" ... At&t does not understand that I wish a sim card for my MOBILE WIFI HOTSPOT. ... "
" ... I had to return it because it was used but I ordered a new one, this one had a broken SIM card reader so it didn’t work. ... "
" ... There was no SIM card included and the device IMEI did not come up on AT&T's own device unlock portal as an eligible device to unlock. ... "
" ... I tried to turn on with a T-mobile sim card and appears clearly that the sim is locked. ... "
" ... Placed SIM and it did not work SIM LOCK error came up on the Device Screen. ... "
" ... I went to the T-Mobile dealer to exchange my large, older SIM for a new one, popped it in, but the screen said "SIM Lock.". ... "
" ... No SIM included in packaging like new unit. ... "
" ... "GA108: We don't recognize that SIM card number. ... Your SIM card number has 20 digits and starts with 89." ... So I tried again, and again, and even swapped the SIM card's ICCID with the WiFi's ICCID just to see if it'd work. ... After debating the trustworthiness of the Fred Meyer (a Kroger subsidiary) store in which I purchased the SIM card, the customer support agent fed me that line of "not activating devices acquired through unknown means 'for legal reasons.'" ...
