Subject description: How to setup Sprint 3G modem		  
I just changed my service from Verizon to Sprint and the settings that worked like a charm on the Novatel USB760 do not get it done with the Sierra 598U. It maybe something simple or maybe something got updated since I last used the other modem.
Anyone out there using this modem with good results. Would like to hear your setup.

I have posted a diag file as well.

I've had 3 different sierra modems over the years and I probably wouldn't buy any other brand given the choice.

I can see yours is detected and loaded fine. Where are you getting stuck? The phone number for Sprint is usually #777.

I was just to where it should connect but didn't have a clue about what numbers to use for well the numbers. I was using what I had used for Verizon modem and I asked Rerwin and he deferred to your knowledge of Sprint modems so I will give that I try once I can pry the modem away from the router. It is our only source of an ISP other that dailup. Thanks to both of you.
