Can not send SMS with Etisalat SIM ( Dubai )

Dear All,

Our customer is testing the product ( using WISMO 228 ) in Dubai. Unluckily the module can not send SMS with Etisalat SIM while it works well with DU SIM. Both SIM work with mobiphone normally. Does anyone know the reason ? How could we setup the module ?

Thanks and best regards,
Nguyen Hoang Anh

Have you spoken to the Service Provider?

What error code(s) do you get?

What could we ask them while the Etisalat SIM works with mobile phone normally ?
Here is my customer raw information :

Hi Anh,
found out that Etisalat normal prepaid SIM card is unable to send SMS. Seems GPRS, other GSM commands, receiving SMS, calling / receiving phone calls work. Tested with phone, enough credit. Tested 2 Etisalat SIM card and two units. Both units work with DU SIM card.

Bad luck there is no error code. the module likes “hang” :
