From within Mobile Partner, select Tools/Options/Text Message and ensure that “New Message Save Mode” is set to “Save on SIM/USIM card or device”. To correct this problem, it is very important that the Huawei Mobile Partner software be configured not to remove received SMS messages from the SIM card. There is an important consideration that the Mobile Partner software, by default, will try to process received SMS messages, and may remove these messages from the modem before NowSMS is able to process them. The modem lock-up problems do not seem to occur if the “Mobile Partner” software is active along with NowSMS.

The E160 is bundled with some associated software called “Mobile Partner”. However, just when we were about to give up on the E160, we stumbled upon a solution to its reliability problems. The most frequent problem was that after a couple of hours, the modem would become unresponsive, and NowSMS would be unable to communicate with the modem.īecause of this problem, we actually added a configuration option in the 2009.10.21 release of NowSMS to allow NowSMS to reboot the PC as a “last resort” effort to try to recover a non-responsive modem. We tried two different E160 modems on at least four different computers, and were consistently frustrated with how unreliable this modem was. Unfortunately, this modem has been one of the most difficult and frustrating modems for us to test. Unlocked versions of this modem are avaialable from multiple web sites.) (In the UK alone, we’ve seen this modem offered by 3, O2 and T-Mobile. This modem is readily available in many countries, as many mobile operators sell this modem as part of a mobile broadband package. The Huawei E160 is an “ok” modem to use with NowSMS to send and receive SMS and MMS messages. Topic Keywords: 3G modem, GPRS modem, GSM modem, USB modem
