Have you tried the same SIM in an Android or iOS device?  If so, was it
automatically provisioned?

Unfortunately, handling of MVNOs is tricky business.

The apn database does have a way of handling MVNOs, but utilizing this
support may require technical assistance from StraightTalk and/or the
carriers that they have agreements with.

Here's a quick re-cap of how things works...  When we initially
provision for GPRS/MMS, we call a plugin with the following pieces of
information:

- Mobile Country Code ( MCC )

- Mobile Network Code ( MNC )

- Service Provider Name ( SPN )

- Subscriber Identity ( IMSI )

- Group ID ( GID )

All of the above values are read from the SIM and passed into the
provisioning plugin.  The first two attributes ( MCC/MNC ) are used for
normal matching.   The latter three are matched against MVNO-specific
attributes in the apns-conf.xml file.  So if we could determine whether
or not Straightalk programs their SIMs with a valid SPN or GID, then we
could potentially create records for Straightalk.

That said...  Straightalk's own documentation is pretty clear that a
user needs to update their phones settings manually in order for GPRS to
work.  They also are pretty clear that MMS might now work even after
doing so...
