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. ...

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?

Does roaming imply the international roaming, or the national roming where there is no coverage? Two very different things.
So you might have to enable roaming on the MR1100 to start with.
https://www.verizon.com/support/domestic-roaming-faqs/ (don't know if htis is applicable to your data only plan however) says "you need to enable data roaming on your device".

Thanks for responding. Yes, the data roaming box is checked on my device. I'm unsure about what other changes I need to make to the MR1100 settings from within the App.
