MR1100 Nighthawk Roaming Data Disabled

I have a new unlocked M1 nighthawk.  I purchased a data-only SIM card from Verizon.  I am getting the messages "Roaming Data Disabled" and "Mobile Broadband Disconnected" when I power on the device. 

 

On the app first screen (see image) the words "Cellular Data Off" appear in the upper right corner

 

What settings do I need to change:

 

APN Verizon

Network Mode Auto

Band Region LTE ALL

Domestic Data (on)

International Roaming (off)

 

Advanced Info Tab:

 

Roaming Yes

IP Address 0.0.0.0

Radio Band LTE B12

  • addendum: 

    the router will connect to a Verizon tower and flash blue when in range, but the moment the router is out of range of a Verizon tower (and in range of a U.S. Cellular LTE network for example) the light switches to amber and "Mobile Broadband Disconnected"

      Can you usually use for example a U.S. Cellular LTE network using a Verizon SIM?

       

      Usually "roaming" is international (see the screenshot provided above) when you are abroad.

        Thanks so much for your reply.  On my iPhone for example I have a T-Mobile data plan but when roaming in rural areas with no T-Mobile coverage it automatically switches to U.S. Cellular.
