Hi Andreas,

You could try to change the PDP context number from 1 to something else,
e.g., 2, 3 or even higher. It is the first number in the AT+CGDCONT and
AT^NDISDUP commands. Change it in all of them in ncm.json. Command
AT+CGDCONT? should show all the profiles from the SIM, and they may be
locked. AT+CGDCONT is standardized by 3GPP, and should work in all dongles
accepting AT-commands.

Maybe your B593 also shows the existing profiles and their types in the web
UI?

Matti
