Thanks everyone,
After an evening paying with minicom and a Sierra Wireless 875 I think I have a far better understanding of how everything plays together.
I will probably bring a few different phone and modem options with me to make sure one of them works, but I can see now that the standalone modems do really offer some nice conveniences.
Thanks again, -Nic Alvaro Cornejo wrote:
Hi Nicolas Regarding the message storage, they can be stored in several parts: You can configure, in some modems/phones whether the messages will be stored in the sim itself or in the modem/phone memory. modems has space for about 20 messages. For sims, it will depend on the size of the internal memory. Also, the operator itself will keep messages that could not be delivered to the phone. Here however this will depend on operator policies. They use 2 main metrics here: Max number of pending messages and Max message retention time. You should contact your provider for this. Regards Alvaro
