iBasis eSIM coming with nRF9160 dev kit is global SIM?

[Ethan]

I activated it and confirmed the network connection in US. Now I brought it to Thailand to test our device, but I could not get the network connection. Can I use a SIM provided by local carrier for nRF9160? or is there anything I can try to get a network connection other than above?

Hi!

The iBasis coverage map shows that it has national coverage in Thailand. Could you describe what you did to establish a connection?

 

Can I use a SIM provided by local carrier for nRF9160?

 Yes, you can use a local carrier, provided the SIM has support for either NB-IoT or LTE-M. 

Best regards,
