raspberry pi compatible modem capable of SMS/3G

bhuvan
bhuvan over 11 years ago

Hi Guys

 

I request you guys to suggest a list of USB modems (3G/4G) which work with the pi in the USA.

 

My requirements are:

 

1. good 3G/4G connection

2. External antenna support

3. SMS function supported (outgoing). gammu or something else.

4. Api compatible

5. Directly detcted as a ethernet device, without sakis3G. I am really skeptical about sakis3G, as I belive there are lot of connection issues. I am ok with using sakis3g if I can get it connected automatically o boot, and if there will be not much connection issues.

 

http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeriphera ... 3G_Dongles

 

I went though the above link.

But I am not able to find out which ones support both 3g/sms

 

This is because recently I bought a set of unlocked huawei E353 modems from another country. But they dont seems to work here in USA. I am getting only a 2G signal here. But the frequency bands are the same.

 

Also, I bought a set of ZTEMf70 modems which gave a good 3g signal, but did not support sms.

 

SO, I request you to please suggest a modem which will work fine with 3G/SMS.

Also, if you know any modems compatible with sakis3g, do you recommend it?? because sakis3G seems kind of buggy to me.

Please reply back with the modems and links to them would be helpful.

    Have you had a look at Linkwave's PiloT? It provides a 3G connection and GPS and SMS is supported. A 4G variant is due to be released soon: The PiloT - Add a 3G mobile data connection to the Raspberry Pi
