Yeah, that was an early thought of mine too, and actually an early suggestion from Tello.
Unfortunately, does absolutely seem like just an issue with Tello. I cleaned the sim, and even tried a different Tello sim from my sons tablet, and even cleaned that one too - still same issues. And given the amount of people who complain in the discord specifically about Tello, I sadly think it’s just not a good option any more. Shame since they were so cheap.
My issue is a bit harder to pin it on Tello. There is something wonky on Rabbit as well.
Steps 3-4 happens regularly (80% chance).
It seems to be picky on SIM or should I say the account make. I have a T-Mobile account from a hot-spot device from them and it seems to work fine, just poor coverage for me in my area. What’s strange I have a Wi-Fi in my vehicle it’s using Verizon account which works for my Apple Music and other things, but when I hook up my r1 it hooks up to it, but has a “no internet connection” I’ve opened a ticket on it.
Yeah, after trying a few other sims now, I’m starting to agree it’s a bit harder to blame on just Tello. Tried a few others, still can’t stay connected to anything until a reboot, then it will stay connected for a few seconds then no connection again.
I think at this point the r1 for me gets to stay at home until rabbit can actually either sort out what happened, or we nail down a sim that works across the board. It feels like a giant mess as it looks like what works for some won’t work for others, etc.
Unfortunately, I’ve recently noticed (past week or so) this same issue where the r1 looks like it’s connected to cellular but when I use the PTT button, it switches to “connecting” and then “disconnected” and then settled on “no connection”. Sleep screen and then wake screen gets me to “disconnected” and then settled on “no connection”. 5x PTT stays at no connection. 8x PTT gets me maybe 1 question before back to"no connection ". All this is with T-Mobile SIM in United States.

Yeah, any service using t mobile towers in the US just doesn’t work with the r1 anymore, for a lot of people anyway. It will always do that. The services will say it’s rabbit’s fault, rabbit says it’s them. Best to find something else.
I wish we rabbit would like partner with someone, finding a service that works for everyone in the us seems like a shit show lol
