Nighthawk M5 AT&T Looking for APN
For SafeLink Wireless, I pay for the extra unlimited data allowance, I'm also using the Verizon tower coverage, but it shows no signal nothing, when I had the T-Mobile coverage towers and sim variant...
It sounds like the M5 simply isn’t seeing Verizon signal at all. The APNs you tried are correct, especially TRACFONE.VZWINTERNET. If you still get zero signal, the AT&T model of the M5 likely doesn’t support the Verizon bands in your area. That’s why it worked on the T Mobile side but not now. The issue is signal compatibility, not your APN settings.
I guess it's like Jack said, I don't have those bands to connect, that's why it's just not doing anything.
Yeah, that’s exactly it. If the bands aren’t there, no APN will fix it. The AT&T M5 just isn’t a good match for Verizon in many areas. Switching back to a T Mobile based SIM is usually the only real solution.
I may try allvoi they seem to have a good uncapped unlimited talk text and data plan. Cricket said there was a sim in an unauthorized device, att prepaid just up and killed my plan with no warnings whatsoever 30 minutes of having it on, is mobile terminated my plan when I switched devices to from to hotspot.
