I made the switch to straight talk unlimited plan with my E5 today. So, I activated it and I can make calls and SMS... cannot access wifi, web browser nor MMS. After being on the fone with customer for about an hour I still have no data. They sent me these input values but, I don't know where to put them (and neither do they):
Please click here or visit www.straighttalk.com at any time to browse our website for information and instructions on how to get the most out of your Straight Talk. To complete your Activation, create a new APN with the following values:
APN Name: Straight Talk APN: att.mvno Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com Port: 80 MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33 MMS Port: 80
Delete the current APN from your phone. Reboot your phone.
I never had another APN on my fone because I had AT&T prepaid and it was all handled by the SIM card.
Please help
Solved! Go to Solution.

You need to create an access point for internet (and MMS). On the E5 these can be found (and created) in MENU>Ctrl. panel>Settings>Connection>Destination>(Internet/Mu

Yes, thank you. I tried the destinations and found that I could only enter 3 out of the 7 fields listed because my E5
does'nt show these fields so I cannot enter the MMSC, The MMS Proxy (that sounds important), Port #'s,...
So, you see... I don't know what else to do besides get back on the fone with ST and get dizzy'd by CS. Hope
someone here has the answer. I wonder if Nokia can help....![]()

You need to create two accesspoint, one in Internet and one in Multimedia msgs. Obviously you drop the MMS bits to find the correct fields.
Internet;
APN Name: Straight Talk
APN: att.mvno
Proxy: proxy.mvno.tracfone.com
Port: 80
MMS;
APN Name: Straight Talk MMS
APN: http://mmsc.cingular.com (could be you need to lose the http:// bit)
Proxy: 66.209.11.33
Port: 80

thanks, could u please scroll up on that nice picture so I can see what network type and the IP address should look
like? I hate to admit this but, Symbian OS was/is kinda difficult to learn so, if you guys could kinda "baby teach" me a
lil bit I know I will get it. I appreciate all of your help.

Sorry I am in UK and was just making a mock up for screenshot, but surely Username should be blank?

Have a look at this screenshot for Internet:
Have a look at this resource and amend accordingly:

For MMS try this:
Menu > Tools > Settings > Connection > Destinations

THANK YOU asperguy and Kosh SUCCESS!!! On wi-fi and ST internet....cannot get MMS going
.
Every time I attempt to send an MMS it tells me "No valid access point defined" . It then asks if I would like to
define it now... I say yes, it then tells me I don't have anything in there. Should I just delete the MMS access point and
re-enter it and try again?...
Well, I took my advice and it does'nt work.. "No Access Point Defined" is my fone's favorite message now
ha!

When you said "Success" presumably you have a Straight Talk network access point in Destinations > Internet which now functions?
You tried to create MMS access point which is set as Priority 1 in Destinations > Multimedia msg. folder and it is not recognised, is this correct?

I talked to Nokia yesterday and they had me do a reset. Does that mean my phone is locked again? My phone was unlocked when I bought it.
Once device is SIM unlocked it remains that way irrespective of whether device reset or software re-installed, so StraightTalk just trying to fob you off!
