In Services->SMS Gateway->Email To SMS configured POP3 email account. I already checked Gmail (enabled POP3 in account options) and o2.pl service with have native enabled POP3.
Tried send email where topic is 00048xxxxxxxxx (048 Poland counry code and xxxxxxxxx 9 digits phone number in Plus Mobile) but not received any SMS.

Answer 1

Hello,

I suspect that there may be something wrong with email settings. I would like to suggest to you try sending test emails to your email account first (to check if your email configuration is working).

You can send test emails in Status > Events Log > Events reporting.

Regards.

I don't really understand what sending e-mails have to the Email to SMS service.
In Email to SMS is configured incoming not outgoing mail.

However, I tested the sending of e-mails by Events Reporting and unfortunately it doesn't work, it returns "Mail send failed".
I also upgraded firmware to latest version but it didn't change anything.

Update: Tested also on 1.14.37 firmware, still not working :(

Hi,

Could you post a screenshot of your email configuration? (make sure to blur out any sensitive data)

Events reporting


Email to SMS

Thank you very much. 

I have tested both scenarios.

At the first time, I was unsuccessful and I have enabled non trusted devices in my Gmail settings. After that everything went smooth with these configuration settings:

Have you tried disabling the 2-way authentication factor on your Gmail account and turning on the less secure app settings?

I don't have 2-way autentication for this account.
Turned on less secure app but still have error when test sending.

I not only test this on gmail, tested on o2.pl email where don't have any restrictions like secured apps etc. and also no working :(

---

Have you enabled POP/IMAP settings? Could you provide a screenshot as well of these settings?

---

POP is enabled, IMAP disabled

---

Please enable IMAP settings too. I had to enable it for my account before it worked.

Still not working on gmail.

I tried email from work and pass send test but email to SMS still not working.

In CLI i get something like that

I added a brand new email from my company mailbox. The mail is read because it disappears from the mailbox, but the SMS is not sent.

When, after receiving an e-mail message by the router, I manually send an SMS from it, I get an SMS on the phone with the combined content from what was in Email to SMS and what I entered in the manual SMS egzample:

EMAIL to SMS content

1234

Manual SMS content

5678

I received on phone SMS with

1234

5678

As if the router keeps in memory the content of the SMS that it should send automatically after receiving the email, but does not send it and adds it to the content of the SMS sent manually.

Is there any chance of launching this service? I have already spent too much time testing and there is still no solution. I will be forced to give up the equipment and look for another one because the deadlines are chasing me.

There's a weird bug in the /usr/bin/email_to_sms lua script

line 66: change this:

        response=os.execute("gsmctl -O "..modem.." -Sb "..number)

to this:

        response=os.execute("gsmctl -O "..modem.." --sms --send-b64 "..number)

line 78: change this:

        response=os.execute("gsmctl -O "..modem.." -Sb "..number.." -L "..limit)

to this:

        response=os.execute("gsmctl -O "..modem.." --sms --send-b64 "..number.." -L "..limit)
