I just purchased a Rogers SIM card and have got my SMS module up and running.....I am not able to get it to send any messages......the status says ready but the red gsm light seems like it is blinking faster than every 3 secs.....seems more like every 1 sec......why would this be?? Any help is much appreciated.....
Can you post some screenshots of the Plc for the SMS? You might need to play with settings.

Are these the screenshots that you mean? There is not really much for settings...but what am I supposed to enter into SMS Service-Center?? And why would the red gsm light be blinking every 1 second instead of every 3?

You need to set up SMS service center. That's the number that's going to route your SMS.
Where are you located? What's your SIM card co?
I am located in Lucan,Ontario,Canada
It is a Rogers SIM card...... I tried entering in what is shown in the pic below.....I looked it up and canada country code is +1 and then the rest is the number given to me by Rogers.....do the SIM cards have passwords??

Not sure about the SIM card having passwords. I do have a diff number than yours but I am using AT&T here in the us. Are you sure the card is active? Can you switch cards with your cellphone and see if it receives or sends txts?
You might want to send Michael from AD an email. He is in Canada and should be able to help you troubleshoot it.

I was going to do that but my blackberry does not have a SIM card....I think the wife's blackberry does so maybe I will try that....our blackberrys are with koodomobile and I was told they use Hspa (or something like that) instead of gsm and this is why I went with Rogers for it because I thought it had to be a gsm SIM card.....or will they all work?

I did send him an email today. I have not heard back yet......

Any gsm card should work. Have you tried sending testing the SMS?
Yes this is the only thing I have setup and it didn't work......I tried the test or it too and still nothing.....

I believe you need to get a service center number. I think that's what's stopping you from getting a text.
Hopefully Michael will answer soon.
I am sorry I can't be any more help.
I checked the wife's blackberry and she does not have a SIM card either. Okay, would this also cause the red gsm light to blink at 1 sec intervals which means it is not connected to the net??
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Yes I believe so. Mine blinks red every 3 secs. Then all three lights are on constantly following the red one. Two yellow and one orange.
Yes I have all the same as you except red gsm light blinks faster.....if you change your number to something else will it still blink slow at the 3 sec intervals or does it start to blink faster like mine?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Yes. Have you tried rebooting the p3 and the SMS?
Yes, it still blinks slow??
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
No, I have not tried this.....I have only powered on and off the SMS model using the switch at back.....you think I should power off p3 too?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Yes I would turn off everything. Then on again.
Ok, I am going to wait for ghl to respond before I turn power off to everything.....thank you very much for your help!

But what do you mean by "yes"? Still blinks the same, slow?

I just powered everything off and then back on again.....same issue....I will try to get a video of my red gsm light.

Not sure. I do need to have a number on my SMS center, if not red light blinks every second or so.
I am going to ask a reefer friend who helped set up mine and will let you know.
Thank you for your help! I still cannot figure out how to post a video on here that I took on my ipad2..... The new ios6 does not have the YouTube app like before....kinda sucks!!
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Go ahead and download YouTube app from the AppStore. You can then upload video
I did that but there is only the iPhone version of YouTube app so I downloaded anyway.....but when I sign in and go to uploads it just says error loading. Tap to retry. But just keeps saying this.....

I called Rogers and they said everything should be ok on their end.....they confirmed the SMS service center number and even gave me two SIM PIN numbers to try.....neither of which worked either.....still do not have it running on my Rogers SIM card......

I found this online from Michael at aqua digital...

I never got to choose a PIN when I bought it.....but the lady gave me two to try like i said before....that is kinda weird....she also wanted to try disconnecting me and reconnecting me to their service and during that time she said to turn off my module.....I wonder if maybe they have to do this again for me with the right pin.....??? I am really stumped....

Ok so I am now sure I have all settings correct.....I have confirmed with Rogers and with these settings I have had them reset the network a couple times and they say all is good on their end.....I am now going to try a pab reset and then reassign devices....
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
Yeah sounds good. Hopefully re setting everything will get you going. Sorry I didn't reply to your messages earlier....busy day.
Good luck
Still didn't work.....
I am taking my SIM card into Rogers tomorrow and see if they can check it out....

I got a new SIM card from Rogers today and still have the same problem......I have the correct SMS service center number from Rogers and the pin is correct as well.....I really don't know what else to do.....can anyone please help?!? I wish there was a feature where you can tell signal quality because I don't know if this is the problem or if something is wrong with my settings.....but I really can't see there being an issue with settings because I have confirmed them with Rogers. What else can it be?? Could it really be signal quality??
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
I really doubt it's signal quality. Are you connected via PAB? I the PAB detecting the SMS?
Honestly I REALLY don't know why else to rec.
have you tried emailing Michael? Email him again. They are in the middle of sending Mitras LEDs out so I am sure they are busy.
Thanks for your reply....
Ok so here is the latest.....I just received a text from the SMS module lol finally....and when I checked on the unit, the red gsm light was flashing slower at 3s.....but now I just tried sending another text and nothing happened but when I checked on the SMS module the red light was flashing fast again......is this a signal issue?!?

Hi Ben,
I have been in email with you from the start of this, well I guess its you so dont understand the "cant reach Michael" :(
Anyway - I have no clue now as basically you have been through all possible options. I will need to get Matthias to take this to second level support tomorrow for you
Ok so my new plan is to move the SMS module to my first floor and try to find better signal quality there.....I now believe it to be a signal issue....

I just received another "test" text msg from the SMS module and the red gsm light is now blinking slow again.....has to be a signal issue....
The text messages are coming in later after I "test" send them when the controller gets signal finally.....

Thats what i said to you from the start - weak signal ;)
Probably not

Do you think it is possible I have no signal?? I have three bars on my
blackberry with koodo with cell sitting right beside the SMS module.
