Hi All,
My GSM Modem e-GO E169 HUAWEI was working fine in both sending & receiving.
But when I moved to Algeria ( from Bahrain) it stopped working, and I've got this message:
MODEM IS NOT REGISTERED, WAITING 1 SEC. BEFORE RETRYING 1. TIME
Just to mention that I've changed Bahraini SIM card with Algerian one.
Thanks in advance

AT+CREG response 0,2 means that modem is still searching for network. You could check if the SIM works when using it with an ordinary phone.

Thanks Keke for your prompt reply.
I've already tested the SIM before inserting into the modem, and it works.
I am thinking about some special configuration on operator side. Is it a possible way for troublshooting or no need to go to GSM operator?

Since there was no logical cause how my application stopped working. I have had suspicion on the whole installation (may be some viruses). I reinstalled everything from scratch (even windows). Miracle it started working!!.
