We purchased the AT&T Beam and I've configured smstools under linux and eve=
rything looks okay (no error messages). Although text messages are accepted=
 by the modem, no texts show up. I've learned that some carrier's mobile da=
ta sim don't support text. We have the sim that came with the box we ordere=
d from AT&T. AT&T is clueless and transferred me to netgear support.=20

Does anyone have a suggestion where I can get a carrier/plan/sim that will =
work with the AC340U and text messages? I would prefer a plan rather than a=
 pre-paid card that I have to re-fill. If you suggest a carrier, what magic=
 words do I need to speak to have them order the right thing?
