Finally able to get it working

I've been able to use it to access the internet and take calls so far, after a lot of searching and googling I came across instructions on how to set up another one but it worked for the waveshare module, google "mPCIe Modem QMI Interface Internet Connection Setup #2" and open the "embeddedpi" website. I connected the module to Raspberry Pi 4 using both gpio "gpio is needed for AT commands" and USB which says "usb" and not "usb to uart" when I was using minicom communicated with the module…

Pros
  • Like everything before
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Doesn't work with Pi 4B

Purchased at the end of June 2020. Couldn't get it to work with my Pi4b. The support service is slow, it takes a week to reply. All forums tried different approaches to setup, still to no avail. I've waited too long and now I can't go back. From the positive comments, it was checked from a PC. Works great.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Works great for mobile broadband internet and AT commands, but not both at the same time

I was actually hoping to use this product to make my own Raspberry Pi 4 powered mobile phone. At first everything seemed great. Ubuntu already enabled kernel modules for this and it was recognized immediately and I was able to set up an internet connection right in the Ubuntu Settings app. Sending AT commands to perform all actions (SMS and phone calls) also works great. However, when I try to do everything at once, I keep encountering problems. It's not just AT command multiplexing. The device

Pros
  • Full set
Cons
  • Empty
