SMS receiving/processing is quite unstable

[fegul]

I'm using chan_dongle along with Raspberry PBX (my dongle is fully supported) and I keep running into some serious issues with chan_dongle's SMS support (currently I have it set to send all incoming SMS to email)

• If, for some reason, an incoming SMS arrives and the network or internet connection is not working, the SMS never gets forwarded by email and it sits in the SIM storage. The problem is that if this happens too many times (let's say the network is down for several hours) the SIM storage fills up, the emails never get sent, and you have to login manually, run an AT command, and delete all SMS in storage once the network is working again. There is no cron job that checks to see if there are any unread SMS on the SIM storage and attempts to process them on a regular basis.

• I keep getting the issue "Error parsing incoming message/can't parse OA" (same as issue #223) when it comes to transactional SMS that are sent by some automated systems. This causes the SMS to sit on the SIM card and take up space and cause the above problem I mentioned.

I really like where chan_dongle is going but it's not stable for most SMS use cases yet.

I have this error too. Are this project dead?

This does not have to be a problem if you want to receive all the sms centrally you can create a small script that sends the new data in the sms.txt to an api on another server
