Thanks for the offer Kevin. There are still a couple of things I want to try before I get to that point - next step is to get hold of a Vodafone SIM as that is the only other network with coverage here. Matt On 30 September 2013 09:10, Kevin Sharpe ZCW < kevin.sharpe@zerocarbonworld.org> wrote:
If no one has any better suggestions then send me the hardware and I'll plug it into my car and test.

There is a historical oddity in the UK as T-Mobile (TMO UK) and Orange used to be two separate networks, but are now the same company. Both physical networks work at times, but both also fail at times. This is true in a wide area (I have tried as far south as Perth which is about 100 miles away) so it can't be an issue with the local cell tower. There is no O2 coverage in my area of the country (despite what their coverage map claims). I think I may need to return the hardware.

What's the coverage map in your area like, Matt?

I use giffgaff (O2 network) and it works like a charm all over the UK.
I couldn't get GEO-sim to work although I gave up quickly because giffgaff was easy.

If the carrier was the problem, it would be concurrent with the problems I had when I tried to put a non-compatible SIM in the unit.
Matt, I can recommend O2… if you're having problems with signal in the area.
I would suggest you run it on the bench for a dummy test in generic mode? See if it connects then -- as Mark says, with GSM Lock…

Matt,
One thing glaring is the flapping between Orange and TMO. Can you try to GSMLock to just one (preferred) provider (using PARAM_GSMLOCK, #13)?
The log itself shows "PDP: DEACT" - which means it can't establish GPRS. The COPS gets through ok, so it managed to connect to GSM ok - which would seem to indicate the antenna and basic network reception was ok.
Regards, Mark.

I have been having issues with my OVMS module not connection.
When it does connect I tend to find it has very good signal strength, but it often will not connect when I power it on and I find that it drops off quite often.
I received my RS232/USB adaptor so logged the following data, any use?
P.S. This is with a Global GeoSIM, in the UK
