2 Replies
I did a simulation with a class last week - a "prisoner" exercise" and set up 5 groups. The class had to send messages to the Frontline SMS "switchboard" to communicate with each other. This meant…Continue

Florence Scialom replied to Willow Williamson's discussion Messages getting slowed way down with AT&T SIM card"Hi Willow,
I've spoken with our lead developer, Alex, about this and he's said it would be helpful for him to take a look at your logs in order to try and identify the problem here, so would you mind sending your logs to us? (You can do…"
Florence Scialom replied to Willow Williamson's discussion Messages getting slowed way down with AT&T SIM card"Hi Willow,
Thanks for getting in touch about this. I haven't heard of AT&T SIM cards slowing down the FrontlineSMS system before. I will check in with our developer team about this and see if they have any ideas as to what the problem would…"
Willow Williamson posted a discussionMessages getting slowed way down with AT&T SIM card
I did a simulation with a class last week - a "prisoner" exercise" and set up 5 groups. The class had to send messages to the Frontline SMS "switchboard" to communicate with each other. This meant that 20 messages were going out at a time in and out of Frontline. But, it got very slowed down- and I had to quit and restart it everytime I wanted to receive messages. Is this a problem with my AT&T Sim card? It is an individual plan with unlimited texting capability. It would definitely not…See More
Willow Williamson replied to Willow Williamson's discussion Sending but not receiving message with GSM modem and PC"Hi Felipe,
I hope you are well. I ended up using the SIM card from my AT&T regular plan. I think that the prepaid go phone SIM cards will ONLY work with the gophone itself- so the SIM card is locked in with that device. That is what I understood…"
Felipe Moura replied to Willow Williamson's discussion Sending but not receiving message with GSM modem and PC"Hi,
I also bought this e173 Huawei modem but I am having difficulties to get it recognize a ATT prepaid go phone SIM card.
Can you let me know how did you set it up?
My e173 is also unlocked like yours."
Florence Scialom replied to Willow Williamson's discussion Sending but not receiving message with GSM modem and PC"Hi Willow,
Its great to hear that you now have FrontlineSMS working with your SIM card!
In terms of checking your other SIM there are a few things you can check, many of which Domingo has already covered (do you have credit on the SIM, does the…"
Domingo Liotta replied to Willow Williamson's discussion Sending but not receiving message with GSM modem and PC"I'm afraid not Willow
We don't have AT&T in Argentina ;)"
Willow Williamson replied to Willow Williamson's discussion Sending but not receiving message with GSM modem and PC"Thank you, Flo- yes I did get it to work by emptying the SIM card!
But, now I am trying to get it to work with the SIM card from a go-phone and the modem is not recognizing it. I guess that is more a question for Huawai or AT&T?
Thanks!"
Willow Williamson replied to Willow Williamson's discussion Sending but not receiving message with GSM modem and PC"Hi Domingo,
Thank you for the input. I ended up clearing my SIM card and now it works with my own phone SIM card. However, for my class I was planning to use a go-phone SIM card. When I put it in (and it is charged now with unlimited texting), the…"
Domingo Liotta replied to Willow Williamson's discussion Sending but not receiving message with GSM modem and PC"Hi Willow:
I'd check to see if AT&T lets send/receive via a regular cell phone with the card you bought
Of course you need to have credit in your prepaid card too This can easily be overlooked in all the testing.
When you are confident the…"
Willow Williamson replied to Willow Williamson's discussion Sending but not receiving message with GSM modem and PC"Thank you for the ideas! I will let you know what I am able to figure out.
One question- what question would I need to ask my provider? I have AT&T, and I am using a go phone pre-paid SIM card."
Florence Scialom replied to Willow Williamson's discussion Sending but not receiving message with GSM modem and PC"Hi Willow,
Thanks for getting in touch here (and thanks for Domingo for responding, too).
It may be that your SIM memory is full, and therefore not accepting new messages? It may help you to run through all suggestions in this troubleshooting…"
Domingo Liotta replied to Willow Williamson's discussion Sending but not receiving message with GSM modem and PC"Hello Willow:
Nice to meet you I also use FrontlineSMS in a user educational environment. I have the same modem and windows you do and I´m receiving and sending just fine.
Maybe you need to check with your provider to troubleshoot any…"
