Fipy LTE Won't Attach
-
Hey everyone!
I'm relatively new to Pycom and am currently developing some ADC -> I2C -> LTE-M devices on Fipy / Pybytes.
I'm using Telia in Norway and have ordered 50 LTE-M/NB-IoT sims that I'm having issues with.
Before ordering these SIMS I had been given a test LTE-M/NB-IoT sim that I'm having no issues with connecting using the https://docs.pycom.io/tutorials/networks/lte/ tutorial (works on Pybytes as well).
If I try any of the 50 Sims from Telia we received I can't attach at all to the network and am now stuck wondering if it's me or something with my sims specifically.
Any input how how to debug this further would be greatly appreciated!
Here's some logs from the sim that does connect:

Updates
I guess my sims aren't activated for LTE-M (they should be) but only NB-IoT. I upgraded my modem to NB1-41019 and it works now :)
