Can not activate SIM

[KevinA]

There was an error submitting your user information. This SIM cannot be activated.

Again and again I get the same crap, I can't activate my nRF9160-DK without the SIM working and this excuse for a user interface will not accept my information.

It has taken all day to get here just to fail. I can not imagine provisioning having to be this complex.

Hello, 

I fully acknowledge the anger and disappointment of not being able to register and activate the SIM. Can you please add what error message you are receiving when it fails? Maybe I can help to clear the confusion. You are right, the provisioning part should not be this complicated. 

What SIM are you trying to activate? Can you please go through the steps that you have done?

Thank you! 

Kind regards,
Øyvind

The Error: There was an error submitting your user information. This SIM cannot be activated.

It appears you have to register the SIM that comes with the nRF9160-DK from iBASIS then on another page install the device information after the SIM has been registered.

Here is the error as an image:

I filled out the required information, the first time I used by PO BOX which causes problems with people do not understand rural living, when the process rejected my user information I deleted the SIM and closed the browser then started over using my street address, same error.

Can you guys please update the nice flow diagram above, with the new colors and functionalities in the latest FW? (RIght now there is only a text table... and several link to new docs are dead.

[Øyvind]

Hello, the updated information about the application  Asset Tracker, now in version 2 can be found in our nRF Connect SDK documentation. Unfortunately, the flow diagram has been removed. The LED indications are found under the User Interface module.

For nRF Cloud, the nRF Cloud error codes are found under nRF Cloud REST API, with documentation available under docs.nrfcloud.com.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Thank you Øyvind.

What is the meaning of Active/Passive modes, in that table?

Also it seem that that there is no indication for the connected state?

[Øyvind]

eabase , it is better to open a new ticket with your questions as these do not fit the title of the current ticket. Also, the ticket is fairly old and includes some outdated information as you have seen.

The active/passive modes are described under Application behavior and functionality --> Real-Time configurations.

Connected in what way? To LTE or to the cloud? 

[eabase]

Indication for connection to LTE.
