Hi,

I'm trying to get my module connected to a mobile network have everything plugged in correctly; Antenna functions correctly & sim is correctly slotted.

CPIN reports READY asfter +PBREADY

Then when i call +COPS=0 I always get an unknown error my CREG loops from 0 -> 2 -> 0 which mean it's tryng to connect failing and trying again. As far as i can tell everything is set up to work and it is not working.

I have tried 5 different sims 3 EE 1 Vodafone and 1 O2. I have seen one sim work once it had a signal is CSQ and CREG reported once i restarted the board and then it no longer worked. 

What am i missing here? 

AT^SMONI reports the below

^SMONI: 3G,1736,350,-9.0,-105,234,30,049D,0D12248,9,10,LIMSRV

^SMONI: 3G,SEARCH,SEARCH

CSQ always reports 99,99 although the only time i saw different was when CREG reported 1

AT+COPS=?

+COPS: (1,"EE","EE","23430",2),(1,"O2 - UK","O2 - UK","23410",2),(1,"3 UK","3 UK","23420",2)

Hi,

When you are in 3G modem can return 99,99 in AT+CSQ command because it is not applicable to 3G networks. Instead of it's recomended to use AT^SMONI. 

You could try to set only one preffered radio bands e.g in 3G: at^scfg="Radio/Band/3G","0x00000010" or "0x00000008" or "0x00000002" or in 4G: at^scfg="Radio/Band/4G","0x00000800" or "0x00000010"or "0x00000008" or "0x00000002". And then use AT+COPS=2 just in case to deregister and the AT+COPS=0 for automatic selection.

Can you check what is set up in AT^SXRAT? Or set manualy to AT^SXRAT=2 for 3G only.

Please check twice if your antena have good connection. 

You can manualy try to connect to network: AT+COPS=1,2,"23410" (from your AT+COPS=? response).

You can check for forbidden network:

at+crsm=176,28539,0,0,12

+CRSM: 144,0,"62F230FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF" //operator 26203 --> EPLUS is Forbidden on this SIM

Regards

Krzysztof
