Hi, i've read 3posts on this GSM Modem & i dont know why the answers havent been satisfactory.
Pls note that SAGL model supports GSM/GPRS & also Standard AT comands for sending & receiving SMS & i've been forced to write an app to even do so but i dont know why its not compatible with NOWSMS.

1)I noticed that for this modem it either connects Directly to d COM Port or u add a Standard 33600bps modem driver b4 u can get a Modem Successful notification.
2)Whenever i send an sms to it, it doesnt retrieve 4rm d modem & i've tried all d options in the SMS Message Storage. My 2way too is properly configured b/c if i remove the Enfora & put a Wavecom modem, it works perfectly.

I've attached d smsdebug.log so i can see what is going on.

Advising me to buy a Multitech or Wavecom wont help, i'ld love us to resolve this problem,

Hi,

Is the only problem that you cannot receive any SMS messages sent to the modem? (I want to make sure that I understand what the question is that you are asking about.)

I do not see anything in the SMSDEBUG.LOG.

But, the report from the AT+CNMI? command is somewhat interesting.

It looks like the modem is defaulting to what we call "Direct to Modem" in the "SMS Message Storage" settings. Yet, we do not appear to be seeing any messages coming in this way.

How about this ...

Open a connection to the COM port using HyperTerminal.

Issue some AT commands to verify that you are talking to the modem, and put it into PDU mode like NowSMS would by sending these commands:

AT+CSMS=0
AT+CMGF=0


Send an SMS to the modem. Does any indication show up on HyperTerminal to indicate a received message?

Does this change if you send the following command:

AT+CNMI=2,2,2,1,0

What results are there if you send the command AT+CMGL=0

I would expect NowSMS to see the "+CMT:" notification when you have the "SMS Message Storage" set to "Direct to Modem".

Can you generate another SMSDEBUG.LOG with that setting enabled?

And then while the debug log is enabled, send a message to the modem itself through NowSMS. (NowSMS sending to the modem itself.)

I'd like to see that log to see if it offers any clues, because your HyperTerminal tests certainly look like it should be working. Although there might be an extra CRLF causing a problem ... hmm ... I don't like that blank line that follows the +CMT: response. Can you confirm that this blank line is always there?

I have an Enfora GSM1218, and i want my clients to see my webpage name, instead of the phone number that originated the message. My clients are responding to the messages, and i don`t want that.
Is there an AT command to change it or do I have to contact the service provider to change my configuration.
Thanks in advance. CB

If you are sending SMS messages through a GSM modem, there is no way to change the sender address that goes out in the resulting SMS.

Basically, the protocol that is used does not have a field for the sender address. Instead the sender address is automatically applied by the operator SMSC when it accepts your SMS message for delivery.

(Your mobile operator could have a way to override this, but it is unlikely. I haven't heard of any mobile operators that allow you to override a GSM modem address with an alphanumeric sender. I have heard of one that allows you to override the sender phone number with a different phone number ... this solution was deployed for people who have both a mobile phone and a modem card, the idea was that for SMS messages sent with the modem card, the sender phone number should be that of the user's mobile phone instead of their modem card.)
