LTE CAT M1/NB-IoT Shield Fail to Find operator Berlin Germany

I am not successful in connecting 2 LTE CAT M1/NB-IoT Shield to a working operator using a Hologram SIM in Berlin Germany

Verified the SIM is active, I sent and received SMS using the SIM in a mobile device

The message in Arduino Serial is

“Did not find an operator. Double Check SIM and antenna, reset and try again or try another network”

have tried reset

Hello, and thanks for your post!

It sounds like you might be in a poor reception area where the shield has difficulty getting a cell signal. You might try a different location or going outside to see if you get a signal there. The antenna on the shield is OK but not great at getting a signal in a weak signal area.

Another option would be to try an external antenna.

I have the same Problem.

Iam using the Sparkfun LTE-module with Arduino Uno and the SparkFun_LTE_Shield_Arduino_Library > 00_Register_Operator.

I also get the message:

“Did not find an operator. Double Check SIM and antenna, reset and try again or try another network”

Did you found a answer?
