Wireless Joint

Hi everyone! I am a total noob at all this stuff and I’m having an issue. I’m still learning terms and language related to this. So if I get flamed or called out I understand.
So about a year ago I got my hands on a we826 t2 put a sim in it and used it without a problem. Then the teens in my house started to take the sim and put it in their phones to text and prank call their friends and so on. Not long after that the service was shut down. So I was thinking no big deal I’ll get another sim and start a new. Fallowing the instructions I got from here and YouTube I I me a new im# and put the sim in. Everything is connecting up and looks to be running fine. I can send text while logged in the router and receive and read the replies as well. But every time I try to connect to the web it redirects me saying something along the lines of “ you are trying to use data but have none” not a direct quote. Anyhow I’m happy to do the work and search but I’m not sure what to search for as everything seems to be operational just no web. Ime#good, APN =BROADBAND ,TTL=65 everything else is stock cause I did a reset in hopes that would solve my issue. It did not.
So did I get flagged and blocked? Or do I just cut my losses and move on?

What plan are you using?

Att unlimited. $65 plan.

I have heard others saying that the pre-paid att phone plans, and some consumer lvl post paid, have been getting cracked down on.

I'm not certain as I've not used it myself lately.

Could possibly be the case.. my lack of knowledge isn’t helping either.

If I remember correctly, the apn for prepaid phone plan is 'nxtgenphone' and not 'broadband'. I think broadband apn is for hotplot/tablet type devices. Might try changing apn and see what happens? Also might try to ping another device from the router to verify it is using correct TTL.

I will give it a shot and see what happens.

Just an update for anyone who is fallowing, still no luck. Going to try a Verizon sim and see if that works.
