Anyone used GPy w/ Verizon Thingspace in US?
-
I have a Verizon MTM sim to use with the GPy via their Thingspace portal. So far I haven't even made it past the activation step; it always fails. A verizon rep is working with me on the problem but it's been a few days and they haven't figured it out yet (not front line tech support, it's a pretty knowlegable person).
So has anyone done this yet with any success? Trying to figure out if I should try a different carrier.
The sim type appears to be M2MTCSIM-TRI-NR-D and I'm based in the US. Thanks for any info!

Quick update: Activation finally went through after they fixed something on their end. Next up is to see if it actually works...

For future reference (if anyone else wants to try thingspace): It works. I was able to do the simple GET request over a socket and get back some bytes.
Here's another question though: If it's working, is there any reason I should upgrade the modem firmware? I've already upgraded the GPy to the latest but it looks like there's a newer modem firmware as well:
>>> import sqnsupgrade >>> sqnsupgrade.info() <<< Welcome to the SQN3330 firmware updater [1.2.6] >>> >>> GPy with firmware version 1.20.2.rc6 Your modem is in application mode. Here is the current version: UE5.0.0.0d LR5.1.1.0-39529 IMEI: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXThe version on pycoms sequans page is currently 41065.
Any recommendations? Would i just be asking for trouble by updating it? Thanks...
