MT 3060 User Guide 25
Activating The Device
NOTE: This task applies to the CDMA 1xRTT version of the MT3060.
Verizon Activation:
To activate with Verizon, the user must contact Verizon and provide the MEID of the device to the
provider. Once Verizon has acknowledged that the device is ready to activate, the user will then be
required to send an activation string to the network.
Send the activation string: AT+CDV*22899. This will initiate a call with the network. A successful call will
last approximately 40 seconds. If the call is terminated within 10-15 seconds, the call was not
successful. Multiple attempts might be required. If the call is not successful after a few attempts, please
check the MEID of the device and compare it with the MEID provided to the provider.
To verify that the activation has successfully completed, attempt a voice call AT+CDVxxxxxx. If the call is
successful, then the over-the-air provisioning was successful.
As part of the activation process, the network will download a new PRL. The device will reset after the
PRL is successfully reset to allow the new PRL to take effect.
Sprint Activation:
To activate with Sprint, the user must contact Sprint and provide the MEID of the device. After the MEID
is provided to Sprint, the user will need to power on the device when instructed by the carrier. The
device will automatically activate when it attaches to the network. For the first attempt the user should
see a series of unsolicited reports. If the device gets to +HFA: 6, the device has successfully activated.
This process can take up to 60 seconds to complete. AT+HFA? can be used to query the activation
state. A response of 1 means the device is successfully activated. A response of 0 means that it has not.
An unsuccessful activation attempt may take up to 5 minutes, because of the number of retries
specified by the carrier.
As part of the activation process, the network will download a new PRL. The device will reset after the
PRL is successfully reset to allow the new PRL to take effect.
