Block Verizon connectivity on Freematics One

Curious if anyone else has had a similar experience with Freematics devices - I've been having a heck of a time with reliable connectivity with the Freematics ONE. I have hologram sims, and they work great, BUT - i've noticed in recent troubleshooting that IF the device selects the VERIZON hologram network, it immediately disconnects and does not work - but if it connects to AT&T, it hooks up immediately no issues. Reading further it seems verizon is extremley picky with what devices they allow on their network - so my thought was just to instruct the device to NOT connect to verizon....however I'm not sure where in the freematics code I would go to do that - anyone else have any insight on this?

It should be possible, but it sounds like pretty advanced customization. Have you tried asking Codex to do it for you?

No - to be completley honest never tried the tool before. I'll check it out though.

I am also having this issue. Just drove 50 miles and the whole time I was on Verizon. Sometimes I can just reboot the device, and it would jump over to AT&T or T-Mobile, but it would not. I have only been using Hologram since the beginning of January, but didn't have an issue with Verizon until 2 week ago.
I just emailed Hologram to see if they have an APN that can lock to one network. I have also read that Verizon can whitelist devices that are not "Certified" but you have to be one of their customers, so have also asked Hologram if they have the ability get to get a device whitelisted on there network.
If I can't get this to work with Hologram, I will have to look for anther IoT SIM that will allow me to have the option of not using Verizon. Does anyone know of any other good IoT data providers?
