Not recieving messages from GSM module (SIM900) to Phone

With the Code below I get the following output in the serial monitor. Notice how it doest print the full message in the serial monitor (missing " Hi!") and more importantly this code does not send anything via sms. If anyone knows why this is please help me, thank you :slight_smile:

Setting AT commands to text mode...
Trying to send to number...
Writing message...
Message should be sent!

AT+CMGF=1

AT+CMGS="+61xxxxxxxxx"

SIM900 and Arduino say 

void setup()
{
  Serial1.begin(19200);  //Default serial port setting for the GPRS modem is 19200bps 
  Serial.begin(19200);    // the GPRS baud rate 
  delay(500);
}  
void loop()
{
  //after start up the program, you can using terminal to connect the serial of gprs shield,
  //if you input 't' in the terminal, the program will execute SendTextMessage(), it will show how to send a sms message,
 
  if (Serial.available())
    switch(Serial.read())
   {
     case 't':
       SendTextMessage();
       break;
   } 
  if (Serial1.available())
    Serial.write(Serial1.read());
}

void SendTextMessage()
{
  Serial1.println("\r");
  delay(1000);   //Wait for a second while the modem sends an "OK"
  Serial.println("Setting AT commands to text mode...");
  Serial1.println("AT+CMGF=1\r");    //Because we want to send the SMS in text mode
  delay(1000);

  //Serial1.print("AT+CSCA=\"+61xxxxxxxxx\"\r\n");  //Setting for the SMS Message center number,  
  //delay(1000);                                  //uncomment only if requiredh

  Serial.println("Trying to send to number...");
  Serial1.println("AT+CMGS=\"+61xxxxxxxxx\"\r");    //Start accepting the text for the message
                                                  //to be sent to the number specified.
                                                  //Replace this number with the target mobile number.
  delay(1000);
  Serial.println("Writing message...");
  Serial1.print("SIM900 and Arduino say Hi!\r");   //The text for the message
  delay(1000);
  //Serial.print(26,BYTE);  //Equivalent to sending Ctrl+Z 
  Serial1.write(26); 
  //Serial1.println((char)26);
  Serial.println("Message should be sent!");
  Serial1.println();
}

Also note that I am using the hardware serial ports, hence serial1 is in my code. I have attached a photo of my setup.
