Communication using Sierra wireless smartSIM

[GiulianoFranchetto]

Hi,

We tried to use a smartSIM from Sierra Wireless with the nrf9160DK without success.

The nrf91 can connect to the LTE network after a few minutes (LED4 steady). However, after switching switch1, the LED4 turns off, and LED3 starts blinking.

The message is not received on nrf cloud.

Is it possible to use a Sierra smartSIM with the nrf9160? If so, could you please give me instructions?

Regards

Are you sure the SIM is correctly and fully configured / enabled / provisioned for whatever you're trying to do?

Does the SIM work in another device?

The SIM is indeed enabled and provisionned.

When I added the new device on nrf cloud, I was expecting the board to have both LED3 and LED4 blinking to start the paring process. However, after a few minutes, the LED3 turned off and the LED4 was ON, meanning that the board was connected, but the pairing process never happened.

I don't know if this can be the cause of messages not reaching nrf cloud, or there is a limitation in the nrf cloud program to only accept iBasis SIM card.

Maybe a nordic guy can advise.
