RE: Thingy:91 FAQ

Dear Peter Rand
I have tried the thingy:91 with iBasis SIM card
1. Used the new FW ncs_v1.0.0
2. Updated the certificate to connect to the nrfcloud
3. Flash the thingy91_ltem_v0.2.2.hex( PR 943)
4. And put the thingy:91 outside to test
It connected to LTE and the nrfcloud but couldn't get the position from GPS:

The report said: PSM enabled
This is a "fake report", iBasis does NOT work with PSM mode in my place( Norway), so GPS couldn't start.
I changed to Telenor sim card, it works. It took me many days :(. You should mention this problem in your document.
