Straight Talk on an iPhone
20/2/2012 – Update: I have added the proxy information into the profile as for some people (I have no idea why) the proxy for data was needed. If you have tried in the past using the profile and it has not worked download the new profile and try again.
Since Straight Talk started to sell just SIMS I’ve had lots of email on how to get them working on the iPhone so here goes.
If you don’t want to jailbreak and get Data going (Works any Any iPhone) just:
- Place the Straight Talk Sim into the iPhone
- Connect to the internet via wireless on the iPhone
- Go to http://www.unlockit.co.nz (on the iPhone) and Choose United States, Straight Talk and install the Profile
- Cellular Data Works
If you want MMS to work as well and not jailbreak the iPhone then you can use the “SIM” Swap method but this only seems to work on the iPhone 4S. People with 3GS/3G/4 have reported it doesn’t work at all.
To do this you will need a T-Mobile sim .It doesn’t need to be activated and can be easily acquired from many places around the USA (I have been told)
- Go to Settings->General->Network
- Place T-Mobile SIM into iPhone
- A New Menu will come up (Cellular Data Settings)
- Go into this Menu and make sure the Details are are as below (Don’t exit)
- SIM Swap back to the Straight talk SIM Card
- Exit Cellular Data Settings Menu (Click Network up the top)
- The Cellular Data Settings Menu will Disappear now.
- MMS Works
If you want to Enable MMS (and you have a jailbroken iPhone ) then install Tetherme from Cydia and you can go into the Settings->General->Network->Cellular Data Settings Menu and Edit them as below
Settings

Update: MMS Proxy Fixed … I had the name not the IP Address for the MMS Proxy . people have said the Name not work and the IP Address works.. but I’ll leave it as the IP Address..
Note: If anyone wants to update this please let me know) – I am not in the USA but talking to many people this is how you do it 
I can not for the life of me figure out if my phone is jail broken or how to change the apn settings my phone doesn’t give me an option in my settings for network. I go General>cellular and it don’t give me an option for Network.. I have switched carriers already and am on Straight Talk any advise would help please
Does anyone know whether this unlock setting will be lost once I update 4s iphone jailbreak from 5.1.1 to 6.1. I’m aware that some folks choose to preserve their baseband before they update.
Unlockit.co.nz does not jailbreak or carrier unlock iPhones at all. It sets Carrier APN Settings.
Go to http://www.unlockit.co.nz from your iPhone to set the APN Settings for Straighttalk
No Internet on my phone
This works great Thanks man
The APN changer doesn’t give you data on an unlocked, unjailbroken iPhone 3GS while running iOS 6.1. I tried it about 15 times, shut the wi-fi off, left only the cellular data on, doesn’t work. I’ve tried rebooting it. None of this works.
Apn changer not showing straighttalk
Its under United States.. Straighttalk
If you have installed the Straighttalk profile.. contact straighttalk to check your account
Make sure you are connected via Wifi and go to http://www.unlockit.co.nz
my phone can’t connect to internet. it says Could not activate cellular data network you are not subscribed to a cellular data service. No apn no nothing can’t even get wifi to connect
i need to go to http://www.unlockit.co.nz but can’t. Can I do it via usb
So I have straighttalk. had a crappy phone when i first got my service. i bought an Iphone 4s and wanted to transfer my service to that. the first phone had no sim so i bought one from straightalk. Upon recieving it i had someone factory unlock it (it was an AT&T contract phone). The data never worked although the text and call features work just fine. the original APN was att.mvno. after speaking to straightalk tech support 3 times and having it changed to wap.tracfone it still wont work and they directed to apple tech support who proceeded to tell me that i need to purchase a $100 piece of software to fix my issue. using the APN changer i have used, AT&T, Straightalk, and tracfone and none work. at the top of the screen it say Tmobile. I am lost.
Make sure your Iphone is connected via Wifi to the internet and you should be able to go to it.
Trying to get my iphone 4s set up so I can send & receive pics. I need to download TetherMe from Cydia so I can change my APN settings but I don’t want to pay $4.99 for TetherMe… Any way to get around this or is there another option I can use to change APN settings? Thank you!
