esim

[damianogiacomi]

Can you explain me what I need to do in order to have the esim ? Do I need a physical component ? I am new to this subject if someone can help me a little bit. Thanks

Hi Damian,

Please refer to the documentation about using eSIM on the nrf91 DK.

In short you can solder on an eSIm onto the socket shown in the figure:

This can be provided by your carrier if they support this.

Also I would recommend you to checkout this site regards information about the SIM solution.

Ok, I have am esim firm Telit, I have to register somehow the esim to use it for the nrfcloud ?

Hi Damian,

Typically you need to register your eSIM to connect to the cellular network in general. (This you must check out with Telit)

If it's already registered and you have soldered on the eSIM as well as following the instructions in my last post you should be able to connect to nrf cloud.

I now assume you are doing this on the nrf91 DK ? please correct me if this is not the case.

To see if you can connect to the cellular network, please refer to this Getting started guide about flashing the at_client sample with LTE Link Monitor.

If you use that in combination with LTE link monitor application provided in nrf Connect for desktop, you will be able to see which networks are in your area, connect to the network, as well as status for the modem etc. through AT-Commands.

Yes I am using the nrf91DK I have followed the instruction but with the lte link monitor I am not able to connect to lte even using the sim included. Each AT command is not working and is giving back timeout errors

Please confirm that you are running the at_client sample when using the LTE Link monitor as the Getting started guide suggest.

A quick tip could be to try the reset button on the nrf91 DK so you get the bootup in the terminal.

Then you follow it by sending the AT+CFUN? to the device.

Please attach the log/screenshot if you stumble upon any issues,

//Cheers
