I have tried every combination from this conf file.
But I always get the following error:

I don't receive any sms from the modem.

Result from "dmesg |grep tty"

I use USB2 in the conf file because of this and this. I tried USB0 but I get the same error. With USB1 I get the following error:

And it goes like this forever.

Any thougths?

Thanks.

After reading this and the smsd.log I understand that the answer for AT+CPIN should be READY, but I receive:
PIN handling: expected READY, modem answered +CPIN: PH-NET PIN OK

"PH-NET PIN OK"

Where should I modify within smstools source so it can understand the modem answer?

I have modified the source code and recompiled it but I have another error now... So I have switched to ZTE MF636 which works fine but does not have voice support. So I have to switch again
Next I will try with Huawei E 160E. Any special attention needed for this kind of USB modem?

Thanks.
Vlad.

The problem it's not because of USB change.
The modem would not register...
But it doesn't matter anymore... I have change to another device And I don't want to invest more time in the first device.

Thanks anyway
Vlad.
