hi ppl, i need an AT command or combination of AT commands through which i can get CELL INFO DISPLAY (name of the location / cell) on my hyperterminal

im using SIM300Z for this purpose.
plz reply to this topic asap
thnx
 

What do you mean by NAME of the location/cell. Do you expect a command that will return "Berne Rd Tower, Santa Clara, CA"?
 

yes i want the same kind of info. here in my country it says like "GT road Islamabad"
this info is transmitted at cell broadcast channel (cbc)50
the AT command for this is at+csbs but dnt know the exact parameters or usage of this command plz help me i know this can b done plzz

Where did you see this command? I have all of the SIMCom documents and don't see this command in any of them.
 

sory for tht
actually the AT command for cell broadcast message is
AT+CSCB
this can b used to get information that is being transmitted at channel 50
 

If you issue these 2 commands, the module will report any messages received on Cell Broadcast channel 50 via an "unsolicited response":
Code: 
AT+CNMI=2,0,2,0,0
AT+CSCB=0,"50","0-15"

AT+CSCB=0,"50","0-9"

these are the AT commands that give u the cell info display on ur gsm modem, this involves the name of the BTS that ur modem is connected to, given that service provider transmits that information

first you should check whether your sim900 support this cscb command or not, if it does then it must b having some other parameters, read the AT command version of your sim900 as at commands may differ in diff versions supported by different modules.

find cscb and go through the parameters, it must b due to change of parameters
