We have an ID data only sim in our NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi router. Currently in Germany but router is reporting:

Registration Error

The service request is rejected by the network. Please contact your service provider for help. (ESM #33 - Check access point name in Profile setting or SIM card subscription)

Access point name is correct : 3internet

Please advise

    Hi ​@TraceyM,

     

    Thanks for your post.

     

    As the SIM is being used in a NETGEAR Nighthawk router, we're quite limited in the troubleshooting we can provide, as iD Mobile SIMs are designed for use in mobile phones rather than third-party router devices.

     

    To help narrow down the cause, we'd recommend:

    • Removing the SIM from the router and inserting it into an unlocked mobile phone.
    • Checking whether calls, texts and mobile data work on the phone.
    • If the SIM works correctly in the phone, try using the phone as a mobile hotspot as a temporary workaround.

     

    If the SIM doesn't work in the phone either, then the issue may be related to the SIM or account rather than the router itself.

     

    As the APN is already set to 3internet, and the router is reporting a subscription/APN-related error, testing the SIM in a handset is the best next step to determine whether the issue lies with the device or the service.

     

    If the issue persists when the SIM is in a phone, please contact our Customer Service Team via Live Chat for further assistance: https://www.idmobile.co.uk/live-chat

     

    We hope this helps point you in the right direction.

     

    Regards,
