Can you specify which asian country you are operating in and the specific electron models tested? If these are sensitive information, you can reach out to Particle for a private discussion here: https://docs.particle.io/support/support-and-fulfillment/menu-base/

Hmm… You stated India… India: 900MHz and 1800Mhz US: 850MHz and 1900Mhz They are on different bands which is why the electron (US model) does not work as expected.

If you see the light green column (of GSM Table for India) 1900MHz is available with the wireless carrier (Airtel) that Particle Electron operates on.

Ah… The network that Particle’s partner is operating on in India is Barthi If you have a 3rd party SIM card from Airtel, you might be able to get on the 2100MHz band.

Barathi or Airtel is the same company!! I am using the SIM supplied by Particle.
