Help with Straight Talk Data and MMS APNs for Blu Vivo 4.3

A reader, Melissa, asks…

Bob, You seem to know more than the rest of the Internet.

I got a new Blu Vivo 4.3 unlocked with a Straight Talk ATT compatible sim. I don’t know any of the APN settings that I need…the default name is ATT, but I’m not sure even that is right. Can you help me out?


Hi Melissa,

I don’t have a Blu Vivo 4.3 phone myself but I do know the APN settings that Straight Talk uses. I am willing to try to help you. I can’t promise we will be able to get it to work. It also may require a little effort on your part. I set up this web page so we can keep track of the steps.

Leave a comment here if you would still like some help.

Regards
Bob
