Can't get FreedomPop or Truphone to work
I've been trying to get either a Freedom Pop or Truphone SIM to work in my 2012 A7. I'm following the directions I've found in posts here -- inputting the APN and then either entering in my own user name/password, entering nothing, or spaces in the user name/password spots. I get bars on the reception meter, which tells me the SIM is functioning in some sense, but the MMI tells me that no data have gone in or out and I'm not seeing any extra functionality to my nav unit or search. Other people seem to be getting these working and I've copied their approaches to the letter, so I'm wondering if there's anything else I missed. Thanks!

@agbiggs: Your MY2012 A7 was intended for T-Mobile 3G service, as it was provisioned at the time. In 2019, everything is changed (and those of us with working 3G from AT&T now might not have that for too much longer)...
