Thanks, John. It is that SKU. But if they were going to block the plan why would they allow it to work sometimes for hours at a time, and then other times for only a few moments? Why would they turn it on and off?

This depends on how network sets up the rules to check. Some networks checks when the device tries to connect to the network/. Then the data connection will be rejected right way with the cause of Illegal UE. Some network may check periodically on the blocked devices and disconnect the data connection.
Thanks
