 I am currently testing the nRF9160-DK board with a M2M SIM from the provider &amp;quot;Things Mobile&amp;quot; (iBasis does not offer his services in Italy). 
 
 Issue: 
 the LTE indicator in LTE Link Monitor does not turn green (all other indicators do</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Mon, 04 Oct 2021 13:34:58 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/80052/nrf9160-dk-not-connecting-to-lte-m-and-nb-iot-network-italy-things-mobile" /><item><title>RE: nRF9160-DK not connecting to LTE-M and NB-IoT network (Italy, Things Mobile)</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/332374?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 04 Oct 2021 13:34:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:9c15cc80-243f-4e25-9ece-f516006c6a7a</guid><dc:creator>DCL</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Just a brief update for all Nordic users from Italy: i purchased a SIM from 1NCE.

Despite their marketing, they are not offering such kind of service. They even list the nRF9160 as a supported device which may be true, but not in Italy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The provider customer support finally answered me that they do not offer any kind of NB-IoT or LTE-M coverage. For sake of completeness i will quote here their answer in Italian: &amp;quot;Ti informo che attualmente offriamo copertura in 2G, GPRS, 3G e 4G. Stimiamo di offrire il servizio in CAT-1, CAT-M1 e NB-IoT entro il 2021, essendo queste tecnologie in via di sviluppo.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I feel sorry for everyone that lost time in purchasing and testing like me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
