Gings is it possible to add something to scan for all networks available 2g/3g wise? Like the MTN app // see attached
Yes, it is possible. I don't think it is particularly useful though, and you can do the same in just about any mobile phone.

That was a one reason I had to switch to Mobile Partner. The other reason (and much more frequent) was when I received notificaton about SMS, which MDMA cannot read.
The main problem when switching to Mobile Partner when connection is active is messing up with statistics, so if MDMA could handle incoming SMS's, it would be great, please. :)
 
Can you implant RSRP (dBm) and RSRQ (dB) reads please?

And thanks for your great work. :)
 
Do you see any value for ^LTERSRP in the bottom-right corner of MDMA?

I think those are are RSRP and RSRQ, see What is ^LTERSRP?

Nope. :(

Hey Guys, I have a really noob question to ask because I am not familiar with Vodacom contract deals and also because of a little paranoia :p I have a Vodacom K3770 HSPA modem from a previous contract, the old contract sim has been removed and I have put in a prepaid Cell C sim card. Now I know Vodacom has been funny with device locking in the past and so on. Now my noob question is that if I do use a prepaid Cell C sim card in this contract modem, would Vodacom know? and will they try to 'bill' me for somethig? xD I would like to use the prepaid Cell C sim card in this modem and connect with MDMA and all of that is fine and working :) But like I said, my concern now is if Vodacom wants to try bill me for using their modem or something xD I know its far fetched, but I can never know with Vodacom these days xD

Haha definitely not :D their contact point with you is their sim card. Which is not in the modem anymore. So bill you for what :D
 
Cell C Sim in Vodacom supplied USB Modem

Enjoy your Modem with a Cell C sim card. You can download the modem dialer software for the modem type from modem manufacturers site. Determine the make of modem you have and download the software. I did the same with my sons modem and it works fine.

No, they don't know, they can't bill you too, but they have tried to be clever. ;)
If you installed such modem, you have probably Vodafone dashboard installed too. It loads to the system at startup and will prevent other dashboards from accessing modem. Go to the options menu and tick two options:
- Do not load at startup
- Unload from systray on exit

Now, when you exit Vodafone dashboard, you can use MDMA.

Alternatively you can uninstall Vodafone bloatware completely, but it will also uninstall drivers. Go to the Vodafone folder and copy drivers folder to a different location. Uninstall software and then install drivers from your own location.
 
USSD in Option GTM382

I have been using MDMA on dozen PCs since a few years already with Option Globetrotter cards GE0301 and am very thankful for the MDMA tool. Now i tried the newest version of MDMA with GTM382, only partial luck with different drivers:
v5.0.12 - card detected, although the USSD does not work which is crucial feature to me.
v5.1.28 - card is NOT detected
v5.1.40 - card is NOT detected
While using the oldest driver (5.0.12), i tried also running MDMA with different /ussd: parameters, no luck. The session initializes, but nothing else is happening.

Please advise, Thanks.

P.S. Otherwise the connectivity via NDIS interface is ok.

Can you compare what Device Manager shows with the different driver versions?
Especially the Modems, Network Adapters and Ports sections.
Something like this:

In all cases it is:

GlobeTrotter MO40x - Modem Interface
GlobeTrotter MO40x - Network Interface
GlobeTrotter MO40x - Application Interface (COM6)
GlobeTrotter MO40x - Diagnostics Interface (COM5)
and one additional "GlobeTrotter MO40x" under USB controllers.
In the meantime i found another driver version "5.0.20", which allows MDMA to detect device, too. So it looks like in my particular setup 5.0.X is better than 5.1.X. However, USSDs are still the issue.

I also plugged in one of my older devices (GX0301) into the same machine, got USSD without problems.

Are you sure it is exactly the same between 5.0 and 5.1 drivers?
Something must be different that causes MDMA to detect the device with the 5.0 driver and not the 5.1 driver.

Are you sure the GTM382 can do USSD? Does the manufacturer state that it can?

You are perfectly right, i did not notice:

Got it! Got the USSDs from GTM382. Even though i could not find it clearly stated in the specifications, i presumed USSDs had to be supported. I cannot say what fixed it, i played a lot with enabling/disabling interfaces via AT_OIFACE command.
