Thanks for the feedback! I'm currently in contact with iBASIS.

I would also recommend checking with iBASIS.

You may check the current supported modem system mode with AT%XSYSTEMMODE?

Set the system mode using %XSYSTEMMODE and use <LTE_preference> to set the preferred network.

To configure the project you may use a variant of CONFIG_LTE_NETWORK_MODE.

Hello Koray, we are looking into this and will get back to you.

Generally, there must be a roaming contract between your SIM card provider and the MNOs. If iBASIS doesn't list them, then either the list needs to be updated, or you need to be very careful with such a connection.

ESM Error Code 50: type ipv4 only allowed (NRF91 Asset Tracker)

In some case (LTE base station rel. 13) a LTE-M modem may get connected to LTE instead of LTE-M. With an update of that base station, this may stop to work, if there was only a LTE but no LTE-M contract. So, if you just want to see, if it "works somehow", then a test is nice. If you want to know, if that works tomorrow as well, I guess you need to ask iBASIS.
