Feature Request: Allow to send SMS messages from MAX products

[Steve_Chandler]

Hi,

FEATURE REQUEST

I really have a requirement to send text messages from my BR1 Mini. My mobile Vendor (O2) makes it REALLY hard to find how much data is remaining on a SIM card. But they do allow requesting this information via SMS.

Even my cheap dongle allows me to send texts from the device.

Please Peplink would you add this feature?

I second this, adding SMS or even SMS command functionality is a great addition in my opinion.

Does this have anything to do with the SIM Toolkit:

How to Use USSD Codes on Cellular-Enabled Routers

To access your router's USSD functionality, navigate to Advanced > Misc Settings > SIM Toolkit, and the following menu will appear: [image] Enter your USSD code under the USSD Code text field and click Submit. [image] You will receive a confirmation. To check the SMS response, click Get. [image] You will receive the response to your USSD code. It may take a minute or two for it to show up. [image]

I am in the same situation. I currently need to pull my SIM out of the BR1 each time I want to check the balance, because my ISP does this via SMS rather than USSD ! I would be very appreciative if you would add this feature. Thanks!

Some mobile vendors in the UK do not support USSD requests, so SMS requests are a much more universal and consistent way to request information like how much data left on a SIM.

I have used this method with success on other mobile devices, but on the Peplink I have to move the SIM card to a different device to get usage information, and as I said in my original post I think that Peplink should add this feature.
