Is iOS 8.0.2 compatible with an iPhone 5s using straight talk?

After downloading 8.0.2, I cannot get cellular data on my 5s with straight talk. They have given me a couple different apn downloads to use but they won't work. I even went to the Apple Store and they gave me a new phone.

I'm not surprised that the Genius Bar wasn't able to help with settings since it's not a carrier they carry but give this website a try: http://apn-settings.com/straight-talk-apn-settings-iphone-5/
