SMS sample with NRF9160 DK - sending SMS is not working

[FALDOV]

Hello,

I am using the SMS sample of the NRF9160 SDK version 1.6.1. It allows to automatically send a SMS to a precise phone number, and to receive SMS.

As indicated at this link https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/samples/nrf9160/sms/README.html#cmdoption-arg-CONFIG_SMS_SEND_PHONE_NUMBER, I modified the prj.conf file in order to set the parameter CONFIG_SMS_SEND_PHONE_NUMBER. It corresponds to the phone number which I want to send a SMS to. (The MSISDN number, if I understood well).

My NRF9160DK is connected to Putty, and here is what I get at the output after downloading the project on the dev kit with Segger :

Do you have any idea about why SMS sending is skipped please ?

Here is my setup:

SIM card : iBasis received with the NRF9160DK

OS: Windows 10

SDK : v1.6.1

Best regards

Hi,

 

Do you have any idea about why SMS sending is skipped please ?

Not all SIM cards has support for SMS, and iBasis is one of these. You will need to contact your local carrier to hear if they have support for SMS on their iot based SIMs.

 

Kind regards,
