I have SIM800L module,

when I try AT+CSQ it returns 0,0

when I tried to remove the sim and try again it returns number, 0 (25,0)

and I cannot register to a network

so AT+CREG? returns 0,2

should I activate something or do another command before trying to do CSQ or either connect to a network..

when I try: AT+COPS=?

it lists all networks available, but cannot connect to any of them

thank you

I found the solution, it was from the power it takes. when the module is trying to connect to a network it consumes a lot of power, so I lower down the resistor.

now it is stable and connect smoothly.

try to check your module datasheet and check the power consumption

    Congratulation on realizing that power issues were to blame, as they often are for these. However a fixed "resistor" does not belong in the power supply circuitry of this module. If you are using one, you are taking a horribly mistaken approach. Even engineering a suitable *voltage regulator* is enough of a challenge that many projects just run these off the single cell they were designed to use in their original life as limited-feature mobile phones. – Chris Stratton Sep 29 '18 at 21:49
