FONA feather: "Network status 3: Denied"

Post by jld »

I'm working on a project with FONA feather, and I am often getting this network status when I boot up my FONA.

I have called the network provider (Ting) and they say everything is fine on my account. Then I also tried with T-Mobile sim and I have the same problems, so I don't think the issue is on the provider's end.

I have used the FONA successfully, so the issue seems to be somewhat nondeterministic.

Any advice about why this might be happening and what I can do to limit it would be appreciated. Googling around a little indicated that the antenna connection could cause this. Also some people have talked about having the wrong band settings set.

When it says Network Status: denied, and I read the RSSI, I get values between 7 and 10, so it seems I have service.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Also having weird behavior when I am connected to the network.

Here, I call out to my other phone, it tries, and then just stops.

Code: Select all

FONA> i
	---> AT+CSQ
	<--- +CSQ: 6,0
RSSI = 8: -98 dBm
FONA> n
	---> AT+CREG?
	<--- +CREG: 0,1
Network status 1: Registered (home)
FONA> 
+STTONE: 0
c
Call #
Calling 2125551212 //
	---> ATD2125551212;
	<--- OK
Sent!
FONA> A
	---> AT+CPAS
	<--- +CPAS: 4
Ringing/in progress (outgoing)
FONA> A

Not sure how much I can help as I run a Fona 3g. but here goes.

How do you have the feather setup, i.e. wired up, photos would be cool.

Also what's the battery status indicate when you are doing your testing?
