Hi Will,<br>
<br>
I read the wikipedia page and the application I'm building could be
accurately described as a SMS Gateway. It will have an ethernet
connection, web interface/application, and internal applications to
handle sent & received messages. I can accomplish this with a USB
cell phone modem and a Linux box. (But not if the stupid* Novatel USB
modem has no AT commands for sending & receiving SMS messages.)<br>
<br>
We aren't going to trunk into any telcos with SS7.<br>
<br>
Jim<br>
<br>
*I'll retract the "stupid" characterization in the event someone from
Novatel gets back to me with some helpful AT commands. Their web site
is spectacularly unhelpful with regards to this.<br>

<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"><small>Hi CLUEbies,<br>
</small><br>
OK I am stumped. Can you please help me?<br>
<br>
I am building an application that will send and receive SMS text
messages using a cell phone modem connected via USB to the computer. I
know how to do it with a Sierra Wireless card (I'll post the
instructions after my sig for the record). However for some business
reason we prefer to use this Verizon Novatel USB stick:<br>
<br>
ati<br>
Manufacturer: NOVATEL WIRELESS INCORPORATED<br>
Model: MC760 VERIZON<br>
Revision: Q6085BDRAGONFLY_V139 [Jul 02 2009 18:00:00]<br>
ESN: 0x5B4F8091<br>
+GCAP: +CIS707-A, CIS-856-A, +MS, +ES, +DS<br>
<br>
OK<br>
<br>
The MC760 FAQ is inconclusive about whether or not text messaging is
supported. <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.novatelwireless.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=163&Itemid=108"
target="_blank">http://www.novatelwireless.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=163&Itemid=108</a><br>
"Does Ovation™ MC760 support voice calls, fax and/or text messaging?<br>
No. Voice calls and fax are not supported."<br>
<br>
My google searching has turned up nothing related to AT commands that
could be used to process SMS text messages with this device. Novatel's <br>
web site is also unhelpful. Does anyone out there in CLUE-land have any
ideas? All of the AT commands below return ERROR on the Novatel device.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jim<br>
