Re: Venn mobile wont connect
Sprint based services are sometimes tricky to configure properly.
Try flashing the modem with the latest firmware, and in settings change the firmware image to Sprint.
You will also need to change the IMEI assigned to the SIM in the network for it to work, by either calling customer service or possibly through your online account (look for something like equipment/IMEI update). Most carriers don't like their phone service being used in a router, so if you need to talk to them just play it off it's a GPS tracking device for your car.
Any Sprint experts out there should be able to chime in on this for further help.

Re: Venn mobile wont connect
I have spent many hours experimenting with Sprint MVNO and the em7455. Was never successful in getting connection. Not saying it is not possible, but sure has taken me for spin. Calling couple of the MVNO providers got me no where.Using either the mc7455 and the em7511 using a sprint sim from venn mobile. It will work in att hotspot but it wont work with the generic firmware in either.
I found one device that worked with a Sprint MVNO (band 41 only) and it is of course from The Wireless Haven
Seriously though it is from The Wireless Haven but worked for me after some tweaks discovered here on forum:http://wirelessjoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=768&sid=60cc35605d86477c0d7522f7311b298f#p4659
Some of those settings may help or may not, but very good info!
The The Wireless Haven product is https://thewirelesshaven.com/shop/antennas/4g-lte ... t-band-41/
Maybe some others that have been successful with MC/EMXXXX will see this thread and share some tips. I too would love to hear what others have come up with.
BTW: I might just give Venn Mobile a try, pretty good deal. Have they been around long?
