SIM8262E-M2 No Service!

[Peter0238]

Hi folks, I bought a SIM8262E-M2 (I’m based in Europe) with a 5G Hat, installed it on a RaspPi 4. All good so far.

Unfortunately, the modem doesn’t connect with my SIM Card, which is unlocked, no PIN needed or any other activation.

I send the following commands:

CODE: SELECT ALL

ATI
Manufacturer: SIMCOM INCORPORATED
Model: SIMCOM_SIM8262E-M2
Revision: V1.0.01
IMEI: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
+GCAP: +CGSM

AT+COPS?
+COPS: 0

AT+COPS=?
+COPS: (1,"WIND GR","WIND","20210",7),(3,"GR COSMOTE","C-OTE","20201",7),(3,"vodafone GR","voda GR","20205",7),,(0,1,2,3,4),(0,1,2)

AT+CREG?
+CREG: 0,2

As far as I know, 2 means “not registered, but ME is currently searching a new operator to register to”. The SIM Card is from Wind/NOVA (Greece).

How could I troubleshoot this? Any help/ideas all welcome!

Many thanks!

@Peter0238 how long have you waited. For a first registration you might require 30 minutes.

And reduce the number of frequency bands allowed could also speed up the registration
