@Saadooooo and rest of the users,
NETGEAR has not received any communication from STC as to why NETGEAR devices are being blocked in this region. If STC has had a policy change to not allow devices that are not specifically manufactured for them on their network or has decided to ban FDD bands/devices from the network, unfortunately, that is beyond our control. We recommend that customers of STC contact STC directly and request an explanation as to why their device is being blocked.
If Huawei is providing instructions to change IMEI please understand this is highly unethical and illegal and we strongly discouraged this as a solution. IMEI manipulation is considered an unethical/illegal solution to the STC problem.
NETGEAR as a company operates with extremely high ethical standards and will not provide any solutions that are unethical and go against what NETGEAR stands for and believes in.
