Avotronics Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Hi, First time I've tried to make configuration changes via GSM. The client hasn't disabled voicemail on their sim yet, but I'm trying to figure out why the Orange voicemail picks up the call instead of making a data connection. Reading the Elite ComGSM manual it states that in GSM mode (rather than GPRS) you can use upload/download but the sim must have a data plan. It does, yet on the Wintex connection it calls and Orange lady says leave a message... so I did... "why won't you bl**dy work"! SMS texts work both ways. Any ideas? ThanksDanny Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/37231-wintex-remote-uploaddownload-via-gsm/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avotronics Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 After some more reading it would appear I need a 'data number' as opposed to the sim's voice number... That correct? Will Orange even know what the hell I'm on about if I ask for the data number of a sim?

BLWTechServices Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 No doubt they'll know what you're talking about, but if you're using a PAYG sim, they're unlikely to activate the data number, and if they do, are likely to charge you big bucks for it... Ideally you Need a fixed IP data only sim card in the ComGSM.

secureiam Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 From memory:- You can upload download using the GSM number if you have a COM2400 connected to the gsm module via a fly lead utilise the audio port . (Need a good signal strength). gprs can be used but you program the module as com ip and cant use the gsm facilities and it performs as a com ip module. Don't have one setup to confirm and not done this for some time.
