Working modem?

[dcinoz]

You have to turn Mobile Data on via an on / toggle in the settings. Hopefully that works.

Of course I did that. No go.

Sorry, I should have read the thread....
Have you checked the settings work on an Android / Apple phone?

If you have the correct APN in Access Points and selected it with Mobile Data on, what do you get with:

Code:

ip a

and

Code:

ip r

?

Presume no wwan ip / route.

Maybe check your IMS / VoLTE settings, not sure if that could be an issue?

Code:

mmcli -m any --command='AT+QCFG="ims"'

If you have 1,0 as the response, try:

Code:

mmcli -m any --command='AT+QCFG="ims",0'

to turn it off (even though the 2nd 0 means your network hasn't enabled VoLTE). Not sure if that might help.

Silly question, perhaps, but do calls / text messages work? Perhaps your operator has a whitelist and Quectel is not allowed to connect / not allowed for data?

I presume if you're seeing 4G and signal bars that means you're connected and calls / SMS should work:

Code:

mmcli -m any --command='AT+QNWINFO'

You can confirm you're attached to the packet domain (gives a 1 even with mobile data off):

Code:

mmcli -m any --command='AT+CGATT?'

If data is on and you have an IP address it wil be shown via:

Code:

mmcli -m any --command='AT+CGPADDR=1'

but presumably you'd have that ip address and mobile data working.

Maybe try 2 or 3 or 4 but presume 1 would be the active one?

I seem to have read quite a few US operators have whitelists / had Pinephone working but no longer do. Maybe it's related to that.
Definitely confirm it's working on a non-Pinephone but I imagine you have already...

I'm just trying to help and hopefully some of the above commands can confirm things. It kinda sounds like the network doesn't accept the Quectel modem to be honest. Not sure if that means calls / SMS text messages would work but not mobile data? If non-VoLTE then calls would be in 3G/2G - is that what happens? My Pinephone is connected to 4G with mobile data off and switches to 3G as my MVNO does not support VoLTE yet. So your 4G with bars doesn't mean it'll work with data, all I'm saying.

Anyway, I still haven't figured out if there actually is an AT modem command to enable / disable mobile data as such. I'll try reading Quectel manual again tomorrow - not having the EG25G one might not help.

Let us know. Hope this helps a bit more this time. Nothing more frustrating than trying lots of things and not getting it to work.

Another thought as it seems Straight Talk works across several operator networks, perhaps you need to enable Data Roaming too?

Final one for me tonight, this displays the name of the registered network:

Code:

mmcli -m any --command='AT+QSPN'

Not sure what it gives if you're not registered.
