MKR 1400 Modem Hangs After Repeated Use

Hardware MKR Family MKRGSM1400
#1

My sketch is pretty straightforward… I look for an incoming SMS, and if there is one, I send it back out on a Hologram.io. It works fine until a few hours goes by and then the modem returns ERROR. Here’s the sketch.

#include <MKRGSM.h>
const char PINNUMBER[] = " ";
const char GPRS_APN[] = "hologram";
const char GPRS_LOGIN[] = " ";
const char GPRS_PASSWORD[] = " ";

String HOLOGRAM_DEVICE_KEY = "******";
String HOLOGRAM_TOPIC = "_SOCKETAPI_";

GSMClient client;
GPRS gprs;
GSM gsm(1);                                             // Enable debug
GSM_SMS sms;

char server[] = "cloudsocket.hologram.io";
int port = 9999;
boolean isSMSAvailable = false;
char sms_message[145];

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  while(!Serial);

  connectGSM();   
}

void connectGSM() {
  boolean connected = false;

  while (!connected) {
    Serial.println("Begin GSM Access");
      
    if ((gsm.begin() == GSM_READY) &&
        (gprs.attachGPRS(GPRS_APN, GPRS_LOGIN, GPRS_PASSWORD) == GPRS_READY)) {
      connected = true;
      Serial.println("GSM Access Success");
    } 
    else {
      Serial.println("Not connected");
      delay(1000);
    }
  }
}

void loop() {
  // Get any new incoming txt messages
  int c;
  if (sms.available()) {
    int i = 0;
    while ((c = sms.read()) != -1) {
      sms_message[i++] = (char)c;
    }
    sms_message[i] = '\0';        // Terminate message
    isSMSAvailable = true;
    sms.flush();
  }

  // Send message back through hologram
  if(isSMSAvailable) {
    isSMSAvailable = false;

    if (client.connect(server, port)) {
      client.print("{\"k\":\"" + HOLOGRAM_DEVICE_KEY + "\",\"d\":\"");
      client.print(sms_message);
      client.println("\",\"t\":\""+HOLOGRAM_TOPIC+"\"}");
      client.stop();
    }
  }

  delay(5000);
}

When it works fine, the output looks like this:

AT+CMGL="REC UNREAD"

When it failes, here’s what happens:

AT+CMGL="REC UNREAD"

OK
AT+CMGL="REC UNREAD"

+CMGL: 19,"REC UNREAD","+19495472010",,"18/07/26,03:09:53+04"
Testing one two three

OK

OK

ERROR

OK

Any ideas?
