LT18 and VISIBLE SIM working..

Post by aspegicus »

I jut got a Visible SIM with their new Visible $30/month plan. I intend to switch from my expensive Verizon SIM plan to Visible for my router.
I just got a LT18 and I changed successfully his "personality" to match my phone. After activating the Visible SIM on the phone, I tried everything possible combination of settings (TTL/APN/etc) on the LT18 without luck : I'm getting RED LED for both the 4G and 4g signal on the LT18. However if I put my Verizon SIM, it works like a champ!!! :o

FYI I updated to latest firmware on LT18. Anyone can help make my LT18 recognize the VISIBLE SIM? Again it works perfect on my phone. Quite frustrating :roll:

Thanks!

Set the APN manually.

Make sure the SIM card is being read, IE it shows it trying to connect.

Make sure you are using the vzwinternet APN.

Already tried the vzwinternet APN. The LT18 says "SIM Ready" so it does recognize the SIM properly but both LED are red color (2nd and 4th LED on front panel).

What else should I look for? Anyone as a working LT18 on visible?

I ignore the LEDs and just watch the UI, tbh.

Show me your APN settings page.

Also, what version firmware is on the router?

Have you tried a factory reset then only setup the time zone and manual apn plus ipv6 settings on with ttl/hl at 64 or 65?

There are reports on /r/visible that the new Visible plans aren't playing well in routers. My classic visible plan works even without the personality transplant.

If I have an active sim card, will visible work with my Cudy LTE router? Are people changing the personality and TTL, and APN.
Anything else?

I've have mine successfully working for some time now. Manual APN VSBLINTERNET IPv4 117. Needs to be setup and activated in a phone first.

By the way, Cudy does have an article on getting their routers to work with Visible:

Visible (original), Visible $30 (new), or Visible+ (new)?

I just got the "ya gotta move to Visible+" email and don't know if it's worth even trying on the new SIM.

{edited to add the base $30 plan}

Update: I recently read a report of the new Visible (2023, running directly on Verizon's network without the Visible "cloud") was working in an LTE router. I tried it yesterday and it worked:

* personality transplant
* TTL
* left APN Profile on automatic, IPv4, 4G only
* pulled SIM from working phone and stuffed in Cudy
