Add LTE Device takes too long

[Duy]

Dear Nordic Support,

I just got my Thingy:91 and I followed your Getting started guide. I registered the SIM card successfully but whenever I reached this step, it always tells me to keep waiting.

I leave in Vietnam. Can you help me with this issue?

Thank you and best regards,

Hello anh Hung,

Where do you locate ? Sai gon ? 

=> Yes, I am testing in Sai Gon

I assume that you were using the iBasis SIM card that included in the Thingy91 Kit ? 

=> Yes, i am using the iBasis SIM and it was my mistake to check the wrong section of the iBasis website. Thank you for guiding me to the right section.

I think you would need to find a local 5G SIM to test. 
As far as I know Viettel started to support NB-IOT in Vietnam. You may want to contact them to get a test SIM card. But I heard that they have very little coverage. 

=> We haven't got the 5G SIM yet. I heard that the normal SIM card is OK but you have to sit very very near the station.

Also thanks again for your information. Too bad that I cannot play around with the nRF91 in Vietnam. Do you have any suggestions about playing with it for now? 

Thank you and best regards,

Hi anh Hung,

Thank you for your information again. I am so eager to hear about Nordic Seminar. I hope Nordic Semi will update more information soon.

Best regards,

Hi Hung,

Now, Viettel has commpleted the contructions of NB-IOT stations in Hochiminh, do you have a demo code for NB-IOT?

[Duy]

Phuocyou can use any demo of Nordic.

Inside proj.conf you enable: 

NBIOT=y

LTE=n

AT%XMODE=0,1,0,0 

Then flash again and you can have NB-IoT run in your nRF9160. Or you can read this as anh Hung recommended.
