Force operator

[edge7]

[ ] I have read the Troubleshooting section of the ReadMe

What type of issues is this?

Question or request for help

What are you working with?

Modem: SIM7000G Main processor board: ESP32 TinyGSM version: 0.11.4

Scenario, steps to reproduce

Hi, am using a sim that has a virtual network, so it relies on some physical operators. Do you know how can I try to force the registration with a particular one? (Vodafone).

I solved with: ("AT+COPS=1,2,\"22210\"") where 22210 is the concatenation of the operator MCC and MNC to which one wants to connect.

Would you please provide more information on this?

Where/when do you call this? Is there a way to also include information about the band?

E.g. MCC=302, MNC=610, band=5

Would you please share a code snippet?

I use it to get it connected. Full example: ` bool connectToGPRS(){

ifdef TINY_GSM_MODEM_SIM7000

modem.setNetworkMode(38);
delay(100);
modem.setPreferredMode(2);
SerialAT.println("AT+COPS=1,2,\"22210\"");     //Get connection type and band
delay(5500);
if (SerialAT.available()) {
  Serial.println("Response");
  String r = SerialAT.readString();
  Serial.println(r);
} else{
  Serial.println("No response");
}

endif

bool toReturn = false; for( char i=0; i < 5; i++){ if (!modem.waitForNetwork()) { SerialMon.println(" failed to Wait For Netowrk");

  delay(10000);
  continue;
}
SerialMon.println(" success to connect to Netowrk");

if (modem.isNetworkConnected()) { SerialMon.println("Network connected"); 

} else continue;

bool res=true;

do { res = modem.setNetworkMode(38); Serial.println(res); delay(500); } while (!res); Serial.println("OK LTE"); do { res = modem.setPreferredMode(2); Serial.println(res); delay(500); } while (!res); Serial.println("OK NBIOT"); SerialMon.print(("Connecting to ")); SerialMon.print(apn); if (!modem.gprsConnect(apn, gprsUser, gprsPass)) { SerialMon.println(" fail to connect to APN"); delay(10000); continue; }

SerialMon.println(" success to connect to APN");

if (modem.isGprsConnected()) { SerialMon.println("GPRS connected"); toReturn= true;

break;} else{ Serial.println("Not connected"); } } String ccid = modem.getSimCCID(); Serial.println("CCID: " + ccid);

String imei = modem.getIMEI(); Serial.println("IMEI: " + imei);

String cop = modem.getOperator(); Serial.println("Operator: " + cop);

IPAddress local = modem.localIP(); Serial.println("Local IP: " + String(local));

int csq = modem.getSignalQuality(); Serial.println("Signal quality: " + String(csq));

ifdef TINY_GSM_MODEM_SIM7000

SerialAT.println("AT+CPSI?"); //Get connection type and band delay(500); if (SerialAT.available()) { String r = SerialAT.readString(); Serial.println(r); }

endif

return toReturn; } `
