Try the following hardware setup (Fig-1) and the test sketch to see if there appears anything on the Srial Monitor at 9600 Bd.

Figure-1:
Tset Sketch:
#include<SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial SUART(2, 3); //SRX = DPin-2, STX = DPin-3
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
SUART.begin(9600);
}
void loop()
{
byte n = SUART.available();
if(n != 0)
{
char x = SUART.read();
Serial.print(x);
}
}
