Google Voice and Play Services not working on mobile data (Straight Talk Verizon)



I have Straight Talk on an old Verizon phone, a Galaxy Nexus.

Google Play Services won't connect over mobile data, 3G CDMA or 4G LTE. Because of that my Google Voice app doesn't work when not connected to wifi. I rely on Google Voice, its the only number I use, I need it to send and receive SMS's.

I think the problem is with my Straight Talk service and probably not my phone or Google.

Everything was working fine. 3 days ago my mobile data stopped working. I did a nandroid backup, then factory reset my phone, the APN had changed. It had been TFTWO.GW9.VZENTP, it changed to TRACFONE.VZWENTP. Data was working again with the new APN, took me a day to realize I wasn't receiving my GV messages.

Found an app called PNF Root, it has a setting called "Play services monitor". Play Services connects when connected to wifi, constantly fails to connect on mobile data.
