nB-IoT Sim card UK

[Luke_123]

Hi all,

We want to evaluate nRF9160. We want to start with nB-IoT and currently looking for a service provider in UK. Vodafone seems to be supporting nB-IoT, but information on their portal is limited.

Can we use a regular Vodafone sim card to use nB-IoT or Is there any special sim card for nB-IoT ? If not Vodafone, what are the other options available for nB-IoT in UK ?

GSMA | Mobile IoT Deployment Map | Internet of Things lists Vodafone only for NB-IoT. You may contact Arkessa, information at this link as they show support for NB-IoT.

Hi,

Usually, "normal" SIM cards does not give access to NB-IoT or LTE-M networks.

I recommend you contact our Regional Sales Manager in the UK, as she should have a better overview of the local situation than I have.

If you don't know how to contact your RSM, send me a private message, and I can give you the contact details.

Best regards,

Didrik
