Can't Make Calls After installing Custom ROM [SPH-L710] [Straight Talk]

A few months ago I tried flashing CM's 4.4.4 ROM, shortly there after I re-activated my Sprint phone on Straight Talk - could not get the phone to register on their network no matter what I tried.
Finally went back to a stock d2spr ROM and put in a ##nnn# code and it registered and I was able to make calls. Couldn't use the SD card for hardly any apps, it ran slow, and couldn't use the hotspot feature.

Brings me to now, I installed PAC-ROM LP MR1 and installed just fine, but again - can't make any calls. Network bars show a !
Every time I try to make a call it says the code I have dialed is invalid.
I have scoured the boards and cannot find anything that makes sense.
Can anyone give me an idea what I am doing wrong?

Straight Talk (Verizon Wireless) Service and Enable Mobile Data/MMS Solved

It's likely my luck that this may be posted somewhere within XDA but I wanted to let everybody know I found the fix for those of us who have Verizon Wireless HTC One M8 Android (and Windows) devices that there is a fix to enabling mobile data and MMS on their devices:

Name: Straight Talk - Verizon Internet (name whatever you want)
APN: ACCT.TF.GW6.VZWENTP
MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
MCC: 311
MNC: 480
APN Type: default,dun,stdhipri,supl
APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6
APN Roaming Protocol IPv4/IPv6
Bearer: LTE
Mobile Virtual Network operator type: none
Mobile Virtual Network operator value: Not set

The rest of the entries should be left blank/not set.

I don't take credit for this, I found this after spending four hours last night and early this morning chasing it. But I at least wanted to get the info out there; why, there's a world of difference between branded Verizon Wireless at for 6 GBs of data plus for the smart phone and a .50, .98 with fees and taxes for 5 GBs and speeds equally as fast on LTE. Enjoy!

Straight talk Verizon

What's up guys ?hopefully everyone is good!
Anyways I need some quick replies ... I am selling my Nexus 5 to a buddy of mine and he wants to run straight talk Verizon on it and I'm wondering if anyone is doing that and if it is any good .. I was gonna suggest he run the Att sim in it for straight talk but he needs the Verizon version to get service at his house.... Is anyone using the Verizon version sim for straight talk and if so can you lead me to some APN settings for that. ?... Please and thank you. Cheerz homies

Add Straight Talk (Verizon Wireless towers) APN to Verizon variant HTC One M8

I have a HTC One M8 (Android) rooted, S-Off, and currently running the ViperOne Rom. It is a Verizon Wireless variant M8; I want to run it on Straight Talk (Verizon Wireless towers)...not AT&T and/or T-Mobile. Okay...I go to Settings >> Mobile Data >> Network Settings >> CDMA Options >> Access point names >> and there are 9 different variations of Verizon mobile data APNs; the main one branded Verizon sim cards use is at the very top "Verizon Internet >> VZWINTERNET. Everybody I have talked to thus far says, I edit this setting to reflect Straight Talk but the only thing that is not grayed out is "VZWINTERNET" and I change that to "tfdata" (no quotes). Result: No data! So, I return to Network Settings >> (go to) Network Preference List where I'm greeted with 18 GSM/UMTS) names that include vodafone AL, ONEtouch, etc. I assume by looking at this list it is as what in parentheses implies; GSM/UMTS networks. I have gone to the upper right hand corner of the Network preference List and all it says is "Add" and "Edit", I click on "Add" and then I'm greeted with "Network Code" and "Operator List". When I went to the Network Code it asks for the MCCMNC format which for Straight Talk is 310410, click "OK" and I'm now greeted by "Add Network" and GSM, UMTS, GSM/UMTS, LTE, GSM/UMTS/LTE which the latter is what I set. I'm returned to the Network preference List and nothing has been added. When I return to "Add" or "Edit", Click on "Add" and then "Operator List"...oh dear God, the mother of all APN lists with multiple T-Mobile, AT&T, vodafone to select from but no Straight Talk nor Tracfone nor Net10...no American Movil. I'm guessing these are not CDMA but "Global" GSM providers. I'm at wits end with this. Frankly, I'm sick of the caveats that come with owning Verizon Wireless compatible devices. I just bought this HTC One M8 Android and again another aggravation to cope with; I can live without MMS, I can't live without mobile data. I was trying to save on our monthly bill with Straight Talk which we've used now for five years with the AT&T towers; where we've moved to, we barely have an AT& signal but we do have three to four bars over on Verizon Wireless but we did not want to have to pay the plus for smart phone access for comparable service which we pay .50....98 including taxes per line. I didn't expect this much aggravation with all of this. I'd sincerely appreciate whether this is common to this particular variant or would it help to flash ARHD43 or GPE onto the device or is this something that is hardware encoded or provisioned by whatever SIM card goes into the device; thanks everybody!
