Netgear Aircard 770S doesn't work with new AT&T Sim Cards

Let's make this your last stop, Hotspot_User! We really want to help get your Netgear Aircard 770S connected to the AT&T network!

With more information about your experience, we can help find the best solutions for you:

• Did you ever receive any notifications requesting you to upgrade your device due to the 3G sunset? The reason we ask is because AT&T shut down the 3G network. You could be impacted by this change. You will find 3G sunset updates and more information here in the Forums. You will come across a list of supported devices. Your device may no longer be supported.
• You mentioned that there wasn't an issue with the old SIM connecting to the network, were there any signs of connection? We're trying to see why only the old SIM connects.  
• Did customer support confirm that your new account was set up and activated? We may need to review your account for any activation error. New SIM activation may need to be performed on your account.

Don't forget to fill us in with more information so we can help get your device connected!

To answer your questions:

Yes, my device is on the list Netgear Air Card 770S is on the list of supported equipment. And no I did not receive a sunset 3G notice as this device supports both 3G and 4G.

There is no issue connecting the old SIM card to the network, upon startup I get 4 bars in the upper left of the screen and the message Account Not Provisioned.  With the new SIM card all I get is a circle with a slash through it.

Yes, customer service confirmed that the accounts were set up and activated, every time I spoke to a new customer service agent they needed the SIM card ICCID and the IMEI for the devices.

The last person I talked to said she did everything she could and she was opening a case.  Someone would call me is 1 to 2 weeks.  About 8 hours on the phone into this, needless to say I am not holding my breath.  

I have 2 devices, and have tried 3 SIM Cards and get the same result every time. I think there is something that changed in the way the SIM card works and no one has ever tried it with this device.

I'm pretty sure the problem is that devices it is now excluded from the network.

Devices that will work on AT&T now that 3g is gone

Guess again formerlyknownas - Netgear Unite - AC770S is on the tested and approved list.
