I'm trying to get a BG96 up on to the Verizon network to do some MQTT communication.
The Quectel docs say to follow the TCP/IP AT command state machine before doing the MQTT commands. Makes sense to me.
I have an activated SIM card with an M2M data plan for this device, but it never seems to get past the second step, registering for CS service. It gives status of 2, "Not registered, but MT is currently trying to attach or searching an operator to register to." I checked the antenna and moved to a location closer to windows, but no luck.

OK
at+cpin?
+CPIN: READY
OK
at+creg?
+CREG: 0,2
OK
The same status is returned for the PS services, FWIW, but that's not surprising I think because the Quectel BG96 AT docs say you must register CS service first.
Any idea why a BG96 would be stuck at status 2 for at+creg??
