hey, I have a new device (kind of an IOT device) with eSim, it is supposed to be prepaid, but I don’t know how to check the details, and whether it has global data plan already. I don’t have the number, can have the imsi number the embedded sim is MFF2-QNF8 how can I proceed? #eSim #germany

hey, I have a new device (kind of an IOT device) with eSim, it is supposed to be prepaid and activated, but It is not connecting and I don’t know how to check the details, and whether it has global data plan already. I don’t have a phone number or anything, can have the imsi number. the embedded sim is from the family MFF2-QNF8 how can I proceed? Thanks

The problem is, I bought this from a private person used on ebay. I hope they answer next week on my mail.

@afzal_m Sounds good, how about BG600? - it has a similar FW to BG95/96

@Sven-Brandau said in Network time: Hello, is the feature ‘network time’ (3GPP 27.007 Ch. 8.15) for NB-IOT/Cat-M1 supported in the Deutsche Telekom mobile network? The NRF9160 SIP returns an error, while requesting the time. Also after a long time of being connected. Hi Sven, sorry that it took us so long. But now we have a clear statement from our experts that the network time feature is NOT supported in our network in Germany.

Thansk Roalnd. Sorry for the delay… had another project. This works for me as well and now I can continue. regards, Paul

@Roalnd-Baldin Has this been rolled out already? Do you have any idea when we can expect it? Thanks in advance!

@Roalnd-Baldin Thanks for helping, but not working. AT+CSOSEND=0,22,"48656c6c6f20576f726c64" OK Sim7020 working with hex length, not with the byte, so I tried with hex format, but the message not arrived the iotcreator and Beecaptor. Can you anything idea? Thanks all!

Hi Eben, Quick feedback: I can use GNSS and TCP at the same time using the SIM7000E using the latest firmware, which I had to update beforehand.

@Florian-Duecker I am using T-Mobile NB IoT sim card. I already sent you the ID of the sim card so you are suggesting me to order a new sim card from link you sent? I’ll check it.

Unfortunately it didn’t work out, what we tried yesterday. Please follow this topic for new updates.

@Roalnd-Baldin Cool! Nice to see it works now.

@Martijn-Kooijman I solved it by checking the return message after sending “AT+USOCR=17,7000”. Once it is contains “+USOCR: 0” in the returning string I know it is ok: (it takes about 5 s after a reset) added code: String check_sara=cmd("AT+USOCR=17,7000"); while ((check_sara.indexOf("+USOCR: 0",1)<0)) { delay(500); check_sara=cmd("AT+USOCR=17,7000"); Serial.println(check_sara);//just for checking }

@Crowdsourcer I don’t know. BQ24195 is pretty solid. Probe it if you need to.

Hi Tibor, Did you succeed to connect? I want to use the Boron to.

Problem solved. It denpends on the sim card

@inge-eriksen Hi Inge, all of our SIMs for M2M and IoT are G-SIMs, which means that technically they are always roaming. So a query for the registration state, for instance with AT+CEREG, should always yield: 5. On our testcards, we have currently no HPLMN deployed. For this reason the modem searches for a suitable network and will consider any NB-IoT network on the supported bands. To make sure that the modem will only connect to the DT network, you can either fall back to manual network selection (PLMN-Id=26201), or restrict the supported bands to band 8. This will exclude any operators in Germany for which we have not yet roaming agreements. Best regards, Thorsten

Edit: Just after posting, I struck upon this topic and was able to succesfully connect. Now I’am figuring out how to setup the socket and start sending Hello world! messages. I will do my best to keep you updated!

@hans-van-de-meent Ok top!

It is true that there is no time synchronization in Germany. The CCLK feature does not work on the network in Germany. The manual of the n211 says it comes back with a +CCLK measage but in practice it only gives OK when this feature does not work on the network. Best Regards
