sms is not working in both chan_datacard and chan_dongle after upgrading to asterisk 1.8.4

Voice and sms are working for chan_datacard after upgrading to Asterisk 1.8.4 here.

Not tried chan_dongle yet.

I suspect it is the cheap peoples SIM problem. Have to be investigated further

bubblestar

Will re-compilation of chan_dongle or chan_datacard after Asterisk 1.8.4 work?  As I told you before, chan_datacard caused problem in accessing CLI in Asterisk 1.8.4 for me but  it did not affect other earlier versions.

I did this before. Not ok. When I put in a PCCW Sim, it can send SMS

bubblestar

Maybe your People's SIM card value has reached to ZERO

ckleea

Dial in and out are of no problem.

ckleea

I am now 100% sure is due to the problem of Peoples SIM card. Somehow it can't see SMS.

Both chan_dongle and chan_datacard drivers works very well. The WEB GUI SMS program also works.

Unfortunately only Chinese SMS in, not able to send Chinese SMS out

bubblestar

Transition from chan_datacard to chan_dongle is smooth.  Voice and SMS are of no problem here.  However, in/out Chinese SMS is not readable.

Sometimes, SIMS card can be problematic

What are the difference between chan_datacard and chan_dongle? Is it just the name change or other additional features included?
