That's probably normal but what I did with on a ZTE M667 which reported by  Fortinet as a 668

 

issue a  diag cmd ATI ( attention identification/inquiry )

 

diag sys modem cmd ati

 

and then also use the

diag sys modem external

diag sys modem detect

 

You can also use the fnsysctl hidden command against the proc system and usb devices

e.g

fnsysctl cat  /proc/bus/usb/devices

 

NOTE: you need to enable the sys modem status enable which I believe you already done.

 

 

And then you build a custom modem entry. Once you build custom model profiles, you can pass this off and assigned it as your model.

 

config system 3g-modem custom

   edit vend ZTE

     set modem "MF190

     set  vendor-id < the id you found here from any of the above ouputs>

     set product-id < product id you found here from any of the above>

    next

end

 

Afterwards it straight , setup and init straight an possible APN definition. You can use my post here on a typical setup. I find most huawei and simple and works with much ease than ZTEs.

if your still struggling which carrier issues, take the model and use a window or better yet a linux/macosx and issues the  at cmds;

 

atz

AT+CGDCONT=1,"APNname here"

atd *99N

 

And see if the model dial and any reported errors.
