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. ...

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.

Yes, that's why I had asked - over here in Europe these kind of romaings are uncommon. Challenge Verizon if they support anything like this.... Guess you need to have roaming enabled for this, too.

Thanks for writing back. I did talk to Verizon, they said there is no limitations on Roaming with my data plan, so I think it is a problem with the Nighthawk MR1100. Why does it say "Cellular Data Off" on the App screen for example?
