displayed:

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).

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.
