Getting started with LTE-M
-
I’m trying to get a connection throught LTE-M, As I posted here:

In the Starterkit project I can register a SIM card, and when I start entering the ICC number, I get a dropdown from which I can select a number. One of these numbers indeed matched a SIM card that I had ( except for the last digit, but I assume this some kind of test number). Now I cannot get (any of) my devices to connect to the network so I thought I’d use a different SIM. But none of the other 20 SIM cards I have here is listed in the dropdown-box, and when I try to enter the number manually, it is not accepted. (Error: We cannot find your SIM card in our system). So what should I enter here, or is there another way to register the cards ? -
@cees-meijer that is probably because our backend doesnt know that these simcards belong to you… (our fault, sorry for that).
I can fix that for you if you send me the simcardnumbers (just the last 6 digits of each or the first and last one of the batch).
You can send me a pm here or email me directly

The sim that you already registered had an old profile. Therefore it was not able to connect to APN m2m.public.nl. I have changed the profile, as of tomorrow it should work.
The batch of 10 simcards that you have sent me do have the new profile already. And as promised, I have added them to your account, so now you will be able to register them.
Hope this works!

@afzal_m OK. So I spend two days pestering the people at PyCom and here to find out why my FiPy would not connect to the network, and now it all probably comes down to an incorrect SIM card ? So you learn something new, every day…
But if this solves it, it would definitely make my day ! (And no, I don’t blame anybody, this is just what engineering is about, I suppose.
) -
Sorry for the inconvenience
Hope it works now

And it works ! I could register my SIM card, and after starting my FiPy test program it connected within 30 seconds. Thank you.
