Problems with SIM300 as it doesn't detect the sim card

sim300_atc_v2.01

Hi All

Is anyone here using SIMCOM modules in quantity (more than 100). We want to use SIM300, but we are concerned about quality. If anyone can verify for us if these modules are working well and are dependable, I will be grateful..

regards
Carel

I am having two sim300 module based modems loaded with two GPRS activated SIM from AIRTEL (indian cellular service provider) . Both these modems are connected to hyperterminal and responding to AT commands well . We have already exchanged SMS voice ,call through these modems . Now i intend to achieve three objectives with it first of all to transmit data using data call through these modems . Secondly to send and receive emails through modems . Third part is to transmit data through GPRS between these modules .I believe to achieve third objective we need to connect these modems to a web server and route data transfer through it . We are planning to host our own website and use database facility provided by BSNL ( Indian ISP) .If anybody from india can comment on it .
I believe this must be basic requirement for many a solution on these three issues will many a lot .I am looking forward for leads towards solution of these problem .

simcom 300 datasheet

Hello everyone.

It seems that a lot of people is working with the SIM300/340 now. I think it is mainly because it is very cheap.

I have some of these too and I have a question.

Are they reliable? Since we are expected to have a professional product, we must be sure that this module does what it sais. Are any people here that have managed to work with the modules without any problems?

This is the most important part of the product design.

I wish it works good because it is very very cheap!

Thanks.

Bill

error dial sim300

I've used over 1k so far, 300 and 300D models. I have some dead modules after some time, but well in an acceptable margin for losses (under 5 pcs. at this qty). The biggest problem at the beginning was with the development, there are a lot of situations when they need a certain way to handle them (low signal situations, in roaming, etc.). I am satisfied by them, and in the future I will go in the same way. Compared for example with Telit GM862, they are better (just my opinion).

Hi,
As per my observation smcom rovides lowe cost & small size modles cpare to others.But I dont find it relable.

Is this based on RF reliability meaning signal stremght, etc or does the module "lock up" and so forth?

When it powers on I receive:
RDY
CPIN: NOT INSERTED
CFUN:1
I have checked the Sim card wiring, I think it is corect.
I have tested with 2 cases: SIM PRESENCE signal wired to Vext (via 10K resistor) and grounded.
Any one can help me?

From the SIM300 datasheet, i understand that transmit burst may cause voltage drop and current consumption reaching levels of 2A.
1) what is this transmit burst?
2) is sending AT commands that requests data from the network concerned, for example AT+CSQ? and AT+CREG? constitutes as transmit burst?
3) does constant periodocal sending of AT+CSQ? and AT+CREG? at intervals of 3 seconds each drains the power supplied to SIM300?

thank you

I'm using Q24 from Wavecom it's look so good, www.wavecom.com, and Now I want to test my product with SIM300D,
I dontknow, can we connect 2 sim300D together without any Service supplier? it means, I have 2 SIM300D module, and I using them as Wireless transmitter, and receiver,
Can We transfer data between 2 SIM300D module, in local ?

Added after 1 hours 47 minutes:

where can i buy SIM module, anyone can let me know a store, I've visitted excelpoint, but so hard to buy a product,not same as DIY

Added after 1 hours 28 minutes:
