Modem can't dial out

[jmorris]

Let's start with the simple stuff - how many bars do you have? Is your signal strong? Next, did you set data on and 4g in the network settings? You indicated you did. But it's always good to check. You did not specify OS, some of the OS require you to set that manually. Next, please load Mobian onto an SD card and try again with it. Mobian is the most complete OS so far. Let us know whether it works on Mobian.

I have to say, several people have reported having trouble wirh AT&T based services these days. One even said they refused to let him on the network claiming it was not an at&t approved device. So, if you have another service to compare with, that would be good.

Have the multidistribution in the SD slot, hadn't booted Mobian in a bit.  Good grief.  450+ updates later.......  No go, no better than PMOS.  So tried Plasma Neon.  Nope, same stuff.   How about UBPorts?  Looked like audio routing was broke but it took the number and started counting out a call duration so better.  Better still, it seems to have reprogrammed the modem because now PMOS is getting a 4G connection.  Before it only showed two bars of signal on 3G, now most places show three bars on 4G.  Calls still don't work any better though.

AT&T's logo might be the Death Star, and the rep well deserved, but H2O seems to be working.  SMS works both directions and inbound calls work.  Don't have data but I don't want it, if it accidentally gets turned on it would charge about $0.30/MB on this super basic paygo plan.  Think data has to be configured at some point anyway though, everything I have read says MMS requires it.

Spotted this in the logread output:

Wondering where this is supposed to be getting its input file from.
