Can't register on Verizon

Post by goatdad »

Hello,

Recently, I purchased a Cradlepoint MC400LP6 Integrated 4G LTE Modem (Multi-Carrier) along with a Cradlepoint router. When I tried to purchase a Verizon SIM for it, I get a message saying "Sorry, our network no longer supports this device." Any ideas on how to proceed? I thought this modem was supported on Verizon.

Thanks

Ahhh Verizon.

The MC400LP6 is a completely accepted modem for Verizon, since it has an official firmware for it. The same goes for its base modem, the Sierra MC7455. Verizon is just being a turd.

You could play with the IMEI, but I can't help with that. You had best own the devices of the IMEIs of anything you have on any network. Just my opinion, and maybe the FCC too. ;)

I've run that Cradlepoint on VZ. If you can buy / borrow a cheap VZ hotspot, then get a sim for it, and then sim swap to the Cradlepoint. It will work just fine.
