Hi All
I am getting this message upon receiving an SMS:
+CMTI: "ME",1
How do I fetch the content?
'at+cmgr=1' does not work...
How do I change the default location for message storage to be the sim card
(I suppose +CMTI: "SM",1 - means its in the SIM, location 1)...
TIA
Guy

Other things being equal, that read command should work.

Are you using text-mode? What does "AT+CMGF?" return? And what
does "AT+CMGF=?" return?

What is the "message compatibility" set to? What does "AT+CSMS?"
return?

What is the default storage, and the storage capabilities? What
do "AT+CPMS?" and "AT+CPMS=?" return?

And what do "AT+CNMI?" and "AT+CNMI=?" return?

What brand and model phone/modem are you using?

AT+CPMS="ME","ME","ME"

is worth a try.

Yes.

There are a lot of commands in this area which interact with each
other, sometimes giving unexpected results. "AT+CNMA" is
another.

If you don't have a copy of GSM 07.07 of a similar vintage to
your phone, it would pay you to download one from www.etsi.org.

That should be

AT+CPMS="SM","SM","SM"

to select SIM storage, of course.

And that should read GSM 07.05.
