Your ICCID is listed in the Connection Details dialog.

Go to our activation page and enter your ICCID to make sure your SIM card has been activated. Go to the Washington Toolbox > Cellular to find your ICCID-- It's a 19-digit number that starts with "89". If it is not activated, buy a data plan to activate the SIM.

Configure APN

In some cases the internet will start working without setting up the APN. This may happen when you connect with a T-Mobile tower, but it is temporary. You will still need to set up the APN on the data collector with the following instructions.

In the lower right area of the task bar, tap the Internet icon (three types of internet icons are circled in red below) and make sure that Cellular is enabled:

Everything else should be blank or marked as None or Default as shown below.

Make sure the Cellular button is on as shown above and wait two minutes to allow time for the first connection until you see "Connected, roaming".
