Not connecting to cellular network

[car46999]

I went and bought a few other SIM cards tonight, tried the Mint mobile one first and it recognized the carrier, network type, and registered shortly after logging into the phone. 

So the issue is PureTalk. 

Does anyone know how to get this phone to register on PureTalk? I am not really wanting to change carriers at the moment.

Thanks.

I don't.

The carrier issues has been long in the tooth on this forum and others.  Here is Biktor's latest work on handling multiple carrier profiles: https://github.com/the-modem-distro/pine...1232456448

Puretalk is never even seen by the PP's modem?  One of the mmcli commands will list out all the results of a tower search: 

Code:

mmcli -m 1 --3gpp-scan

or similar

I also went through trying different carrier SIMs and flashing different OSes like you've done.  My takeaway was: if I lived in a major city (lots of towers), I'd probably have my pick of carriers to use with my PP.  My partner won't be moving anytime soon  so I went with another carrier that mostly works with local towers (USMobile).

Cool thanks for the suggestion, I'm not giving up. Just need a good time to dig into this, hopefully I will get it figured out and post back with the solution.
