USR is merely a marketing company with the worst technical support.
The wireless products of USR is only an add on me-too line for them and most
of the USR customer support has little knowledge about their own products.
Sales department does not even know what they are selling.  Technical
support was probably outsourced to some call center who recruits people with
little training.
They even tell customer that they have no access to the FCCID on their own
products.
