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.

Finally had some more time to try a few more things.

running the command mmcli -m 1 --3gpp-scan --timeout=300
  • Most of the time the command errors out with "Couldn't scan networks: QMI protocol error (3): 'Internal"
  • Lists a list of carriers, none marked as "current", Puretalk is listed as either "lte, avilable" pr gsm avilable"
  • Lists a list of carriers, Puretalk marked "gsm, current" or "lte, current"

I ran the command mmcli -m 0 --command='AT+QMBNCFG="list"'
  • +QMBNCFG: "List",1,1,1,"VoLTE-ATT",0x0501033C,201909271

Stopped and restarted the eg25manager

Although it at times shows that Puretalk is current, it have not seen it show up as the current carrier in the GUI modem details.
And even when it does show that Puretalk is marked "gsm, current" or "lte, current", the next time I scan it will either present the error or just show avilable.

To me it really seems like it is a carrier issue, but I am not sure how to confirm this. And I suspect the carrier tech support for Puretalk will be of little help.

With a Mint mobile SIM inserted (connected to Tmobile, shows registered in GUI modem menu), mmcli -m 0 --command='AT+QMBNCFG="list"'
Couldn't scan networks in the modem: "unknown error" (is this because it is connected to a network?)


Any thoughts?
