Interfacing Arduino with SIM800L - Serial Problem

Hi

I am very new to Arduino and I am trying to connect to my SIM800L by following the below tutorial.

I have done everything exactly as per the instructions.

When I run the skript the serial prints the line "Testing GSM SIM800L" fine.
My problem is I am unable to get any response from the SIM800L when I send the "AT" command. Sometimes I get one or two triangles that's it.

The SIM800L is powered and the led is flashing one every second.

That tutorial doesn't look complete. Where did you find the "Test Code" mentioned in the text? Without code on the Arduino the example won't work.
