GSM equipment and GSM network error codes
GSM equipment and GSM network error codes
We try to keep this list up-to-date, so please send your comments to support@activexperts.com.
To show these errors on your GSM device, instead of the standard "ERROR" response, send the following commands to the GSM device:
AT+CMEE=1
AT&W
The 'AT+CMEE=1' command is used to turn on the extended error mode, which shows the CME or CMS error code, the 'AT&W' command is used to store this setting into the phone or modem. To turn off extended error codes, use 'AT+CMEE=0'.
Some error codes (especially in the +CMS ERROR: 5xx range), are very device specific. For the meaning of this errors, the best is to refer to the GSM modem's AT command reference manual.
