This error code indicates that the login is failing when making the GPRS connection. It is a timeout in the PPP negotiation.

One thing I notice in your settings it that in the settings for the GPRS APN, the login name is blank, and the password is *********. Try putting in mts for both login name and password.

I've been looking over your log files, and I noticed something a little unusual.

The following command appears several times in the log:

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","mms.mts.ru","0.0.0.0"

However, NowSMS is not sending this command.

The "0.0.0.0" part of the command may be causing a problem. Some modems might interpret this as a null value ... but others might interpret this as an instruction to request IP address 0.0.0.0 when making the connection. I can definitely see where this latter interpretation might lead to a connection error like you describe.

I'm guessing that you have configured this command as an extra initialisation command for the modem under "Phone and Modem Options" in the Windows Control Panel.

I would suggest that you remove this command.

NowSMS will send the command automatically. But there are some modems where NowSMS has problems sending the command automatically. If this is the situation that you encounter, then put the following in as an extra initialisation command for the modem:

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","mms.mts.ru"
