The following temporary error states–states that may disappear without interaction– may be
displayed:
•
Emergency calls only
The modem has found a network but is not allowed to register (e.g. no roaming agreement
between networks). The modem keeps searching for another network.
•
No network found
A network is not currently available. The modem continues searching for a network.
•
Packet data not available
The current network does not support packet data.
•
Packet data not allowed
The modem is not allowed to use packet data on the current network (e.g. no packet data
roaming agreement between network; a roaming agreement for voice may still be in place).
It is also possible that you do not have a subscription for packet data at all.
The remaining error states are permanent:
•
SIM is missing
Note: If you exceed the number of allowable attempts, a PUK entry window is brought to
the foreground. You’ll need to enter a new PIN number.
