Every other AT command results in a 258: "phone is busy". I connected to the serial port with minicom and got a 258 twice. After I waited long enough eventually I got a cpas: 0 (without doing anything!) which means the modem is ready. After this I was able to connect to the internet with minicom and wvdial. I'm stuck. Does someone have a clue how to fix this issue? Or just an idea where to look next?It is a GSM modem with a SIM card. And that SIM card needs a PIN. You have toenter that pin with _after_ the CME ERROR message: AT+CPIN=1234Or simply let scmxx do it for you by doing something simple like setting thetime.
The modem replys to a AT+CPIN? with an error. And it replys with an error to AT+CPIN=****, too. Which is correct, if the pin is set, but totally wrong if it isn't. Sometimes it even spew out an error after AT&F which is impossible if I trust the docs. So for me this device is just heavily broken. (It's a MC35i revision 1.3) but I'm openminded enough to be conviced it itsn't .... if someone have a clue... :-)
