Yeah, I had some issues if I didn't use an Antenna for the SIM800L module and also saying inside my house the internet struggled to maintain the connection.

You think that source of this problem is SIM800L or something with PPPoS lib ?

alvarowolfx commented 5 years ago

I think that is related with the network signal strength, because you were able to connect sometimes, but the network is not maintaining the connection, I had similar issues when I tried to use without a antenna or powering with the wrong voltage the SIM800l module.
