Modem can't dial out

[bcnaz]

I have several phones on the ATT PrePaid network,  they work great for talk & text,  NO APN is required for those operations.

  BUT, even with the paid data service they do not "ALLOW" me to access the internet.

I do "connect"  but I get an ATT gateway message stating that I do "not have a data account"..

ATT abuses the 'Covid Excuse' to give Crap help, after spending 3 days talking (and Holding) to their service reps and Techs
   They said in early March they were sending me a new sim card, but it would be delayed by the Covid, it is now mid November, still no sim card ! 

Meanwhile I do have other Pine phones using ATT Resellers (MVNO's) those do work and access the internet just fine. (TracFone and Pure Talk )


Note :  I am using Mobian and Arch operating systems on Brave Heart, Post Market, and Manjaro phones ... I do not have a UBPorts phone.

ADD-ON :
T-Mobile MVNO's (like Simple Mobile) do work, but where I live and where I visit most often their service is too weak to be dependable,
but if you live in an area they serve,  you could give them a try.
