I am trying to send message from GSM modem. I can submit AT commands the response is OK without any ERRORS. But the problem is I can't send message or read message.
I have implemented 3 functions:
- Connect to port
- Read SMS
- Send SMS
- Handles
1. Connect To Port:
Private Sub BtnConnect_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnConnect.Click
If SerialPort1.IsOpen Then
SerialPort1.Close()
BtnConnect.Text = "Connect"
Else
Try
With SerialPort1
.PortName = Trim(Mid(ComboBox1.Text, 1, 5))
.BaudRate = 9600
.Parity = IO.Ports.Parity.None
.DataBits = 8
.StopBits = Ports.StopBits.One
.Handshake = Ports.Handshake.None
.RtsEnable = True
.DtrEnable = True
.Open()
.WriteLine("AT+CNMI=1,2,0,0,0" & vbCrLf) 'send whatever data that it receives to serial port
End With
BtnConnect.Text = "Disconnect"
Catch ex As Exception
BtnConnect.Text = "Connect"
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End If
End Sub
2. Read SMS
Private Sub btn_read_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btn_read.Click
Try
SerialPort1.WriteLine("AT" & vbCrLf) 'is modem okay?
Thread.Sleep(1000)
SerialPort1.WriteLine("AT+CMGF=1" & vbCrLf) 'To format SMS as a TEXT message
Thread.Sleep(1000)
SerialPort1.WriteLine("AT+CPMS=""SM""" & vbCrLf) ' Select SIM storage
Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
SerialPort1.WriteLine("AT+CMGL=""REC UNREAD""" & vbCrLf) 'read unread messages
Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
SerialPort1.WriteLine("AT+CMGL=""ALL""" & vbCrLf) 'print all message
Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
3. Send SMS
Private Sub btn_send_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btn_send.Click
Try
With SerialPort1
.WriteLine("AT" & vbCrLf)
Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
.WriteLine("AT+CMGF=1" & vbCrLf) 'Instruct the GSM / GPRS modem to operate in SMS text mode
Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
.WriteLine("AT+CMGS=""9802100355""" & vbCr) 'sender ko no. rakhne ho tyo txtnumber ma
Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) 'thapeko
.WriteLine("This is test message" & vbCrLf & Chr(26)) 'txtmessage automatic huna parchha haina?
End With
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
4. Handles for Data received in Serial Port
Private Sub serialport1_datareceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles SerialPort1.DataReceived
'Pause while all data is read
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(300)
rcvdata = SerialPort1.ReadExisting()
MsgBox(rcvdata, , "Response From AT")
rcvdata = ""
End Sub
Where did I miss anything? While sending SMS I get CMS 500 error. With the software from the modem I am able to read and send sms. But I need to implement my own in my software.

There may several cause of this error. First check your network. Second set Message service center number using AT commands and save this setting. Hope this will help you
