Hello
I am trying to get a SixFab 3/4G.LTE Hat with a Telit 910C4-NF modem to connect with the Bell LTE network in Canada. The card and modem were used by a colleague of mine in the US on a different network, but I am not sure if it was with a SixFab SIM card or not, and he is gone now. I am using it with a BELL LTE SIM card and I have successfully used that same SIM card with a PiTalk Hat and a Quectel EG25 G modem so I am pretty confident in the SIM card.
I am following the guidelines at
(These same commands also work for the EG25 G modem on the PiTalk Hat)
All works fine on the SixFab HAT/Telit 910C4-NF modem until the line
sudo qmicli -p -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --device-open-net=‘net-raw-ip|net-no-qos-header’ --wds-start-network= “apn=‘pda.bell.ca’, ip-type=4” --client-no-release-cid
This returns the error
error: couldn’t start network: QMI protocol error (14): ‘CallFailed’
call end reason (1018): gsm-wcdma-option-unsubscribed
verbose call end reason (6,33): [3gpp] option-unsubscribed
[/dev/cdc-wdm0] Client ID not released:
Service: ‘wds’
CID: ‘19’
There is no username or password required for the BELL SIM card.
The Telit modem seems to be requesting GSM-WCDMA service, but I know the network uses LTE in this area and the QUECETEL modem does connect with LTE radio interface.
It could also be that the Telit 910C4-NF modem is programmed for T-MOBILE, since the response to the command
sudo qmicli -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 --wds-get-profile-list=3gpp
seems to ignore any attempt to connect to pda.bell.ca

Is there any reason the modem would be trying to connect in GSM/WCDMA mode? Any thoughts on how to debug what I think is a connection error using either AT or QMI commands would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
