Hello,

I'm trying to configure SMSD to be able to send SMS messages through my Huawei connected on port /dev/ttyUSB0.
But I have an issue...
When SMSD tries to send the Message (AT+CMGS), he received the error: +CMS ERROR: 500

Here is my smsd.conf:

devices = GSM1
logfile = /var/log/smsd.log
loglevel = 7

[GSM1]
device = /dev/ttyUSB0
incoming = no
init = AT^CURC=0
baudrate = 9600
#rtscts = no
pin = XXXX

And here is the log with the error:

Do you have any clue of the issue ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Sorry, I forgot to mention the version of SMSD: 3.0.10-4.el5.i386

I have also tried to add the SMSC parameter in the smsd.conf but still the same issue.

Thanks again for your help.

Some complement of information...

I've tried also with the following parameters in the smsd.conf:

# Example smsd.conf. Read the manual for a description devices = GSM1 logfile = /var/log/smsd.log loglevel = 7 [GSM1] device = /dev/ttyUSB0 incoming = no init = AT^CURC=0 init2 = AT+CSCS="GSM" memory_start = 0 baudrate = 19200 pin = XXXX smsc = 32475161616

But still the same result...

One question, I've seen different threads concerning the international numbers or short numbers.
All example that I saw was for germans number or uk numbers with 12 digits.
Here in Belgium, the number has only 11 digits (see smsc number).

Can it be the problem ?

Thanks one more time for your support...

After 3 days of different tries... I'm still having the same issue.
I'm able to receive SMS but I'm not able to send one !!!

I've updated my smsd to the latest version, so here is my current configuration:

Operating system name and version: CentOS 5.9
Version of smsd: 3.1.15
Smsd installed from: Source
Name and model of a modem / phone: Huawei E220
Interface: USB


My smsd.conf file:

Note: I've tried the different init parameter (in comment) one by one... but still the sqme error!

And here is the log with the error:

Thanks in advance for your support.

Well,

You can close this topic...
I've found the solution !!!

My last configuration was good... and it worked after unplugging and replugging the USB modem !!!

Best regards,
