Mobile network time and date NRF9160

[PSA]

Hi guys,

I am trying to get Mobile network time and date using the NRF9160-DK 0.9.0 with the supplied iBasis sim card (in Switzerland)

For this purpose I have executed the following functions

int ret = modem_info_init();
char buffer[128] = {0};
ret = modem_info_string_get(MODEM_INFO_DATE_TIME, buffer, 128);

i get for modem_info_init() the return value 0
and for modem_info_string_get(MODEM_INFO_DATE_TIME, buffer, 128) the return value -22

(I also tested other information like MODEM_INFO_CUR_BAND, MODEM_INFO_AREA_CODE, MODEM_INFO_FW_VERSION, MODEM_INFO_IMEI, MODEM_INFO_IP_ADDRESS
Here I get valid response in the char buffer)

I also tried to use the AT Client application:

After I am connected to a network sending the AT command AT+CCLK? i receive Error: AT+CCLK? failed: phone failure

Hello, 

Can you tell me what modem version you are running on your board? And what NCS version are you using? 

Kind regards,
Øyvind

MODEM_INFO_FW_VERSION:     mfw-m1_nrf9160_0.6.8-131.alpha

I guess ncs is the SDK -> 1.3.0

You are running a very old version of the modem FW. Can you please update the modem following this guide?
