[Ovmsdev] No GSM connection

For the second time within a month I have no GSM connection and I'm not
able to reestablish the connection.

The SIM card is "Congstar" Prepaid (with enough money on the card). The
Network is 2G and connections are normally without any problems here.

What I can see, is that I have a signal around -70 dBm, but can't get a
network registration:

Cellular Modem

MODEM Status
Model: SIM5360
Network Registration: Searching
Provider:
Signal: -69 dBm
Mode:
State: NetWait
Mux: Status up
PPP: Not running
GPS: Not running

I can't get an ICCID

Cellular modem configuration

SIM ICCID: (power cellular modem on to read) Power mode of cellular is
now on

This is the log output

The live events show this

And this is my module information

Last time this happened I was able to get the connection back by
performing some esotheric button pressing on "Start Modem", "Stop
Modem" and "Power cellular Modem on" in the WebUI, but now it does not
help.

I compiled the newest version yesterday and I did some reboots of the
module and I even pulled the fuse to completely power off my OVMS in
the car, but no success.

Is there anything I can do to do some more troubleshooting? Any
thoughts on possible causes?

Thanx

Regards

Chris
