Hi!
I am working on a project using Arduino uno and SIM808. I want to send a message with the SIM808 module but I can see that it is not registered on the network. I used library Adafruit_FONA.h. I don't get any errors, but I can not make any action with the GSM module.
I have put the SIM in a phone and it is perfectly working. I don't know what is the problem. Can anyone help please?
Thanks!
Could you provide a schematic, code and more details?
Is the 808 board wired up as in: Wiring to Arduino | Adafruit FONA 808 Cellular + GPS Breakout | Adafruit Learning System

This is the code I am using.
I have the RX for the SIM on pin 8 and the TX on pin 7
The SIM I am using is this type. Modul 3 IN 1 GSM, GPS și Bluetooth SIM808 cu Antenă - Optimus Digital
And the Arduino board is this Placă de Dezvoltare Compatibilă cu Arduino UNO (ATmega328p și CH340) şi Cablu 50 cm
GPS_ce_pune_in_text.ino (4.03 KB)
Typically that error means the sim card is not supported...
You can often find firmware for the SIMXXX chips and re-flash them to support the sim card.
I had the same issue with a SIM900A and had to reflash with 900 firmware to remove the region lock on the sim card.
As a heads up its usually better to write your own code than use templated as it makes troubleshooting far easier when you know what youre intending to do, these libraries arent magic!
Ok, I understand, thank you, but can you help me please with some information on how I can do that? I must do it when it is in a phone or when it is here in the module sim808?
