Did the answer work for you? I have the same phone and the same issue. It only started acting up when I moved to Saint Paul, MN from IN though. My internet also does not work away from wifi. Did you have that problem too?

the C2004 variant has HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100. Straight Talk uses either TMo or ATT networks depending on what SIM you buy, so it should be compatible with either up to HSPA speeds. Please note that Straight Talk states you might have to change the phones APN settings for it to work properly with internet or MMS. I am using the phone with ATT and TMo and did not have to change the settings but have no experience with straight talk. The proper settings are available on their website.

I am using Lycamobile (which also uses T-mobile network) and I can do tethering. You will have to setup the APN setting first.

Had the same issue as Giovanna. Very frustrating, as you can receive them, but never read/download them. This applies to modern day group texts as well, which are done via MMS.

Hi, this seems to be a more related issue with your WFM (Walmart Family Mobile) service than something to do with the BLU device. I just did some Goggling and found the following results: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627013 , here they suggest to make sure your APN settings are correctly set up: mms apn -&gt; web.omwtoday.com mmsc -&gt; wirelessfour.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc proxy -&gt; 216.155.165.50:8080 Also: https://www.myfamilymobile.com/Support/DeviceSupport/DeviceSupport.aspx?supporttype=TROUBLESHOOT ; check your Limits and Controls. Hope this info. helps you to sort out your issue. Consider the BLU device as any Android device, when setting up parameters. One more thing, make sure you're enabling 3G data on the right SIM port on this device. And to be the main SIM to be used for calls and texting. You'll find this in Settings menu. Users interface varies depending if you have updated to latest Kit-Kat Android V 4.4 or you're still in original Android Version V 4.2, but both version are able to control this settings.

Yes, my daughter is on a t-mobile prepaid plan. The phone cannot send or receive pic messages.

Yes, Mine is an att and it gives me the option to change the apn settings just like an Android. I use mine on net10 withe the att mini sim. But if the Sims straight talk uses aren't feed from att towers make sure the phone comes unlocked.

That really sucks. This really looks like a fantastic piece of kit. Not having MMS is putting a serious dent in my desire for this device. =/

Ya I did, just pop the sim card in there's two slots I think u need the WCDMA one or something. And u need to choose the ATn settings to get mms (pic messages ) took me awhile to figure that out. They have a manual for it. Good luck!

The problem is the APN settings that you got from StraightTalk. Listen to Hulk's answer. He knows what he is talking about.

I actually have my STRAIGHT talk sim card in it, I just haven't set my APN yet, this phone has to have extra data so it you decide to get it make sure you get a small data card for storage space and downloads

Unfortunately, Your phone wont be able to work on any carriers but AT&T and T-mobile because they are the only 2 companies providing services for GSM phones aka unlocked phones. You cant update it to use on straight talk because it is not going to do any good either. I hope this helped ya.

STRAIGHT TALK - You know, a little bit unrelated, but I just got my Motorola Defy XT at Walmart, but I was told by the sales person that it ran on the AT&T; network but I just found out that it's actually a CDMA phone, probably on the crappy Sprint network, I get very weak signals where I live. I don't quite know what to do now... Return it to Walmart and lose half my 45 bucks in airtime credit I put in, or stick w/ it... I also was planning on installing a different SIM card from Straight Talk that I have, this one by AT&T;, can anyone give me advices? Thanks!

black ops 2 Rager is probably right. I'm using a Straight Talk SIM and everything works. However you may have to contact T-Mobile and ask how to setup the phone for use with the Internet. The phone should work with the TM network with no probs according to the product description. I think you may have to buy a SIM card from T-Mobile. You will not be able to re-use a SIM card that came with a T-Mobile phone.

The talk and text will work. Data (HSPA+) might work, but only in refarmed T-mobile areas. LTE are different bands and will not work.
