    How are your 3G speeds?

    Hi I bought an iphone 4s and it has ios 5.1.1 on it. I was able to load the apn settings through the apple configuration utility. However when I couldn't get MMS to work (whilst everything else worked perfectly) I found this thread and decided to try it. Now what I did was take out my straighttalk sim card and put in a t-mobile sim card. I went into the network settings (now available as they were hidden when the straighttalk sim card was in) and changed the settings.

    Then I took out the t-mobile sim card and popped the straighttalk one back in. I waited on that screen until at the top it recognized my straighttalk sim card. I went back one page and the network settings were once again hidden. Then I clicked the home button and restarted my phone.

    HOWEVER, the mms is still not working!!!!! Is there something I did wrong or does this fix no longer work on the current ios???? Please let me know!!!!!

    To be honest I have no idea. I know it still works on the latest iOS firmware and iPhone 4s, but I personally don't use the device, and haven't had to do anything to it in a few months, so I have no idea/forgotten how to get MMS to work any other way. Sorry. :-/

    But, I'm sure someone else here is capable of helping.

    I ve got my ST sim on the way now. Has anyone found out how to safely tether? I don t plan on tethering much. Is it safe to tether to iPad as oppose to a laptop? Which app do you recommend?

    I heard the above method is for the iPhone 4s only. Is this true? Also it says tethering is definitely not allowed.

    As the thread states, it's not just for the 4S. Also, members have reported that they're tethering on Straight Talk's sim safely!

    I just wanted to confirm because I have read the above method on several forums, but many stated in order for me to getting mms I would need to JB my phone since its not a 4S. I know the forum says both but was under the impression it's strictly for the 4s. As for tethering, I really have no need to tether, but I know several people who tethered for approximately two months and suddenly their service was termed due to violation of their TOS

    You would need to JB it whether or not it's a 4S in order to get MMS working.
