[Q] Which APN to use? Pay Per Use Issue???? - AT&T HTC One (M7)

I just got the HTC One AT&T version a couple days ago. It was stock for about 30minutes, then I unlocked and put CM10.1 on it.
My question is this. I checked my data usage and it's showing I'm using PAY PER USE DATA!
I have DataPro 5GB for Smartphone 4G LTE plan.
Which APN am I suppose to use? My phone has a bunch of them automatically.
ATT LTE is the default with the apn: pta
I'm seeing people here are saying to use the apn: phone (named ATT Phone on my phone).
Here's a screenshot of my data usage:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is it charging me $0.00 per KB then?
Why isn't it showing under the 5120MB section that I will be paying monthly?
When I click View Details it shows this:
It shows the phone was using apn PHONE for 39 minutes, then I think after I put CM10.1 on it, it uses the APN PTA.
I added it up and it is about 33megs.
So is AT&T charging me for these?
Any insights before I call them up?
So which APN should I be using?
Thanks!

Just got off the phone with AT&T, the CSR and his Manager couldn't figure it out so they're putting a case for it to have higher people to look into it.

[Q] Using thunderbolt on another network besides verizon??

I just got a thunderbolt from a mate of mine who came from US
i wanna ask is it possible for me to use the phone in my country which has only cdma 3G network?
I need some help in this matter as im facing alot of issues here
A) i was succesfully able to make and recieve calls, send sms's (but not recieve any sms weird??) but i am not able to activate mobile internet?
B) when i power on the device at the main unlock screen i recieve a msg stating "SIM CARD NOT RECOGNIZED" y is that so?
im pretty sure it has nothing to do with the phone being locked or un-lockd as my friend said to me that its unlockd.
Am i suppose to take it to my service provider and ask them to do some modem modification in order to get the 3G working?
would really aprreciate if anyone could help me with this.
cheers

At&t employees. Help?

Hello. I have recently discovered that I am using a lot of data. (More than I used to) I have the 3gb tiered plan and my sister (who has an iPhone) is on a grandfathered unlimited plan. My question is, can I switch these plans for free? Here is our data use...

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I can switch them I can clear up 32gb of music and just stream away. Also I don't need to worry about connecting to wifi in restaurants, etc.

Sorry bud i work there only way would be to switch phone numbers.
sent from the phone Jesus would have used.
Correct. Swapping phone numbers is the only way around it.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
yeah even a transfer of service into another persons name cannot keep unlimited data, and if someone says you can if the unl data is removed u have a change of ur sister completely loosing it. so yeah only way is to switch numbers.

[FIXED] T-Mobile My Account App on WiFi

Has anyone else encountered a problem using the T-Mobile My Account app while connected to Wi-Fi? If I go into the app and tap on "Account Info", this is the screen I get. Any thoughts?

yep i get that too, turning off my wifi and exclusively using data connection works
I fixed it. Go into Settings - More Networks - Access Point Names. Create a new one called "T-Mobile", then use all the same settings as the default APN (the one called T-Mobile US LTE) , except change APN Protocol from "IPV6" to "IPV4/IPV6". Save it, then select it as the active APN, and reboot. At that point, My Account will work over wifi.

That fixed worked for me, thanks!
Also, just as a point of interest, I called T-Mobile about this yesterday, and they are aware of the limitation. They claim that it's deliberate, because "connecting from their network is more secure" or something like that. They said that they're working on a new version of the app which will allow connectivity over wifi, too, but this works for me

APN Settings, preferred network type & CDMA subscription - pics provided

My service went out last night and in true moronic form I went and messed with settings I'm unfamiliar with - turns out the Verizon network was down and now I'm not sure how they're SUPPOSED to be set...
The settings are as follows:
1) APN Settings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Preferred Network Type:
3) CDMA Subscription:
Info about my phone:
Unlocked, rooted, ROMed (GPE 4.4.4), Verizon GS4.
Can anyone tell me what these should be set to? I've done some searching and it's pretty inconclusive.

They look fine except I'm unsure of the 'subscription' setting in the last pic. If you have issues then try toggling it to NV and do a reboot or toggle airplane mode to see if it helps.
Missed your reply the other day, the problem I've recently started experiencing is that until I reboot once or twice I cannot hear callers and they cannot hear anything at all (both inbound and outbound calls.) I'm not sure if it's related to this or not. I've found a few threads where people are having similar issues and factory resets don't seem to do it. Neither do any of the other suggestions presented in said threads.

Hangouts: MMS fails to download (T-Mobile USA)

Over the years on various devices and versions of Android and with various SMS apps, I have on rare occasions run into an issue where I cannot retrieve an MMS message from my carrier, which has almost always been T-Mobile USA.
The current example shows up like this in Hangouts:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Says "New MMS message to download: size is xxxxKB, expires on mm/dd, hh:mm. Message not downloaded. Tap to retry"
And when I try to "tap to retry", it claims to be downloading but always reverts to the above state:
Says "Downloading" for a short time
Definitely seems to happen when I had a weak signal at the point when I first received the MMS.
Any idea how to fix this? If I switch to a different default SMS app, will that app be aware of this un-downloaded MMS and give me an opportunity to download it, or will it be lost? Is this a carrier issue or a device issue? My device is rooted. Many people have posted all over the place about this issue but the answers are widely varied so there seems to be no clear solution. I have not messed with my APN settings. Most MMS are received without issue.
Note: Nexus 6P running 6.0.1 stock (rooted) with Hangouts 8.0.116581895
