In order to setup Straight Talk internet connectivity on your iPhone you have to manually update the Access Point Names or APN settings. Straight Talk now has a server setup that can update the APN settings for an iPhone very easily. You can download the Carrier APN profile from this website. There are 3 different apn settings available to download. You will have to try each of them until you find one that works for you.
Are you looking for how to setup Straight Talk Internet Connectivity and MMS on an Android device?

Now to access the Straight Talk website for downloading the apn settings, you would require a WiFi connection to connect your iPhone to internet. Connect to the WiFi to and then continue.
How to setup Straight Talk Wireless Data or Internet Connection on iPhone?
- While on WiFi, open Safari and type in the url iapnupdateatt.straighttalk.com and tap Go.
- Safari closes and an Install Profile opens. Tap Install.
- You would get a popup to install a new profile. Tap Install Now (You might be asked to enter your pass code, sometimes.)
- Tap Done.
- At this point you can exit your browser, turn off WiFi, and re-boot your phone. Make sure you turned the power off, not just put it to sleep.
- Now after restarting the phone, tap Settings->WiFi->Off to turn off WiFi. Try opening any website from your Safari browser now to ensure your data connection is working.
If webpage loads, then congratulations, you have setup the data connection in your iPhone! However if this doesn’t work then try downloading other Carrier APN profiles from the Straight Talk web site. But you can only have one APN profile installed at a time, So each time you want to install a new profile, you need to remove the old one first. To remove the old settings follow these steps:
- Tap Settings -> General -> Profile
- Tap Remove. Tap Remove.
Now again, to install the other two carrier apn settings, use the below two url and follow the same steps as mentioned before.

How do I set apn settings droid moto x
DLo says
Still doesn’t work. How old is this article? Maybe these steps don’t work anymore because of the new phone updates? It says the expiration for this APN is July 2014. It is now December 2014, so maybe this does not work anymore? Anyone have any other suggestions on how to get internet on the ATT iphone 4 using Straighttalk? This has turned into a nightmare trying to get this phone to actually work completely :(
I cant get the MMS to work either. I don’t know what else to do.

Caitlyn J did u ever find out how to fix the problem? I’m having same trouble on my daughters Verizon iphone5c. Everything works just can’t get her internet to work.
brittney says
OK I downloaded the first one after 2 factory resets thanks to straight talk lol now everything works but my picture messaging. I can’t send or receive pictures. I’m afraid of touching anything because I had such a hard time setting this up to begin with ????
Suzan Lamberson says
when will straight talk have internet connection thru the home phone?
Leeza says
Thank you this worked. If your phine will not work in LTE but you turn it off and it works (although very very slow) this may be the fix for you. To check go to settings, cellular, cellular data options, turn of LTE. If you now have internet data but not with the LTE on this fix worked for me so i could use with LTE on.
