        Wondering whether anyone’s used the new LTEBee modem with a Verizon SIM. If so, what APN did you use? So far, I’ve tried “-” and “vzwinternet”, which worked with th

          Hmm, so maybe no one has tried Verizon with the new modem yet. SIMCom claims that chip supports Verizon, but (suspiciously?) they don’t have a Verizon Certification document available for downlo

            These modules are new enough that I think everyone who has bought one so far is using the same Hologram SIM cards that we use in all of ours.  I’ve deployed over 50 of them in the past couple m

              Ok, that’s very interesting. It sounds like the LTEBee with a Hologram SIM has been using what it sees as the ‘best’ carrier for a given connection. The Digi modems would never do th

                FWIW, I asked SIMCom about their Verizon certification, and this is their reply:

                We are in the process of getting the certification.  All testing has been completed and we are just needin

                  The SIMCom 7080G modem chip upon which the EnviroDIY LTE Bee is built did not have Verizon certification until early August. Once they notified me, I asked SIMCom support what APN setting to use for V

                    @mbarney, thanks for the settings.   What was the sim supplier that you used – a Verizon direct, or an MNVO like REVX.

                    I did get an email earlier this week from SimCom that there 7080G was no

                      Hi @neilh20, I believe the SIM we used was a RevX.

                        @mbarney, do you know if the REVX plan/sim card you had success with is the CATM version (50mb for $5) or the 4G version (10 mb for &12)? With the new modems I have not been able to register on th

                              @shicks, has anyone from Stroud contacted Verizon about this? I am also hitting a wall with adding the LTEBee modem to our Verizon account. The rep from Verizon that we work with is willing to speak w

                              @jamesbailey I’ll check with my colleague to find out exactly which SIM he used for the test; he’s in the field for a few days. My test code is based on https://github.com/EnviroDIY/Modula

                                I’ve confirmed that the Verizon SIM we used was this one, from NimbeLink:

                                  Hello @mbarney,  or @dan-wachusett  I’m looking to try the LTE BEE – just wondering if you have used the RevX Verizon CAT-M sims.

                                      I ordered my Verizon SIMs through a company called Simetry and have used them successfully with the Digi XBee modem (XB3-C-A2). Unfortunately, I have had these modems fail as well, but for u

                                          Hello Dan, thanks for the info. I’m using RevX from Digikey “,”1998-251-ND”,”VERIZON SIM TRIPLE FF CAT-M” with XB3-CA-2/XB3M1

                                        I think I found the answer by emailing support@rexV, since I got it from amazon.com Mar.2022 it wasn’t certified for Verizon.
