Network selection & network coverage
Control the networks your devices can connect to.
Can Onomondo offer reliable connectivity in country X?You can find information on all supported networks and technologies on our Coverage Page.
Do SIMs have any priority order of networks based on signal strength?No. The SIMs are non-steered and it's up to the device to choose the first network with strong enough signal.
How does the Network List function during connection sequence?Understand the role of Network Lists during the network selection process.
Does network X support NITZ (Network Identity and Time Zone)?Onomondo does not have information on which specific networks support NITZ.
Why can I not connect to NB-IoT and/or LTE-M network(s)?Check if the network operator supports NB-IoT and/or LTE-M connections.
Can I see which frequency band(s) my device connects through?No, this is not visible in Signaling Logs.
What coverage can I expect from my location?It depends on multiple factors
Why is network X not available in country Y?Availability of networks depends on commercial agreements and your subscription type. Check our Coverage Page for details.
What does "Validated" mean for LTE-M or NB-IoT on Onomondo's Coverage Page?You can use these technologies on these networks. We have proof that these technologies are accessible and functional. There are limits.
Why is there no data in Cell Tower Location Information?Cell Tower information is provided when captured in signalling. Location is retrieved and limited to data of external geo-location services.
Do Onomondo SIMs support satellite / non-terrestrial networks?No. Our coverage is fully based on terrestrial MNOs.
Is it possible to use MCELL for location and not SCELL?No. Onomondo displays only the last cell the device attached to.
Where can I see if a network supports PSM or eDRX?Check the Onomondo Coverage Page for details.
How can I steer the connection to a single operator?Although generally not advised, you can do this in Network Lists or by setting a user-preferred PLMN list on the modem.
