Is there an easy way to determine if Notecard is seeing an external SIM?

We use a custom carrier board. I looking for a “fast” straightforward way to verify that the notecard is probably reading the external SIM. Is there an API command we can use or another method?

Right now, we sync with the Notehub and look at the tower_info in the JSON message. That works, but I would prefer a faster method of validating our custom carrier boards when we receive a batch from the manufacturer. Our last batch had issues with some of the SIM card holders.

Hi @Karl_iWell,

A card.wireless request should show you whether the Notecard can see an external SIM - e.g. if the iccid_external and imsi_external fields are present in the response:

> {"req":"card.wireless"}
{
 "apn": "super",
 "status": "{modem-on}",
 "mode": "auto",
 "net": {
  "iccid": "89011703278520619584",
  "iccid_external": "89883070000019476857",
  "imsi": "310170852068445",
  "imsi_external": "234103519026514",
  "imei": "864475041089699",
  "modem": "BG95M3LAR02A03_01.004.01.004"
 }
}
