Yes, this is still true. Only iBasis SIM cards can be managed (activated, check of data balance) on nRF cloud and associated with devices. However this association is purely a function for the user interface, an iBasis SIM that has been associated on nRF Cloud with a device can be used with any other device regardless.

Other IoT SIM cards will from certified mobile network operators will work with the nRF9160 regardless of them beeing added to nRF Cloud.

If it's a regular SIM for a smart phone, you can't use it. IoT SIMs are different, and Telia has an offering here.

Hi Tom

Can you please create a new ticket with your question(s) please. This case is more than 2 years old, and I don't personally have an updated overview of how other SIM cards should be used. If you do, an engineer with more experience on this than me will be assigned to it, and be able to help you get going.

Feel free to link to this case in your new ticket if you feel it's relevant.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi,

Is this still true? If so, can someone explain what you mean with:
"you'll have to register other SIM cards on their respective web sites, and then connect the LTE device"

Could I use my private SIM card from Telia (Sweden). I guess it is already registered?

In the end once the SIM card is registered at the operator, will things run as normal in nRF cloud? So I can continue your starting guides?

Best regards,
Tom Karlsson

I'm sorry, but it's not possible to register other SIM cards to nRFCloud I'm afraid, you'll have to register other SIM cards on their respective web sites, and then connect the LTE device (nRF9160DK or Thingy:91) to nRFCloud.

Best regards,

Simon
