How to test Thingy-91 with NB-IoT/LTE-M in Poland?

[Pawel]

Hello,

I would like to evaluate nRF9160 for incoming project.

I have Nordic Thingy:91 with iBasis sim card.

Unfortunately, during configuration it turned out, that iBasis is not working in my country.

How can I use Nordic Thingy 91 with NB-IoT/LTE-M in Poland?

Can you recommend alternative for iBasis?

Hello,

Sorry to hear that it's not working for you. What error did you receive when connecting? Have you downloaded the firmware files (thingy91_fw_v0.2.3.zip) from the Thingy:91 Download Page? This file includes several pre-compiled firmware files (.hex) which you can flash to your device.'

Since Poland is NB-IoT, you should try to flash thingy91_nbiot_v0.2.2.hex or thingy91_nbiot_legacy_pco_v0.2.2.hex

Can you recommend alternative for iBasis?

  GSMA.com has a good overview of available networks.

Let me know how that works for you. 

Kind regards,
