Your English seems fine to me!

If you’ve bought it new, you should try speaking to the supplier.
They should be able to speak to you in your own language, and talk you through some tests to find the cause of this problem.

Note that you don’t actually need a modem to do that at all!
There are plenty of services that will allow you to send SMS direct from a PC using an internet connection.
In fact, Skype can do this.

They are correct - the modem is telling the software that it thinks it has no SIM.

Are you sure that the SIM is correctly inserted - the correct way up - and that the little black tab is fully pushed over it?

Can you connect Hyperterminal to the modem, so that you can send AT commands to it, and see the responses?
If you can, try AT+WIND = 32767 to turn on the “+WIND:” indications.
Then AT&W to save the setting
Then AT+CFUN=1 to reboot the modem (or just turn the power off & on)

You should then see a series of messages something like this as the modem starts:

With your modem, you should have received a document that describes all the AT commands - including these +WIND: indications.
If you don’t have it, contact your supplier.

The key ones are:
+WIND: 13 => SIM rack is closed
+WIND: 1 => SIM inserted

and the WIND: 10 and 11 indicate that the SIM has successfully initialised.

Thank you for answer me, I try some of the commands, this what I do:

The guys from the company here in mexico only says give me time and time and time, I buy this modem and the soft smslist because I will send sms masive, in advence thank you for your answer, and thank’s for your patient. Carlos Chavarria

No - the “+WIND:13” is the response that should come from the modem - it is not what you type!

The commands that you need to type were in Bold in my previous post!

Do you mean that you will send a very large volume of SMS messages?

In that case, this is really the wrong solution! :astonished: :open_mouth:

You really should not be using a modem for high-volume sending!

You really need to look at a bulk SMS service via an internet connection.

Try googling “bulk SMS mexico”, or maybe talk to your service provider?
