ndo APN not allowed on MR5100

Hi.  Any idea why an AT&T MR5100 would say "This APN is not allowed on this device." when I enter 'ndo' as the APN?  I'm trying to get the MR5100 to work with Cricket and 'ndo' is the Cricket APN.

 

Thanks.

    Cricket is pretty specific about what plans will work on hotspots. If you're on a phone plan, trying to use it with a hotspot, it won't work. It has to be a data only plan and most of crickets aren't worth it.
