No connectivity (Belgium)

[guyd]

Hi,

I already tried connecting my nRF9160 (in July) without success. I'm trying again but still no luck. If I'm right Orange has LTE-M already rolled-out in Belgium?

Anyone an idea why my board doesn't connect? I followed the Getting Started procedurehttps://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Kits/nRF9160-DK/GetStarted#infotabs

Thanks.

When trying with an Orange SIM everything seems to work =LED3 and 4 blink. So, obviously the problem is with the iBasis eSIM. Can I just enter my Orange SIM card info in nrfcloud platform?

iBasis has limited LTE-M coverage in Belgium, only covering Brussels and Antwerpen, see https://ibasis.com/solutions/iot-connectivity/network-coverage/.

The nRF Cloud platform only supports activation of iBasis SIM cards, but since you already have a working Orange SIM then you can just skip the activation step

When following this procedure I get this (I have a board with no PIN):

I slide the respective switches and press the respective buttons, nothing happens... I don't see the device in the LTE-M list appearing?!

Thanks.

Now, I also get LED 3 & 4 blinking with the iBasis eSIM, but I can't  pair the nRF9160 DK!?

Any idea why I can't pair my device not with my Orange SIM nor with the iBasis eSIM? Better title now would be: No pairing instead of no connectivity!

Thanks.

Someone can help me please? Thanks.
