Roaming SIM card does not get APN and internet connection

Roaming SIM card does not get APN and internet connection

Hi together, 

I have a setup where I want to use a M2M simcard from Telefonica issued in Germany. I have verified with a technician from Telefonica that the MCC/MNC's (262 | 03, 07,77) and the APN (iotde.telefonica.com) are correct and have configured oFono to use those and the network registartion props show that 262 | 03 seems to be actually used. However, the IMSI shows that the SIM card has the MCC and MNC registered for Movistar (Telefonica) Spain (214 | 07). 

The problem is that the ConnectionContext does not seem to be able to get or register the correct APN and the device is not able to get connection. I have appended some printouts of the different properties.

Does anyone has an idea if I need to configure something additionaly or how to fix this problem?

Your debug output makes me think you are using a kerlink board. Am I right?

If this is the case, your APN is badly configured. Please send
/etc/network/ofono/provisioning file, I'll have a look. Meanwhile, if
you have modified this file, you can try "/etc/init.d/ofono reset" to be
sure to use the latest version of this file.

Thanks for the quick response. Yes that is correct. I'm using a Kerlink iStation. I have configured the provisioning file by adding the MCC/MNC and the APN as shown below. This setup with adjusted parameters works for different providers without any problem but I might have forgotten something here. I also rebooting, reseting, removing the SIM-specific folders and so on to make sure I used the latest file but it hasn't helped.

Best regards

[operator:262,03]
internet.AccessPointName=iotde.telefonica.com

# it's actually 05 and not 07 as mentioned in my first post
[operator:262,05]
internet.AccessPointName=iotde.telefonica.com

[operator:262,77]
internet.AccessPointName=iotde.telefonica.com

Hi,

In provisioning file, you should use SIM card MCC/MNC and not MCC/MNC of
network operator.

Your SIM card MCC/MNC is 214,07. In provisionning file, you need:

[operator:214,07]
internet.AccessPointName=iotde.telefonica.com

As you already did, after modifying provisioning file, do
/etc/init.d/ofono reset to remove SIM-specific folders.

Best Regards,
Christophe
