How can I obtain the name of the operator? Full name or short name

[duxinglang]

I am using nRF9160 to develop a product for a client that requires displaying the name of the current carrier on the screen. According to the AT instruction manual of the modem, I can obtain modem related information through XMONITOR, which includes the full and short names. However, the actual returned result is empty, like this:

XMONITOR: 1,"","","46000","1D29",9,8,"0D1E2D42",11,3684,70,39,"","00000101","00000111","00111110"

Does this instruction require the cooperation of the operator? By the way, my modem fw version is 1.3.5, and the SDK version is ncs2.3.0

Hi,

There is another command which can be used for getting full operator name - AT%XOPNAME. You can try to use this command to subscribe to operator name notifications. What is the result of using this AT command?

Hi,

Which board do you use?
Which application is running on your board?
Which SIM card do you use?

Hi,

Which application is running on your board?

Do you have any other SIMs (apart from China Mobile) to try out?

Does your device respond to any AT command?

Can you test AT commands using AT client sample? What is the result?

Best regards,
Dejan

I'm having the same problem...

with LTE-M all is OK,

but with NbIOT it's impossible to get the operator's name!

Hi Gaétan
