Please make sure your SIM card:is an IoT SIM cardsupports 4G LTE (not 2G/3G/5G only) & LTE CAT-1Many standard consumer SIM cards restrict usage in embedded or IoT devices, which may prevent the device from connecting to the network. If your SIM card is not specifically designed for IoT use, the connection may fail.2. Activate the SIM Card and Remove PIN LockSome IoT SIM cards must be activated first using a smartphone before they can be used in embedded devices.
