When you put your sim in the phone and it asks you if you want it to load the settings, do it. After they install, your phone will work but not fully. Mms wont function correct, nor will gps or your internet. Heres what you need to add to optimize your phone.
(I'm putting in at&t specs but change per your carrier)
settings/advanced settings/connection/connections/ click manage existing connections,
go to the bottom of screen and click edit, bottom again and click next, bottom again and click next, heres the edit needed...

Click finish and you now are set up.
To optimize further, call your carrier and ask for tech. (level 2 tech is needed for this on at&t) have tech "force" the imei in the system. Trust me, highest tech can do this. Once its in, your phone will now communicate with your system optimally. You should notice faster download speeds, I know i did. (I used to be top tier tech at at&t so i know a few tricks)
Hope this helps a few people out. Any further questions feel free to msg me...
