IMEI at AT&T

[megiddo]

I have the global LARA-R6001, 00B-00, I'm in the USA. The phone is red, so I figured it'll go faster.

Anyways, the documentation claims that it only works with AT&T, but I get "IMEI not found. Please try re-entering." when trying to sign up with them.

T-Mobile is willing to accept the IMEI but I would prefer the AT&T plans.

When I look at the LARA-R6001 documentation on page 34 (https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_LTE_ ... asheet.pdf) it shows that AT&T is only only supported with the 01B LARA chipsets not

Am I cooked? Any advice on getting the IMEI on AT&T?

T-Mobile is definitely the most lax carrier when it comes to connecting devices to their network. Some phone companies like FIG recommend entering the IMEI from your smartphone or old smartphone you have lying around, but I don't think that is really advisable or legal??
