Arduino GSM / SMS does not work properly

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Hey Guys,
i have a problem with my TC35 GSM shield, or rather with my code.
My Function sendsms() should send a SMS to a spezified phonenumber.
This works - but the code
sendsms("test1");
delay(2000);
sendsms("test3");

only sends the first sms message.

the code for the function sendsms() is

void sendsms(char nachricht){
gsm.print("AT+CMGS="");
gsm.print(handynummer);
gsm.println(""");
while(gsm.read() != '>');
{
gsm.print(nachricht);
delay(500);
gsm.write(0x1A);
gsm.write(0x0D);
gsm.write(0x0A);
delay(5000);
}

}

this sketch ive found in a youtube video.

please help me why always only one sms is send.

P.S please excuse my bad english im from germany and still learning english =)

So, why not post in the German section? There is a sticky at the top of the forum that details how to post in this forum, specifically talking about how to post code.

Pay particular attention to the part that says post ALL of your code.
