If either of these commands returns 

ERROR,

 enter the command 

AT+CEER

This command will return the reason for the error. The full list of errors can 
be find in the AT command manual available at 

www.zoomtel.com/4630support

.  The most common errors involve 

rejected activation or requested services not subscribed.  Possible reasons 
for these errors include: 

1)

 

Incorrect APN – check with your service provider that the APN configured 
in step 2 is correct. 

2)

 

The data plan you are subscribed to does not support the type of 
connection you are making. If you are subscribed to a LTE only data plan 
but are trying to connect on 3G, you could be rejected. 

3)

 

You are roaming on another network but your data plan does not allow 
roaming.  To check if you are roaming, enter the command 

AT+CREG .

 If 

the modem rCREG: 1,5 then the modem is roaming on another 
network. 

4)

 

Your cellular data account may not have been activated or is currently 
suspended.  Your service provider may have sent you a SIM and not 
activated your account or may have temporarily suspended your 
account.  Please contact your service provider to confirm the status of 
your account.
