I’m trying to use a 3rd party sim in my Boron - I can see data being used on my 3rd party sim (web app data consumption), and my device using a different ICCID number than with the default, per particle identify when connected via usb/serial. But when I ‘deactivate’ that Boron’s SIM card in the Par…

Are you using the Boron LTE or the 3G Boron? Where are you located? I have been having one heck of a time trying to get any of my Borons to work with a 3rd party sim card. I am using the Boron LTE. Here is the thread of my problems and troubleshooting. Having an impossible time setting up LTE Bor…

Also, you did set up the 3rd party sim? [image] Setting up a Boron with a 3rd-party SIM card Tutorials Updates to this post will be in the documentation . For the Boron 2G/3G most nano SIM cards are compatible. For the Boron LTE, support for LTE Cat M1 is required. This i…

Yep - I initially had 0.8.8-rc.27, then went to 9. I was able to send blink input, and was able to signal it from the web ide. I had the device breathing cyan, configured with my 3rd party SIM, and data flowing (per google fi) but since ‘deactivating the particle sim’, that’s stopped working.

I’ve got the LTE version and I’m using a Google Fi data sim - which works over TMobile for the most part. Is that a no go?

I would be curious if the Boron was actually running on the 3rd party sim as TMobile doesn’t have catm1 and only uses cat 1.

@rickkas7 elaborated on my other post [image] Can not connect Boron with 3rd party sim LTE Cat M1 devices cannot connect to Cat 1 towers. The tower must specifically support LTE Cat M1 in order to be able to connect. In some cases, a different SIM may be required as well, but in some cases a si…

I didn’t think the Boron LTE would work with Google Fi, but it did. I was about to call it as not working but after a few minutes it connected and it’s now happily breathing cyan. I used this firmware, which is Tinker with the APN setting: #include "Particle.h" #include "dct.h" SYSTEM_MODE(SEMI_…

Awesome! A couple of follow up: -What firmware version were you using? -And did you ‘deactivate the sim’ on the particle (in the console)?

I tested with Device OS 0.9.0. I did not deactivate the built-in Particle SIM from the console, however I did check the ICCID that was reported when the cloud connection was made and it was the Google Fi SIM, not the Particle SIM. It should be fine to deactivate the Particle SIM, I just didn’t do i…
