[solved] Problem receiving messages (Vodafone Mobile Connect)

Operating system name and version: Debian Lenny
Version of smsd: 3.1.5
Smsd installed from: sources
Name and model of a modem / phone: Vodafone Mobile Connect
Interface: pcmcia

Hopefully someone can find an solution to my problem. I tried the same with Debian packaged smstools (3.1.2) with different results, there the problem was that I couldn't decode messages received.

But now with the new version I can't get any messages out from the system. Everything seems to run smoothly, and I can send messages (with some issues, but more about that after investigation).

I tried to send message via my cellphone, just like I would send an reqular SMS but all I can see on log is this:



Here's my smsd.conf:



I didn't try and see if I can retrieve messages manually, but I doubt that if I manually give the same commads the results will be the same as well.

So, any ideas?

The log looks fine. There are no errors, but also no SMS received. Assuming that you surely have sent a message to your device, and it's delivered, try the following:

Stop the daemon if it's running.

Start smsd in a communication mode:
smsd -C GSM1

Follow the instruction on screen.

Enter a command ATE1 to see what you are typing.

Enter a command AT+CPMS=? to see what memory values are supported. There is at least SM listed and probably ME too.

Assuming that mobile equipment is listed as ME, enter a command:
AT+CPMS="ME"
or AT+CPMS="ME","ME","ME" if single "ME" was not enough.

Check the memory using a command:
AT+CPMS?

There should be something like "ME",1,some number listed. In this case your device stores incoming messages into the memory of a device, not into the SIM card. In the modem section of smsd.conf, you can use init = AT+CMPS="ME" to make the change permanent.

If this does not help, show the output of those commands you typed.

Thank you for your very fast and very accurate reply! That did the trick and now I can start building some functionality with that and i.e. my nagios3 environment.

Thank's. I receive SMS every time when something is posted (not quite middle of the night), so I can read topics fast if I'm not completely off-line ;).

Which one init string did the trick? I could include it in the hardware compatibility page, as there is this device already listed.

Probably that has been "stored sent" message, or something like that. As far as I know, that version had no troubles with decoding incoming PDU's.

Feel free to open a new topic for this issue.

And thank's for choosing Smstools3 8)
