https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/82590/using-the-sms-to-configure-the-iot-deviceHello Nordic great team, We have a question please, we would like to configure our IOT device through the air, and the best way as we see in our use case, is to use the SMS. We would like to send an SMS to the targeted device to change some parametersen-USTelligent Community 13Wed, 15 Dec 2021 12:51:45 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/343641?ContentTypeID=1Wed, 15 Dec 2021 12:51:45 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:3719f9f0-b751-4b2b-b3cf-7f6d9afc006d&#216;yvind<p>The nRF9160 does not support 2G GSM or GPRS.

Have a look at the <a href="https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/1.7.1/nrf/samples/nrf9160/sms/README.html">SMS sample in&nbsp;nRF Connect SDK tag&nbsp;1.7.1</a>.&nbsp;Note that you need a IoT SIM that support SMS as well, the iBasis SIM does not support this.</p> <p>Kind regards,<br />Øyvind</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
