Using your phone:
- Disable PIN code on the SIM card
- Check your balance
- Check that APN, User, Pass are correct and you have internet
Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted into the board
Ensure that GSM antenna is firmly attached
NOTE: While GSM is connected to the Internet, WiFi can be used only in AP mode
