Hi, I am using a cellular radio module for gadgeteer but I cannot send sms or make calls. When I try to send an sms I receive the following message: “Error”. When I try to make a call I receive the following message: “No carrier”. What could be the possible cause for this problem? How could this be solved? Thank you for your help.
The code I am using is:
using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.Threading;
using Microsoft.SPOT;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Presentation;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Presentation.Controls;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Presentation.Media;
using Microsoft.SPOT.Touch;
using Gadgeteer.Networking;
using GT = Gadgeteer;
using GTM = Gadgeteer.Modules;
using Gadgeteer.Modules.Seeed;
using Gadgeteer.Modules.GHIElectronics;
namespace RadioModuleTest
{
public partial class Program
{
// This method is run when the mainboard is powered up or reset.
void ProgramStarted()
{
/*******************************************************************************************
Modules added in the Program.gadgeteer designer view are used by typing
their name followed by a period, e.g. button. or camera.
Many modules generate useful events. Type +=<tab><tab> to add a handler to an event, e.g.:
button.ButtonPressed +=<tab><tab>
If you want to do something periodically, use a GT.Timer and handle its Tick event, e.g.:
GT.Timer timer = new GT.Timer(1000); // every second (1000ms)
timer.Tick +=<tab><tab>
timer.Start();
