I got a Skyrocket this morning, however I did not opt for a new sim because I am in a non-LTE area. But I later realized that although I can make calls, I cannot receive calls, texting does work but data does not and I have no MMS. I set up a new APN using the same settings I had used on my Infuse 4G and now everything works except for MMS. Although I changed the apn I was not able to delete the stock apn that didn't work. Any ideas?
Here are the apn settings I used: wap.cingular, username: [email protected], password: CINGULAR1, MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com, MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.32, APN type: internet + MMS.

Oh that is very cool to hear, I may end up having to do that. I kept my sim however because it is a microsim and I like to switch back and forth between my Androids and an iPhone using an adapter.

Oh my bad, I didn't see that you're in a non-LTE area. Did you try the "phone" APN used for HSPA+ connections?
Also, APN should not have any effect on your ability to make or receive calls

You're right, the inability to receive calls was just a fluke. "Phone" worked for data but not MMS.
These settings made everything work in case anyone else needs them:

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80

I guess this means that my data speeds are not going to be as high as they could be, but this does enable me to keep my microsim and switch back and forth with an iPhone.

I guess not, I will call now and see if I can get that switched over. I would have thought they would have done that back when I bought the Infuse 4G, but apparently although the signal said 4G, I wasn't getting the speed.
I didnt get a new sim and am on stock apn settings with no issues. I asked about a new sim and they had no idea what i was talking about.

It depends when you last had to get a new SIM. The SIMs for LTE are different than UMTS. The PTA APN works just fine on all networks (E, 3G, H+ and LTE).
Just got off the phone and was told that I can't change my 3G Unlimited plan to a 4G one without them sending me a 4G Sim and then activating it and that they don't have a 4G microsim. Maybe I can do this to switch the plan and then ask for them to send me another microsim.

wont work. there is a micro SIM for LTE (you can probably guess how I know that) but I am guessing the adapter will not pass LTE but since the iphone is not LTE that may not matter.
BTW, you will not loos your unlimited data. They just add it to a unlimited LTE data plan. You can confirm this after the change on myatt.

Sorry, I guess I'm being a little slow tonight, but I don't quite understand what you are saying. Let me rephrase my question.
When using the "phone" apn, MMS does not work for me. I would like to be able to use the "phone" apn to get HSPA+ speeds and have MMS working. Currently I am having to use the "wap.cingular" apn so that my MMS will work.
I am currently using a 1 year old microsim that came in the iPhone 4. I have the unlimited data for iPhone.
What data plan should I be on so that I can use the "phone" apn with working MMS?
Also, can this data plan work with a microsim so that I can have HSPA+ speeds when using my Galaxy but also have the ability to use the iPhone 4 on some days?
The reason the default settings don't work is because you NEED to have a LTE data plan on your account. Trust me I know what I am talking about ;-). Once you have that provisioned on your account the default APN settings will work just fine.

For phone APN, set it to Internet only.
Then, set up another APN with the wap.cingular APN and set that to MMS only

MicroSIM is only for iPhone 4/4s. Every other device uses a regular sized SIM. You'd have to keep going back and getting a new SIM everytime you'd like to use each phone.
I work for AT&T, I do it all the time, haha.
Couldn't you just trim a LTE sim card to the micro-sim size? xD

Just got my Nexus 5.
I took my ST SIM from my Nexus 4 and popped it into the new phone. Phone service works, no data service. I inputed my old N4 APN settings, and got data, but at the HSPA+ speeds. I tried setting the APN setting to " tfdata" as suggested elsewhere for LTE service, but lost all data.
Can someone please share their ATT ST APN settings? Or do I need a new SIM card?
Thanks.
From what I have heard... 2 possibilities. If you were using att.mvno, you need a new sim card. If you had a tfdata apn sim card, you can spend hours on the phone with straight talk tech support, and eventually you will find someone who knows how to enable lte on your tfdata sim, or you can order a new sim for $7 that will automatically be lte

I used the settings in the screen shots on pg 4,5 i believe... H+ and LTE work great.

