nRF9160 operating on Verizon network

[Lee]

Hello, I'm attempting to establish a data connection on the VZW network after uploading a VZW IMEI to the ODI portal. It appears there is no module available under the Nordic Manufacturer drop down menu. How do the Nordic Module become active on the VZW network to evaluate, before the modules are pre approved with VZW. 

Otherwise at what stage of development from Nordic are customer able to use the modules on the VZW network for evaluation?

Thanks,

I have asked about this internally & will get back to you soon. Since there are a lot of people on vacation, it may take a bit more time for you to receive a response. Sorry about any inconvenience caused! Have you tried talking to Verizon directly?

Have you talked to your local Regional Sales Manager about this? They may be able to help you regarding this. If you do not know who your RSM is, you can send me a PM on DevZone referring to this case & I can put you in touch.

From what I understand, you just need to register your SIM card & then you can use an nRF91 DK as a "module" on the Verizon net. Your RSM should be able to give you a better timeline on the certification process for Verizon & when any modules will be available on the Nordic Manufacturer drop down menu.

The IMEI's have been in a status of "Pending Approval" for a week now, and no progress has been made from Verizon, or when we reached out to the RSM.

Has this case been solved or do you still need any more help? I have contacted  your RSM to discuss this issue.
