Hello,
I had a vexing problem with getting my BR mini 5g connecting to Total by Verizon over the last few days.
I had an old 4g iPhone xr that I reactivated and used to the sim for. I was able able to obtain an IP address through Verizon, but no internet. I tried some 2 different Apns with the same result.
I figured that the old sim card may not be compatible since it was 4g. I bought a new one 5g tracphone sim card, swapped Sims and had it activated, and still had the same problem. The xr phone was able to get internet, but not the BR mini.
Finally, I took the sim card from one of my other active lines, a newer apple s 3rd Gen phone. That did the trick.
I think the hang up might be that the new sim card was limited by total wireless because the XR is a 4g phone.
I will do more testing with the 3rd Gen phone on the tracphone sim to see if it gets 5g.
Anyhow, I hope this helps people who experience similar problems.
