  1. Please try a non-abandoned fork of this repository: https://github.com/babca/python-gsmmodem

  2. What type od modem do you use?

  3. Have you checked all serial ports that the device registers?

  4. Are you able to connect to the modem manually (e.g. by picocom or screen)? The device should reply with OK after sending AT command. Be careful about newline characters.

Hi everyone,

I have it working on Raspberry Pi. Although I needed to use a USB hub (with power) because the Raspberry Pi itself does not provide enough power for the model to work. I think this is a common issue with USB modems and Raspberry Pies.

Maybe you are running into the same issue ?
