I can't receive SMS's with my Siemens MC35i running smsd 3.1.5.
Here's my smsd.conf:

devices = GSM1
outgoing = /var/spool/sms/outgoing
checked = /var/spool/sms/checked
failed = /var/spool/sms/failed
sent = /var/spool/sms/sent
incoming = /var/spool/sms/incoming
logfile = /var/log/smsd.log
loglevel = 5
admin_to = +35840xxxxxxx
checkhandler = /opt/gnu/share/smstools/scripts/checkhandler-multirecip

[GSM1]
device = /dev/cua/b
incoming = yes
init = AT+CPMS="SM"
pin = xxxx
hangup_incoming_call = yes

smsd gives following when using "SM":
2010-03-21 09:52:39,7, GSM1: <- +CPMS: "SM",0,30,"SM",0,30,"SM",0,30 OK

when using "SM","SM","MT" it gives following:
2010-03-21 09:48:24,7, GSM1: <- +CPMS: "SM",0,30,"SM",0,30,"MT",11,55 OK

So there's messages in the modems memory.

I tried check_memory_method = 3 (and 31, 5 etc) but it didn't do any good.
Default check_memory_method is 1.

Yours, Jussi Sallinen.

You could try with init = AT+CPMS="MT","MT","MT", if not already tried.

By default this device uses "ME" storage for incoming messages, and if it's filled up, "SM" storage is used. The storage "MT" is the sum of the storages "ME" and "SM".

Ah, thanks!
That did the job :-)

Does AT+CPMS="MT","MT","MT" clear the SIM and Modem memory when Sending and Receiving SMS's?
ie. would I have trouble when memory fills, if I use check_memory_method 1: CPMS?

AT+CPMS does not clear anything, Messages are deleted after they are read.

I do not know if this device can send SMS when all storage spaces are filled. If it can't, use the global setting receive_before_send = yes. This will ensure that there is at least one storage space available when sending a message.

If you have lot of traffic, you could try to use check_memory_method = 31. It's better than the default method.

So when smstools reads/receives the message from the modem the message is deleted, right?
In that case there isn't any problem since I run smstools 24/7.

Oh well, why not just use check_memory_method = 31 :-)

Yes.

Yeah, it should work with MC35i and with cmgl_value 4 which is a default.
