Define how to connect to NB-IoT on Three network in Hong Kong

Hi,

I am now in Hong Kong, and trying to connect to NB-IoT network here. There are 2 providers of NB-IoT in Hong Kong: "CMHK" and "Three". They provide NB-IoT since 2017 in the region.

I have a 4.5G sim card on Three for my smartphone: so I plugged it into the nRF9160-DK (with at_client firmware, after a nrfjprog -e, and a clean build and flash), and run LTE Link Monitor.

4.5G is supposed to offer NB-IoT as well as regular LTE, and functionalities of 5G.

I get the following AT+CFUN?

Do you see what I need to modify?

When I modify AT+CGDCONT as follows, PDN becomes Green, when LTE still blinks Yellow/Red

Is there another setup I am missing, with the AT instructions, to enable the LTE-M or NB-IoT?
