nRF9160 - GSMA Database Suggests 2 IMEI

[Aadil Jaleel Choudhry]

Hi, 

GSMA Database suggests that nRF9160 has 2x IMEI, however I am only able to get one. Pakistan Telecommunication Authority is not allowing me to use the device till I provide the 2nd IMEI. Does nRF9160 have a 2nd IMEI? If so, how to get it?

If not, can someone from Nordic Update GSMA Database?

Hi Aadil,

what do you mean by using different TAC?

I was checking if you have an alternate nrf9160 that can be used.

Would it be possible to check with your Telecommunication Authority to still use the device stating that it is a typo.?

Will not all nRF91XX have same TAC? 

Not all the nrf91xx have the same TAC.. It is the first 8 digits of the IMEI and these are the list for TAC that we have now: 35265610, 35135881, 35091606, 35151617, 35378572, 35844717, 35974616, 35045779, 35190193, 35759987, 35354473, 35103492, 35597725, 35097665 among which 35151617 and 35091606 are the ones with the error..

Yes, it is not possible to change the TAC.

It might be possible to get the device if we can get a letter from Nordic stating the error and mentioning that this is being rectified with GSMA as well. Can that be done? 

We're getting devices from OEM with nRF91XX. We just imported samples yet and they're stuck due to this issue. I am not sure if supplier will be able to provide devices with other TACs but I will check
