How to connect to Mint Mobile on the Librem 5?

Hello everyone!

I have been attempting to utilize Mint until my AweSim arrives but for the life of me cannot connect. Does anyone know if these APN settings are false? Or perhaps there is a known bug/workaround?

What OS is that? Now I see it’s Mobian.
What is shown on the “Mobile” page (or your equivalent) in phone Settings? Is the network connected to “T-mobile” there?
What network speed do you have set, e.g. “LTE only,” or something that looks like “2G, 3G, 4G (preferred)”?)
Why are there two network icons in your top notifications area, as if the device were dual SIM?

If you click the Edit button on the screen here:

…do some additional settings appear?

What is recorded on the “CarrierMMSC” line in this file:

/home/purism/.mms/modemmanager/mms

(Should only affect MMS, though.)

It looks like maybe it is trying to open an authentication portal for Mint, but can’t?

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this is standard with Mobian. Perhaps, one shows when LTE/Data is turned on?

(excuse my poor editing attempt)
Do these settings coincide with Spacebar?

No, not really.

“Any” network type is selected.

The other APNs were generated by clicking the autodetection feature.

I am not incorrect in noting that you cannot lock a Librem 5, right?

I am silly, I put in the wrong SIM.