Just to be sure you are saving the apn and then selecting it right?...? for LTE I had to reboot....otherwise H+ would only stay on.

Well, I went ahead and got a new SIM card from ST, and the settings now work perfectly.
My OP question was do I need a new SIM card. Yes I do.
Fixed itself!
Good day
I authorized a NEXUS 5 Sunday, ATT Micro Sim from Straight Talk
I used the APN settings from the website, last Sunday without any luck receiving MMS messages
I tried every setting on XDA I could find without any receive MMS success
I ordered a new Sim hoping to eliminate or correct my receive issuse, it will arrive tomorrow
Last night I received a confirmation from Straight Talk thanking me for my Auto Refill Signup
MMS receive started working right after that, go figure.:highfive:
Guess I didn't need a new Sim after all
I am on the Straight Talk APN Settings, nothing different.
I'd be interested in seeing all of your APNs along with all of their settings. Would you be willing to post screen shots of each APN or writing them down in a reply? I'm having issues with my SMS/MMS sending. SMS sometimes sends, and MMS doesn't seem to send at all. This is whether I'm on WiFi or LTE. Thanks!

Exactly what yours are, except no APN 3.
I found out the issue. I had installed AdBlocker Plus (ABP). This app apparently queries all internet requests through their own servers. They were blocking MMS. I happened upon a post on Reddit that had the same issue and that's how they solved it.

HOLY CRAP. THANK YOU FOR THIS. I was going nuts trying to figure this out.
On CyanogenMod I use the default. I had a S4 before I had my Nexus5 so I didn't touch my plan, just took my SIM out and threw it in the Nexus 5.
APN that works for me perfectly fine on LTE and HSPA+ and HSPA is same as "ATT Phone" listed above. Thats on a regular AT&T Family Plan.

I did the same thing, although I've been hearing that cell reception is better with the Nexus 5 than the S4, so I'm wondering if there's anything I need to do aside from just putting the different SIM card in my phone...it works well but I do get call drops I wasn't getting with the S4, it's acting up unlike the S4 - even though I hear it has far better reception.
Do I NEED to have them provision my phone?

No. You hear horror stories of when people call and try to provision the Nexus 5 with AT&T. The Nexus 5 isn't in this provisioning database, as it's a "unsupported" phone they don't tell (They won't touch anything with a unlockable bootloader). Because of this many times people get provisioned for a 3G phone as their generic phone provision doesn't support LTE or something along those lines.It all depends on who does the provisioning. Some people you talk to will set it up correctly, others will not. I've heard stories of people having to give them IMEI's of other supported LTE phones to regain LTE access after such issues.
If it works, don't touch it, and don't let AT&T know you have the Nexus 5 as long as you don't have to.
As for reception on AT&T. I really don't notice a difference between my S4 and the Nexus 5. A month before I got rid of my S4 I got a drop in service, as a LTE tower popped up in range, however I only get 1 bar of service from it, and both my S4 and Nexus 5 tries to connect to that, where as I have a full 4 or 5 bars service on a HSPA+ (3G) tower that is closer. I have to manually switch network mode to 3G only sometimes while home in order to guarantee I get calls.
To get adblockplus to work with AT&T MMS change the MMS port to 8080 from 80.

Hello my friend,
I'm grateful for your thorough reply. On my AT&T account online, it shows up as "no image" and I think on one page says Nexus 5. I never called anyone. I only popped in the SIM card.
Phenomenal insight regarding the low signal from the new LTE tower. Here is a question:
Is there an existing mod (or a best way to make a services mod) for a rooted Nexus 5 that will essentially switch down from LTE based on an algorithm determining signal db noise db etc. so that it kicks down when the signal is too low and does a query of the higher bands while kicked down at efficient intervals? I'm going to post this Q as it's own thread, actually. Been looking, can't find anything.
Again, much thanks for your thorough and very helpful response, WoodburyMan.
Cheers,
Justin

