I've spent 2 weeks spending every night either talking to AT&T, Straight Talk or Samsung trying to figure out how to get this dang phone to work. I finally got to talk to the right guy at AT&T. All is not solved. I did find out how to reset the phone. Here's the code: At the main screen, enter:

#7465625* (you will see these numbers but your not done) Continue to enter 638* (you won't see these numbers but the spaces will have an underline). Tap SEND. Then reboot your phone. This will release the settings from AT&T. That's only the beginning though... then call Straight Talk or your servicer. Right now I have more access than I had. I can connect to Facebook but cannot connect to Google and I can't get picture messages yet because I can't see where to put the port codes given to me by Straight Talk but I'm making progress. Tomorrow I'm back to call Straight Talk but at least AT&T has released the phone. When I have more... I will post.

UPDATE: YOU CANNOT HAVE PICTURE IMAGES AND INTERNET WITH STRAIGHT TALK. SAMSUNG CONFIRMED IT IS STRAIGHT TALKS CHIP THAT IS THE PROBLEM. I WENT WITH AT&T'S GO PHONE $50 PLAN AND HAVE ACCESS TO EVERYTHING THE PHONE WAS INTENDED TO.
