Cell C sim works
Hi guys
I am in the same boat. I have the MTN card. I can get the Cell C sim to work. Right now I am typing this usingn the Cell C sim in the card. All I did was to create a new profile in the MTN software that had the APN set as "internet". Then hit connect.
So clearly the Cell C sim card works. The Datacard is not network locked and not banned from the Cell C ( and VM) network via IMEI or some other means. The problem is not on the Cell C network side as their sims and network work with the card. The error must be on the VM side. Either as they say the sims are defective or they have some other error- maybe authentication problems.
Why from a techical side does one have to use the AT string when one uses a phone as a modem to connect to VM dtata. One does not have to do this when one uses Cell C data for the same modem( SE W800). The problem might lie here??? Someone with techical knowledge please step in.
