My modem is reporting available number of memory locations fine and polling them sequentially


-> AT+CPMS?
2018-01-22 14:00:51,7, GSM1: Command is sent, waiting for the answer. (5)
2018-01-22 14:00:51,7, GSM1: <- +CPMS: "SM",1,30,"SM",1,30,"SM",1,30 OK
2018-01-22 14:00:51,6, GSM1: Used memory is 1 of 30

It then sequentially looks for messages. Is there a configuration entry that I can limit the checking to the first 5 memory slots on the SIM card ?

Thankyou..Peter

Sadly the level of support is very thin but it does make you investigate more yourself.

I've changed the memory_check_method=2 , the modem reports 4 slots and hence it only checks 4 now.

Much better
