4G LTE Modem LB1120

I am wondering if this will work with a verizon sim card? The LB1120.

    No, the LB1120 will not work with a Verizon SIM card (or a Sprint SIM card).

     

    The LB1120 will work with ATT or TMO SIM cards in US or with Rogers, Bell or Telus SIM cards in Canada.

      Has the LB1120 been tested with Freedom Mobile (Formally Wind Mobile - another Canadian Provider), or perhaps even Fido?

       

      From my discussions with Freedom Mobile tech support, their Sim cards are comptatiable with any device that operates on 1700/2100 band.

        I am not aware of any specific testing done on Freedom Mobile.

        However, the LB1120-100NAS does support LTE Band4 (1700/2100) so should be compatible.

         

        Fido is an MVNO on the Rogers network, so should also work.

    Worked fine with 2 different Verizon SIM cards swapped from. Phones, but Verizon would not recognize the IMEI on the device. I simply left the SIM in from my not-needed phone and all is OK. Will be working on getting Verizon to recognize that the IMEI for LB1120 should be valid.
