Just wanted to document here how I got Xfinity Mobile working with OnePlus 8T (Unlocked). Putting the SIM card in had SMS and voice calls working but NO data whatsoever (this phone only supports 4G on Verizon/Xfinity Mobile network). Spoke to multiple reps on the phone and chat...no help.
Reading through other forums I decided to just go in and edit the APN (I could not add a new one) but setting it to COMCAST.RSLR.VZWENTP "magically" made it work with Xfinity Mobile.
Hey there! Came across your thread, considering switching to xfinity mobile.
What method did you use to change APN?
Did you change any other APN variables?

as far as i know, you can change apn in android carrier settings.
I noticed my mobile data was not working so thought I would check the APN settings.
The Comcast one no longer worked for me but changing to the Verizon (VZWINTERNET) one did. I'm not sure what, if anything, changed but just wanted to keep this page updated.
I missed some replies earlier but I didn't change anything else in the APN settings but the name.

I've checked the forums and while I see some mentions of ATT configs I don't see much for TMo.
I have a Lumia 710, and a tmobile version Straight Talk sim. I had the sim cut by TMO in order to fit the phone and calling and texts work well. However I can't enable the cellular data. I checked Straight Talks setup info and in Android it's as detailed, but in WP7 it's a lil different(I guess mms and APN are in diff pages).
I tried just setting APN to wap.tracfone and nada. Is there anyone else who is having or has had this issue to give some suggestion? Again, most of what I've found here and elsehwhere are all about using an ATT sim.
EDIT: Not sure if it's necessary to note, but I had to flash the 1600.3031.8773.12121 firmware from australia, no network there just says Australia 227.
EDIT: I also have the the Nokia Network Setup app due to this, but it gives me no options just auto does whatever and says "T-Mobile". The APN settings that have worked for me in the past is to set the APN and port alone, however the APN settings in WP7 want a proxy/url with a port. I've seen this mentioned in another post from April after some more googling, but o replies there also.
Hi all
As a T-mobile UK customer I have been finding that I lose internet on my phone every 6 or 7 days, typically lasting for about 6 hours.
During my last converstaion with support I mentioned that i had the following in the APN settings
[email protected]
They seem to think that it might be a Tmobile USA profile and hence the problem (how the wrong APN could work for 95% of the time is beyond me).
I did take the handset to the USA last year but did not have data roaming turned on. Does anyone know how i ended up with the wrong APN? A quick google search returns no results for the APN listed...
I have since manually changed the APN and things seem ok (for now).

Whoops.... I have just found out where the the APN settings came from.
In an attempt to get my MMS working I just ran the HTC Connection Manager. For the first time in 1.5 years my MMS is working but I have noticed that my new APN settings say [email protected]
So it seems that HTC use APNs that T-mobile UK are not familiar with? Annoyingly I have no way of viewing the new APN or editing it
Does anyone know which settings the HTC connection manager uses? I am concerned that although MMS is working, if my internet connection goes down again, the UK helpdesk might just shrug their shoulders and pass the buck to HTC, who in turn will pass it back
Ok so I spoke to HTC UK today, they told that they have no way of finding out what APN their app uses, they suggested that I use the generic T-mobile APN that they have on their system, which I did and the MMS stopped working again.... so I ran their app and alll is fine again (for now).
I guess that I will have to try to email HTC. It is rather annoying that MS decided that customers shouldn't be allowed to see existing APNs.
I do have a dev account, tbh I only subscribed so that I could get mango early, if that means that I can sideload something that will show me the APN in use then please feel free to point me in the right direction.
Cheers
I jumped on the $250 eBay deal for this phone. Today, after installing my tmobile SIM card I can talk and text fine but the mobile data is not functioning. I've gone into the "Data Manager" menu and turned on the "mobile data"...airplane function is off....performed a factory reboot, and still nothing. What am I missing? Do I need to do an APN configuration? Being an unlocked phone, I thought it was a matter of plug and play. Data works fine in my moto g. Please help. Thanks

Yes, get your apn settings from Tmobile and enter inSettings, Networks,mobile networks, access point names. Create a new APN for t-mobile...save....choose the new apn. .... see if it works
Yes, sounds like you'd have to enter APN values, especially if voice and text are working. Not all phones auto populate APN values.
Not sure if these APN values are correct but it's a starting point: http://apn-settings.com/t-mobile-apn-settings-step-by-step-configuration/ . This is T-mobile's site for generic data settings for non T-Mobile phones: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090
You guys were spot on...contacted tmobile and they had me up and running in less than 5 min with the proper APN config. Thanks for the help fellas.
Now if I could just get the latest software update without having to purchase the gophone SIM/plan...
Does Hotspot feature work for you?

Sorry to revive such an old post, but I am thinking of doing the same thing right now ($200 for a new unlocked AT&T Flex2), and wondered if your WIFI Hotspot function on the phone works with TMobile?
I've tried other AT&T unlocked phones on TM, and when I turn on the hotspot feature, I get a network error.
Thanks.
ps. Can you post the APN settings that TM gave you?
I got my ST SIM activated yesterday and LTE connected without having to make any APN changes.
I can receive incoming text messages. Incoming calls go straight to voicemail, and I receive a notification for them but cannot retrieve.
Outgoing calls /messages result in 'no mobile network' error, including dialpad codes.
Have had six different sessions with Straight Talk, whose solution, depending upon the CSR, has been to change the APN, restart phone/pull sim/battery, factory reset, wait for activation, etc.
At one point, Verizon Wireless briefly appeared as the carrier but LTE stopped working.
Any suggestions? I have done all of the above, along with installing several different ROMS, restoring earlier backups, etc.
I have searched and found a lot of posts regarding issues with data, but can't find anything relating to my particular issue.
I am currently on CM13 Nightlies. The phone is not under contract and I have used it with other BYOP carriers with no issues.
Thanks!

