LTE-M and LTE NB-IoT not available in the UK?

[Hongtao]

Purchased nRF9160 DK, registered the iBasis SIM card online successfully, but can't connect the cellular network. Checked iBasis's website found the UK is not covered

https://www.gsma.com/iot/deployment-map/#deployments

So what can I do with the DK?

Hi,

You may have to use a different provider than iBasis, but I am not sure. Please contact our regional sales representative for your area. She would know what telecom companies operate there, and what are their plans for NB-IoT and LTE-M coverage. If you do not know who it is then please send a me private message or create a private ticket and ask, and we will let you know.

Hi I am getting "LTE link could not be established." and suspect I may have the same issue. Could you ping me with any details of LTE-M/ NB-IoT providers that you know of (preferably ones which play nicely with the Nordic:91) that cover London and other parts of the UK please?

Hi,

I see that you have already created a new thread for this (Unable to connect to LTE network: "LTE link could not be established."). Great! If there is very little information in an old thread, starting a new one where you describe your exact error condition is often better.

One of my colleagues is looking into that new thread.
