I can confirm that the device can send texts. I use the same 320U and 340U
with AT&T and T-Mobile sims. Text is actually how they reset your account
password if you need it. I use the prepaid plans.

According to AT&T sales, the Netgear Beam is a "data-only" device and canno=
t
send SMS when I just tried to order one. I wouldn't care what they thought,
but they won't let me set up a plan that includes text. Anyone have any
suggestions?
