SIM card will not activate in Mesa 3 Windows

31 Oct 2024

This information applies to Mesa 3 Windows.

In Windows, APN (Access Point Name) settings are typically configured automatically when a SIM card is inserted. However, as 3G networks are phased out, some 4G LTE cellular modems may fail to retrieve APN settings automatically, preventing SIM card activation. This issue can affect modems that use the QMI (Qualcomm MSM Interface) API which Windows no longer supports. For more information, see Apply an APN with Skylight.