Haven't found anything like it yet. However it would be easy to set up. I forgot the app but there is some big app out there that can trigger events with certain conditions. Can't remember the name right now. Example: When see my home wifi connection, turn off bluetooth, and have it switch from LTE to 3G/2G mode. And when it detects say the WiFi at my work, switch from 3G/2G to LTE network type and such. That might be something worth looking into.
Well now. Seems I'm in that boat of trying to get Nexus 5 to work on AT&T.
Originally my Nexus 5 worked right out of the box with the "Phone" APN, which is a APN cable of being used on LTE networks.
This is because I originally had my phone Provisioned / Data Plan setup on a Galaxy S4 I bought from AT&T, and I simply swapped my SIM out to the Nexus.
Now, I just changed jobs, and one of the perks is job pays for my phone and data. (Woohoo!). They are also with AT&T, which makes things somewhat easier. However, now, when the account manager setup my phone, AT&T Business assumibly used the IMEI off my Nexus 5 to setup my phone and provision it on their system. Inadvertently it was set up with a Non-4G Provisioning, so that my phone would not be allowed on LTE networks. Likewise, the old "Phone" APN no longer works, and I have to use "ATT" "wap.cingular" APN to connect to get data on 3G.
I will be going to a AT&T store tonight to try and get this sorted out. Will post back with results. I believe all they need to do is reprovision my phone as LTE cable.
Went to local AT&T store. I was in and out in around 5 minutes.
Walking in, told them how I had working 4G LTE before, and I believe it was just provisioned correctly, and how I know it's a common problem with this phone as the Nexus 5 isn't in their system. They copied down my IMEI, shut my phone down, and reprovisioned my phone as a LTE capable device. Turned it back on, BAM LTE. ATT Phone APN did not work, the one I used before. However ATT LTE APN that uses pta in it's setting did work. Perfect! All set and done. Surprised as how easy it was.

On CyanogenMod I use the default. I had a S4 before I had my Nexus5 so I didn't touch my plan, just took my SIM out and threw it in the Nexus 5.
APN that works for me perfectly fine on LTE and HSPA+ and HSPA is same as "ATT Phone" listed above. Thats on a regular AT&T Family Plan.

I did the same thing, although I've been hearing that cell reception is better with the Nexus 5 than the S4, so I'm wondering if there's anything I need to do aside from just putting the different SIM card in my phone...it works well but I do get call drops I wasn't getting with the S4, it's acting up unlike the S4 - even though I hear it has far better reception.
Do I NEED to have them provision my phone?

Sorry to go off topic here, but I have an S4 right now and have been thinking about switching to a Nexus 5.
How do you guys like your Nexus compared to the S4? How does the battery life compare?
My two main fears is the camera quality and battery life will be worse on the Nexus.
Thank you so much for this! Followed your instructions and now I have my sprint phone unlocked and running on AT&T! No LTE but thats ok.:good:

I will never go back to Samsung. Their AOSP support is horrible, I can't stand TouchWiz, and the camera was horrible. I had a iPhone 4S, went to the Galaxy S4 and camera was horrible compared to my 4S. Went to the Nexus 5.. best phone camera I've had so far. Love the HDR+ feature in the camera. Battery life for me was the same. The removable battery on the S4 was nice, I'd just swap batteries out on the go. I got a ZeroLemon case for the Nexus5 though works good.

Read what I had to go through a post or two back. You can get LTE working it's just a matter of trying a different APN like the pta or phone APN's, or having them re-provision your phone properly. A good sales person or tech at a AT&T store can get you sorted out in a few minutes.
Following up these are the APN settings that work with LTE on a AT&T Business account. (ATT LTE, aka ATT PTA). Previousl "ATT Phone" APN worked for me on a personal AT&T account with LTE.

