send incomming msg (SMS) to VB

[kamet]

Does it not display anything at all or is it displaying "garbage" response? Where in your code does it display the response? The garbage response you see in your hyperterminal is because the cell phone is by default in PDU format. Some sony ericssons have a TEXT mode and a PDU mode, you must look for the AT command to switch it to TEXT mode first (unless you want to write software for it in PDU mode, which you'll have to do some hex conversion).

It appears that you only loop until you receive an "OK" and then you move onto the next output. You have to write a response to screen to show that each output was sucessfully received by the celll phone as an "OK" so that you know what is going on.

Make sure your serial output is working first, the easiest way would be to command the cell phone to dial a phone number. This is easier because it does not require the phone to respond by serial "OK" (because you don't know if your output is working yet, so input is still questionable), it will show the phone dialing the number from the cell's display screen. I believe the command to dial a number is ATD1234567890 (the number 1234567890 would be replaced by whatever number you choose)

Good luck.

i thing the problem is my phone modem stay in Off-line Command Mode.. i read the at command datasheet the say i must change to on-line data mode. but i dont know how to go online command mode..

can u help me...

2)
i can read my msg using hiperterminal.

AT

AT+CGMF=1 (change to text mode)
OK
AT+CGMR=1
............................................
...........................................
.............................................
the msg in TEXT mode..

the msg have time send, no phone, the msg..
how to separate the msg.

3)i sent the command for read the msg from cell phone using VB but have problem..
i run the vb and push the " READ "(for read the msg).i recieve the msg but if i push back the READ button the new output cannot out.. u thing my modem cell phone have problem or not.

4)
i connet the phone to computer and open and run the hyperterminal.

i try what u say if the cell phone recieve the msg, the output is +CMTI:"ME",(storage bank number). but in my hyperterminal cant change. dont read anything.

this your idea

(from cell phone): +CMTI: "ME",27
(from computer): at+cmgr=27
(from cell phone): +CMGR: "REC UNREAD","+15551234567","John Doe","05/10/18,23:21:45-20"
Hello World

Try this setup to initially change your cell's default setting.



to set up, try this:

at+cmgf=1 (set to text mode)
at+cnmi=2,1,0,0,0 (set to hear sms delivery response on terminal)
at+cpms="me","me","me" (set mem storage to phone mem read/write)




to read the sms, try this:

+CMTI: "ME",27 (replace "27" with your message bank number)


I don't understand what you mean when you say the new message doesnt output. Are you talking about a new sms being sent won't read or are you saying that trying to read another message won't appear? You have to remember to change the memory bank that you are reading from.


Also, take a look at this part of your code:

Do
DoEvents
buffer$ = buffer$ & MSComm1.Input
Loop Until InStr(buffer$, "OK")

Do you realize that when you receive your message, the cell phone does not reply "OK" ? It only response with "OK" when you issue a command TO the cell phone, not the other way around. It is possible that your program reads the message and then hangs because it is waiting for an "OK" reply which it never will receive. Just an observation, I might be incorrect as to what you are trying to do with your code.

Good luck.

i set the phone like this
at+cmgf=1
at+cnmi=2,1,2,0,0
at+cpms="me","sm","me"

how to save this setting. because after i disconnet the the phone dont save the setting.i must set the phone back if i want read recieve msg.

thank for help me

PoTeToJB, I don't think you can save the settings when you disconnect the phone. If somebody knows how to, I would like to know that as well because I can't save it myself. I always initialize the connection with those settings everytime to ensure that they are properly set.

i have a SIMCOM Modem and I give a command AT&W which writes my current setting to the modem. Hope it works and helps.


Well I am looking for some help in rx SMS using VB6. I have successfully rx the SMS using a PIC Micro and PBP. But don't know how to Rx it in VB.

I understood the CMGR command but I don't know How I can skip a set of 51 character to escape the SMS details and copy just the message.

Any Help ?

Thanks in advance.
