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?

    Buy a T-Mobile prepaid starter for 5PLN and enjoy :)

    Note that T-Mobile provides only NB-IoT, not LTE-M.

    Thanks.
    I've bought it, then I've changed firmware to thingy91_nbiot_v0.2.2.bin, but still have some problems. 
    In nRF Connect Link Monitor LTE status is searching and cannot register. 
    How to make it work?

    You need to update your modem FW to version which is included in the package as well:

    The current version on your board (mfw_nrf9160_1.0.0) has had some issues fixed in the newest version (mfw_nrf9160_1.0.1)

    Download the nRF Connect for Desktop and install the Programmer app. In this, you can use the "update modem" button on the right-hand side.

    I guess the only way to do modem FW update is to use external programmer?
    There is no DFU via USB?

    There's a button in the programmer app. (On the right panel, bottom) - you don't need anything more.

    Seems that T-Mobile blocked the "internet" APN access from NB-IoT network...

    I have the same struggle here. You can contact T-Mobile for a private offer to get the IoT access... That's the only Network which has the infrastructure there...
