Neither plan will work in a modem due to the IMEI recognition. And as far as the speed of your tablet plan not sure if it’s your signal because with the stay at home orders in certain areas the towers are congested and causing slow speeds.

Yes that is correct. I gave them the modem IMEI number when they asked but stuck it in a phone to receive the activation text. The phone plans are completely different than the tablet or iPad plans that they have started doing away with.

They are able to detect and block the modem IMEI number. You can activate the sim using the modem IMEI but when connecting it sends you to ATT homepage. Take the sim out put it in a phone everything works fine. Hope this helps.

Thanks for sharing that your having the same issue with the 75 that I am with the 65. As far as the IMEI I’m not sure because I have them the modem IMEI when I setup the plan. But would like to know if there is a way to change the IMEI that way I could test to see if that’s actually the issue.

So I was thinking since the plan I have doesn’t have hotspot or tethering maybe that’s what’s hold me up.

Found this on a sight not sure if it’s relevant and the post was dated from 2018

1. The phone asks the carrier network if tethering is allowed
2. The carriers sniff user agent headers
3. The carriers measure the TTL's
4. Top 1% of data usage invites an account audit

It's confirmed that T-Mobile ...

I have no clue about the random number. I know the ttl on my iPhone is 32. As of right now I’ve tried everything thing I could think of.

I can’t access through the phone using WiFi either. And I’m not sure what TTL to use especially if I have to use a different incoming and outgoing. Never used a UA would like to know more on that is there a discussion forum that covers how it works?

Yeah they accepted the IMEI. And if I put it in a phone everything works fine.

Yes they ask for one. I wondering about that myself because I used my modem IMEI thinking that would be the best option.

Yeah it’s crazy that cricket will work but not att

I tried that but still the same outcome

New to the forum since my reseller shut down I’ve been testing a couple of options. I have the cricket 60 plan and can get it to work. I purchased the att 65 plan and when it connects it shots me to a page saying I’m out of internet which I’m not. The only difference is the cricket plan has hotspot ...
