TRB140 - Send SMS not work

Hello,

I’m having a problem sending SMS via the API or directly from the device’s web interface.
From the web interface, if I try to send SMS, it gives me the error:
“Failed to send message”
and from the cli:
admin@TRB140:~$ gsmctl -S -s “0040760274974 TESTSMS”
[gsmctl_send_sms:22] error: ERROR: Failed to parse response

I should mention that if I send SMS from a phone to the device, it works and the SMS arrive. If I want to send SMS from the device to a phone number, it no longer works. I tested the SIM card in a physical phone and SMS works, especially since the SIM card is a subscription.

What can I do to solve the problem?


 Teltonika TRB1 series 2025

Device: TRB140
Kernel: 5.4.290
Firmware: TRB1_R_00.07.14.3
Build: 3ded04966cc
Build date: 2025-05-22 06:55:33

I changed Preferred network type = 3G/2G auto and it seems to work now. It seems that after the firmware update it was automatically set to 4G/3G/2G auto and with these settings it seems not to work.
Is there any limitation of the TRB140 device for 4G? I ask because the GSM provider also supports 5G so theoretically it should work with 4G too, right?

Hello

Theoretically, the device should be able to send SMS over the 4G network as well, provided that VoLTE is enabled. Could you please confirm whether VoLTE (Network → Mobile → Connection) was enabled?

Additionally, if possible, could you please provide:

  • The internal modem details from the Status → System page;
  • The output of the gsmctl -D -S -s "+<number> test" SMS sending command.

Thank you for the collaboration.

Best regards,

Hello,

With these settings it’s working (3G/2G):


admin@TRB140:~$ gsmctl -D -S -s “+40760274974 test”
GSMCTL modem[0]: Debug mode enabled
GSMCTL Modem id: 0
GSMCTL modem[0]: Calling Send SMS
GSMCTL modem[0] SMS: Checking input format
GSMCTL modem[0] SMS: Calling LGSM SEND SMS
GSMCTL modem[0] SMS: Checking called SMS send response label
SMS sent: 1

But, if I switch to 4G is not working:


admin@TRB140:~$ gsmctl -D -S -s “+40760274974 test”
GSMCTL modem[0]: Debug mode enabled
GSMCTL Modem id: 0
GSMCTL modem[0]: Calling Send SMS
GSMCTL modem[0] SMS: Checking input format
GSMCTL modem[0] SMS: Calling LGSM SEND SMS
[gsmctl_send_sms:22] error: ERROR: Failed to parse response
