Cannot send SMS with SIM900

Friends,

Thanks for this thread. I've been active in this area lately and found that if you are in text mode and try to send more than 160 characters in a single text, you get the nasty 765 error.

I think, but don't know for sure, that there is some internal buffer limit on an outbound text, and after that is exceeded, the next thing it expects is Cntrl-Z -- so if you keep feeding it characters, it doesn't get that Cntrl-Z and claims that the input is "invalid input value."

This explanation of 765 ("invalid input value") initially sent me down the wrong path, by the way: I use all kinds of characters like !@#$% and was even using a newline in my texts -- but I tested all those including the newline: no problem.

Check for buffer overrun on your tx. Best wishes,

~~ Robert