I was helping someone else out with that recently. I found that both on CM12 and CM13 it doesn't give you the option to change the APN settings.

I am actually able to change the APN settings by selecting the APN, editing it, and saving it from the menu pull-down. In a few of the ROMS I tried, I needed to put in the updated APN of TRACFONE.VZWENTP. (I laugh every time I type it.. VZ went P heh)
Anyway, in some ROMS it works with the assigned APN and in others I have to put in the updated one for LTE to work. The APN is for internet and MMS, both of which are working at the moment. I need to figure out how to get calls and outbound SMS working.

Yes, I just got the Straight Talk SIM and network code and activated it a few days ago. I looked for the apps but could only find one for account management and auto-APN settings.
I was using a prepaid T-Mobile sim in this phone prior, and had to use an older modem to get data (only got edge since it's GSM on a CDMA phone) working. I am currently installing a newer modem to see if that will help.

I installed a Teyes CC3 unit about a month ago. I have a Verizon unlimited data plan and hotspot so I was using this combination to receive WiFi. It was a bit inconsistent so I called Verizon and negotiated a good monthly rate for an added android tablet line. I picked up a sim card from Verizon and installed it in the sim card slot as shown in the Teyes direction or what appeared to be the sim slot. The unit indicates 2 sim slots but I could only locate one. The exposed sim slot was poorly installed and it was tricky to insert the sim card. I now wonder if the two sim slots are hidden behind the perimeter trim? After installing the sim card it did not show up on the sim card interface. I called Verizon to activate the sim card to confirm it was properly installed and the rep. stated that Verizon does NOT support the Teyes android unit! Question: 1. Could anyone confirm if they have been able to connect to Verizon with a Verizon sim card? 2. Is the sim slot(s) visible on the unit or are they buried behind the plastic trim piece. Thank you
Does it have an external sim reader.The joying I have has to have the card all the way to the right on the reader for the unit to pick up the card.I am also trying to get onto the Verizon network, but no dice. I had to trick the network into thinking my unit is a phone for them to give me service, that's as far as I got. Still playing with the APN settings, but nothing get.
Did you ever find an answer to this? I have a verizon sim card as well. Shows 4G but no actual data
Didn't pursue this further after Verizon stated they don't support the T'eyes unit. I just use Hotspot on my unlimited data Verizon plan. I downloaded a Hotspot Automatic app so with Hotspot activated my phone automatically connects to the T'eyes when I turn on the radio. Works fine.

What app did you use?
I don't think these support VZW radio bands.
Just set mine up with VZW, so I was wrong, it must have been my USMobile SIM that didn't support VZW network.

App is HotSpot Automatic by Christian Heinisch
See, I still want this to work without my phone hotspot because I'm not the only one who drives the car (and/or has an unlimited plan).
I have a spare Verizon sim for the summer that I'm parking (Visible, my kid is going away to camp) and I notice that when I put it in, I'm getting bars, and a 4G/lte icon. It is connected to the network, but I think the APN just won't populate and it won't let me set it manually.
If it didn't work, there wouldn't be bars I think. I mean, it's obviously registering itself on the network. I've used this sim in plenty of "unsupported" phones before, as long as it supports the right LTE bands, Verizon is basically a GSM carrier now. They will tell you otherwise, but even GSM unlocked phones seem to work in my experience as long as they are activated elsewhere first.
Got it working!
Please share exactly how you’ve accomplished or can you send me a dm? I have been at this for months, spending hours then giving up. Please! That’s awesome

By that I mean how did you identify what the APN settings would be? I can’t seem to find something that works.
Did you try to copy the settings from your phone?

Sorry, you can try googling the apn settings for your carrier, or maybe put it in an Android phone. Or contact your carrier and ask them. There isn't really a network-wide setting that we can give you. I can tell you what I used on my visible line, but it's different then page plus or Verizon post paid or any other Verizon line would be so I'm not sure how useful it would be unless you're also using Visible.
I was able to get internet working on my Teyes CC3 with the following settings, although I will mention that I had to use a 3rd party APN app to unlock the edit function as default it is locked through the android interface.
I spent 2 hours trying to use other recommended APN settings using mms.vtext.com etc and they never worked.
Any options not listed were left as blank, no set, etc.

It just opens the default android settings, but it does let me save what I change. The other app in the previous posted video did NOT work for me on my teyes cc3

Hate to dredge up this old chestnut, but did your settings stick? I added the APN, but it disappeared after a time. Any way to get it to stick?

Happy to help.
The settings did save. I rebooted the cc3 unit, and I had data and continue to have data. I did want to try editing the settings a bit, but I noticed when I opened the app and opened the APN settings, that they were blank, despite that my APN settings were still saved in and working in my unit. So yes the settings did stick, I continue to have data and it works perfectly fine, except if I open the app and try to view the settings they will display as blank as if they are not there, but my unit is working!
