Success Stories

NOTE: Prior to Feb 2020, connection with the SIM7000 using the Hologram SIM on the Verizon LTE CAT-M network in the US worked, but since then Verizon has stopped allowing devices that are not officially Verizon-certified onto their network.

For those of you who would like to know where the shield is tested to work, check this out! If you get it working and would like to share, please create a post on the Botletics community forum, and I can add it to the list! Also, if you would like to share a project you've done using this shield, please do share to be included in the running list of projects!

In an attempt to provide more detailed info, if you would like to contribute, please copy/paste, fill out, and email the following form to me so I can add it here:

Version: SIM7000A/C/E/G?
Country: Should be pretty clear
Name of SIM card: For example, "Hologram global SIM card"
Link to buy it: For example, https://hologram.io/iot-sim-card/
SIM card APN: For example, "hologram" or Auto (AT+CAPNMODE=0) and username/password if applicable
Connected Network: For example, "Verizon LTE CAT-M1 network, Band 13" or "Vodafone NB-IoT network". Use AT+CPSI? and AT+COPS? to check this.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

SIM7000A Version

United States: Works all over the United States with the Hologram SIM card on the AT&T and T-Mobile LTE CAT-M1 network. Also works with the AT&T Trio SIM card as well as the Freedom Pop and Straight Talk SIM cards (see this person who tested them) and the Thingsmobile SIM card. Note: As of July 2020, it seems that AT&T created two IoT plans: North America plan and international plan. Prior to February 2020 connection using the Hologram SIM on the Verizon LTE CAT-M network also worked, but since then they stopped allowing the devices onto their network.
Canada: Works on Telus and Bell's LTE CAT-M networks using their CAT-M SIM cards
I can't wait to test it on the T-Mobile NB-IoT network which should be launching soon!

SIM7000G Version

This version should work in any place where the SIM7000A/C/E versions operate, but let's document it anyway!

United States: Works great on AT&T and T-Mobile LTE CAT-M1 networks, just like SIM7000A. Also can connect to GSM!
Canada: Works on the Rogers LTE-M network in Vancouver with the Hologram SIM card. 2G also works.
