      I Registered my Sim card by Imei today , and try to connect to the Network using a Sim7000E
      However AT+CREG? always shows 0,2 (Automatic , Searching)
      Operator Check :
      AT+COPS=?
      +COPS: (1,“204 04”,“204 04”,“20404”,0),(1,“204 08”,“204 08”,“20408”,0),(1,“204 16”,“204 16”,“20416”,0),(1,“204 08”,“204 08”,“20408”,8),(1,“204 04”,“204 04”,“20404”,9),(0,1,2,3,4),(0,1,2)

      t-Mobile is available (20416), but never connects.
      Forcing using AT+COPS=1,2,“20416” -> +CME ERROR: no network service
      Remarkable: the Vodaphone (20404) is 2x in the list with NetAct 0 and 9 (=NB support ?)
      Any idea what is wrong? - registration of the Sim went wrong or bad erea coverage indoor?

        Thanks for the personal reply today.
        As discussed, we’ve used the following set to access the T-Mobile NBIOT with the Sim700E:

        ATZ
        AT+CFUN=0
        AT+CNMP=38 // use LTE as preferred mode
        AT+CMNB=2 // use NBIOT as preferred selection
        AT+NBSC=0 // no Scrambling
        AT+CBANDCFG=“NB-IOT”,8 // Set NBIOT to band 8
        AT+CFUN=1
        AT+CREG=1

        This all results in OK

        Now we force to connect:
        AT+COPS=1,2,“20416”
        AT+CREG?

        This results continuous in : +CREG 0,3 : Registration Denied

        Q: Is the Device registration ok ? (Imei)
        I have registered the device twice, as I used by accident non-standard characters the first time for the Device Name
        Can you check plz ?

            By the way! Did you try it with our without scrambling? Scrambling should be switched off.

            AT+NCONFIG=CR_0354_0338_SCRAMBLING,FALSE

              Scrambling is off - correct.

              AT+NCONFIG=CR_0354_0338_SCRAMBLING,FALSE -> is AT command for uBlox
              AT+NBSC=0 -> AT command for Simcom

              I wait for your confirmation that my Imei registration is checked and correct.

                We’ve booked some progress possibly.
                Above sequence ends in a denied registration on the network.
                however:
                AT+CGREG?
                +CREG:0,5 -> we’re on Roaming

                AT+COPS?
                +COPS:0,2,“20416"”,9 -> we are on T-Mobile network, and on the NBIOT band

                Setting your APN:
                AT+CGDCONT=1,“IP”,“oceanconnect.t-mobile.nl”
                We receive IP adress.

                From here, we cant send any data as sim7000E does not support CoAp.
                So we need UDP direct to be supported :)

                FYI: the new Sim7020 will have CoAp support planned, available in May-June

                  The new t-mobile APN should resolve this problem. It will support UDP and add lot more supported hardware to the list, including SIMCOM modems :)
