I have received my 3G shield few days ago then I tried to send SMS, it works fine but when I tried to test take picture sample I have no response at the step
AT+CCAMS
The program still wait for "OK" response but nothing happens,
but by adding some verbose logs by testing response on serial line I have sometime these type of strings:
Notice that at beginning I have supplied my card with USB and after by an external supply of 18V, I hope that the card and the shield support this voltage ....
If someone could give me a beginning of explanation :~

Unless you know that whatever it is will accept an 18V supply, this is rather risky and could easily have burned something out. If it was previously working and now no longer works then I'm afraid there's a good chance you've blown it.
Serial.println("AT+CCAMS"); //starts the camera while(Serial.read()!='K'); // <-- OK not received !!!!
Concerning supply of 18V, Arduino specs describe that the upper voltage limit is 21V,the card seems to work well and the 3G Shield too since I can send and receive SMS and LED continue to blink at startup, the only suspect behaviour I can see is when I want to use the shield as 3G modem, Windows (7) don't find the driver but still as an "Unknow device"
