Some Nokia modems (e.g. C6) are able to send SMS messages via AT commands, but not receive or store them.

The Messaging interface could expose a flags property specifying what the modem can do (e.g. Send, Receive, Store).

For the case of the Nokia phones, we could then check whether the phone can:
 * Send messages, with e.g.:
    AT+CMGS=?
     OK
 * Store messages, with e.g.:
    AT+CMGW=?
     ERROR
 * Receive messages, with e.g.:
    AT+CNMI=?
     ERROR
    AT+CPMS=?
     +CPMS: (),(),()

Can you test whether the AT+CPMS="SM","SM","SM" hack allows your device to receive SMS?

I have here a Cinterion EHS6 (miniPCI express) with same issue, it doesn't report received SMS. As workaround I started ModemManager with '--debug' flag and executed:

   $ mmcli -m 0 --command="AT+CNMI=1,1"

Now the messages are reported well, but syslog gets tones of debug messages, and this is problematic for my tiny embedded system. Is there any way to execute the AT command without debug-mode? or another proposal is welcome! Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Luis

For the case, it can help anybody: the below command seems to solve my issue with debug messages flood:

    $ ModemManager --debug --log-file=/dev/null

BR, Luis

Could you open a new bugreport for this issue and send us the full debug log of ModemManager (i.e. when running with --debug)? We may need to improve what CNMI settings we set by default.
