled them and still nothing. This has me puzzled.

On the reboot after putting in the new APN I have data for about 30sec then it cuts out again. might just have to factory reset phone

I am thinking of getting the at&t g60 nuvifone to use with straight talk and I want to know if changing the apn will not be an issue for web and mms . Thank you.

Ok, I have read and searched and didn't see much about this... I am now using an Iphone 3gs with my straight talk, wonderful except It's operating on 4.3.5 so it can't be untethered unlocked (at least not easily from what I have read) so I am not getting MMS and also I hate Itunes lol So I am about to buy a Galaxy S for $200. The woman I am getting it from said that it is unlocked. I am not sure if that means factory unlocked or someone unlocked it? With the Iphone if it is unlocked you can just pop in the SIM and no worries, is it the same for Android? Or is there a difference between if it is bought unlocked or jailbroken? Thank you

This is all completely new to me...

I had my 3GS on 4.3.5 before I upgraded to 5.0. It was untethered using Redsn0w. Let me know if you need help and I will help you.
