If it works with one phone but not another, then I would suspect that
the provider has some sort of registration mechanism for the phones --
you'd have to contact the provider to find out why one works and the
other doesn't.

Yes, it's possible that the Novatel device requires a different init
string. No, I have no real idea what that should be (it sounds like
you need a technical reference manual for the device), but see below.

In searching the net on Novatel, it seems that a lot of people running
Linux are having similar issues.
What do your chat scripts look like? The best advice I've seen so far
(from doing some google searches) is to include the following before
the ATD command:
"" "ATZ"
OK "AT+CMEE=1"
OK 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"'
