Thingy:91 not connecting to Nb-IoT network with multicell location sample

[croman]

Hello,

I'm trying to evaluate the Thingy:91 on Nb-IoT networks. I'm currently in the Philadelphia suburbs. I'm using the iBasis SIM card which was packaged with the device, and have been able to connect to LTE-M networks using the following prf.conf:

# LTE link control

CONFIG_LTE_LINK_CONTROL=y

CONFIG_LTE_NETWORK_MODE_LTE_M=y

CONFIG_LTE_AUTO_INIT_AND_CONNECT=n

However, when I switch to the following LTE link configuration:

CONFIG_LTE_LINK_CONTROL=y

CONFIG_LTE_NETWORK_MODE_NBIOT=y

CONFIG_LTE_AUTO_INIT_AND_CONNECT=n

the multicell location sample doesn't work. My question is: Do I need an Nb-IoT SIM card for this work? The assert tracker v2 Nb-IoT version doesn't work either.

Thanks!

Hello, 

Yes, the iBasis SIM card does not support NB-IoT in the US. Please contact your local NB-IoT network provider for an IoT SIM card that supports NB-IoT.

Kind regards,
