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 Gaétan 

Which network does your device connect to?

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

Can you provide additional details? What have you tried and which result have you got?

I have make test with AT%XMONITOR , AT+COPS? and AT%XOPNAME=1

each command give same result:

  * if connected in NB-IOT mode -> NO operator name

  * if connected in LTE-M mode -> operatro name is OK

// LTE-M -> %XMONITOR: 5, "Orange F","Orange F","20801","9B80",7,20,"015E8A05",79,6400,39,23,"","11100000","11100000","01001001"
// NBIOT -> %XMONITOR: 5,"","",   "20820","C423",9,20,"0938F1D7",434,6190,44,32,"","11100000","11100000","01001001"

I use nrf9160 nrf9160_1.3.4 witch SLM 2.4.3

Hi,

Can you try to use %XOPERID?
You should get operator ID in response.

Hi,

In which country have you performed your test?

Which network operator have you used?

Do you have roaming SIM?

Do you have any other SIM (possibly NB-IoT specific SIM) which you could use for testing?

By the way, my modem fw version is 1.3.5, and the SDK version is ncs2.3.0

Do you use modem firmware version 1.3.4 or 1.3.5?
