got a at&t Nokia lumia 520 for Christmas and one of the new at&t 4g sims card from straight talk to upgrade from my old iphone 3g and i cannot send or recieve mms ( picture messages) , regular cellaur service works for calls, i can send and receive regular text messages, internet data works fine. but when i try to send a picture ot someone it waits a few minutes then says unable to send message, and on receive i get the message about downloading the picture and when you click it it just refreshes the message and does not even try to download no matter how many times you click it. i have tried the generic Nokia setting on straight talks site and have tried the old settings also like the iPhone had but not of them work at all only the newest setting gets something to try and download but does nothing after that even when clicked.

the current apn settings are
mms
APN: tfdata
user name STRAIGHT_TALK
password
WAP gateway (URL): mms3.tracfone.com
WAP gateway port: 80
MMSC (URL): http://mms-tf.net/
MMSC port: 80

thanks for the help

I sure wish someone could help me out with the correct APN settings for the NOKIA 520 as well. I have had it a week and still not able to send or recieve pic messages. This is a bunch of crap.

I'm having the same problem as well with my Nokida 520. I used the settings on Straight Talk's website. The internet works fine i can receive short text messages fine, but when it comes to receiving MMS, I am only getting a message stating "Getting Media Content" (32kb) which when i attempt to retrieve the message it seems to time out and the time that it says I received the MMS is updated to when I attempted to retrieve it.

settings used:

Internet APN: tfdata

MMS APN: tfdata
WAP Gateway: mms3.tracfone.com
WAP port: 80
MMSC URL: http://mms-tf.net/
MMSC Port: 80