Hey all, Moto G US version owner here, and having trouble getting MMS working on at&t. I spent some time on the phone with them earlier and was more or less told that the phone wouldn't work right on network, or something to that effect. This was frustrating since everything else worked fine, and it is supposedly tailored for US networks after all. So I tried several different APN settings from online but to no avail. I even copied over the APN settings from my unlocked GS3 (which has no problems at all on at&t's network) and it still wouldn't work. I've contacted Moto's customer service as well and they've given me the number for Level 2 support, will be speaking to them soon.
I'm at a loss here.. yes, it is a new device and all, but is anybody else having this problem?
Try Handcent

I was able to sent text messages just fine, but not MMS photos. I installed Handcent and set the photo size to 100k and the messages went through. I'll be calling Tmobile tomorrow to make sure it's not a provisioning issue.
I'll update if a solution is found.

Would this help with receiving MMS messages though? I have issues sending and receiving them currently. Have not had an opportunity to speak with Motorola's level 2 support yet.

I'm on AT&T Gophone, not AT&T postpaid, so your experience may be different, but I've had no problem sending MMS to other phones (android + iphones) or receiving them.
The AT&T rep set up two APN that I can see, including them here for you to try out if you want:

FWIW I've also used this AT&T APN Suggested from ATT forum and it also works with MMS after a reboot.

Prepaid? Last I remember prepaid doesn't support 4G devices for data. And MMS uses data, not wifi. And while I'm aware the MotoG can use 3G(I have mine on Verizon)...AT&T tends to lock down their better phones to 4G only to get users on the contract.
I could be mistake and that phone is supported, but I don't believe they run 4G on prepaid/gophone and hence you might not be able to run data.
As of 2012 they had an inner memo to their call centers saying that 4G devices, Rimms, and iPhones wouldn't be supported for Data any further.
Having same problem as original post
I'm having the same problem as original post, except I'm using StraightTalk. My Moto G is the US version - GSM (uses AT&T network). I've set it up to use the APN that StraightTalk provided. Browser works OK, so I know data services are working, but I can't send or receive MMS messages. I've also tried Handcent that was mentioned in this thread, but it still doesn't seem to be sending. I've also tried the AT&T APN settings from this thread, but no go. Not sure what else to do...
I swapped from the D6616 Z3 to the D6603 Z3 because I didn't want to be locked into T-Mobile just incase my family and I end up swapping to AT&T early next year. The issue I'm running into is, I inserted the nano-sim and messaging/calls work on the D6603, but data didn't. I looked all over and did the following:
Settings->"more" (under the wireless/network) -> internet settings and connected to TMobile. The APN appears "T-Mobile Data" now. Internet connects, woohoo!
The issue I'm running into is, the LTE appears, and it is now connected to the internet, but it EXTREMELY slow. Speed test shows .15-.20 MBPS whereas before I was getting 8-9 in the exact same spot. I swapped the sim back to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I'm getting faster speeds on "HSPA".
Any ideas or a different way to connect the D6603 model to T-mobile's data?
What is the APN?
Should be fast.t-mobile. com

APN is fast.t-mobile.com; I believe the D6603 has bloatware for German(?) T-mobile. Could that be it?

I'm using the D6603 on AT&T, and LTE is quick. I think each of those phones have different bands. The D6616 is the T-Mobile model and the 6603 has AT&T bands. I think a lot of the LTE bands overlap though... Maybe LTE is slow in your area? Does your service show up as LTE at the top by the signal?
Also, go to your quick settings menu in the notification pulldown menu. There should be a box for "LTE". Tap and hold it and click on network settings. You can change the preferred network mode and see if the HSPA is faster

Try to set the "APN protocol:" to IPv4/ IPv6 instead of just IPv6. See if it will be any better.
Did what both of your advices. First, I switched it to HSPA, speed test hit 5-6mbps. Re-connected to LTE afterwards and it hit 10-12mbps. Loads webpages just fine, and was able to play games.
Then went and swapped the IPv6 to IPv4/6 and I clocked 16mbps twice.
Not sure what else happened or what caused it to work randomly after going from LTE->HSPA->LTE, but it worked.
Went and installed the nillkin screen protectors as well, and I must say, it is a great upgrade from my old samsung galaxy nexus. Thank you for the help guys!
