      Check out the datasheet here, I assume one of the bands will be supported in Canada. Which Canadian cellular carrier are you trying to use?

        This page seems to have good information: https://www.signalbooster.com/pages/what-are-4g-lte-frequencies-bands-of-telus-rogers-bell

          VOXL-ACC-LTEH-7610 seems like it should work on each of those carriers

              Should I be worried that the US carrier does not cover B7 band?

                  Have you followed the instructions? https://docs.modalai.com/lte-v2-modem-manual/

                  Also, you will need to know the APN for your carrier and set it properly. You can look at the voxl-modem source code for how to set the APN

                    Yes I followed the instructions. Yes I know the apn carrier of my provider. I used before. Also my wifi set up is on does it matter?

                      This is the apn I used: just type ltemobile.apn
                      When it ask for it in the configuration.

                        @Aldo-Castro-Freire Can you post the outputs of both systemctl status -l voxl-modem and ifconfig

                              Have you tested this SIM card previously? With another phone perhaps to determine that it is activated correctly?

                                Antoher thing to try is to disable the modem startup script using systemctl disable voxl-modem and then rebooting your voxl. After you reboot, ADB back in and run voxl-modem-start.sh. This should allow you to see the script's entire output.

                                  okay that worked, one more question for the openVPN I am new to yocto linux, how do I know if the daemon was able to connect to the openVPN server, my IP still the same.

                                    OpenVPN will usually create a new network interface, similar to tun or tun0 and should route traffic through there. If you run ifconfig you will see a list of network interfaces. You will also need to make sure that OpenVPN is starting after you have connected to the internet as it will most likely fail to connect to the VPN and not retry with default settings.

                                        @Aldo-Castro-Freire thanks for the feedback, do you mind sharing the openVPN Client and Server versions you ended up using that worked?

                                        We've tested using server v2.4.8, voxl-vpn (v2.1.3 inside that), and OpenVPN Connect ver 3.2.2 on Adroid.
