Additional Methods of Programming.
If your device is not responding to SMS messages or calls after SIM card set up, its possible your network requires an APN to be preset into the device prior to programming. You can use a Window App to program the device also. More information on how to do basic programming and app download here
In addition to the Windows Parameter Editor App, a 3rd party app from Google Play is available for download – Smart Locator App
APN set up instructions can be downloaded here
