No incoming SMS

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi I have a very simple question. I use the Ltap LTE6 on my boat for internet access.
I use a sim with unlimited data. But, when 10Gb is reached, the provider sends a sms, using that sms i can add additional data.
In just want to receive these SMSs in my Inbox.

The problem is, that I do not get any incoming sms.

Using the app, Advanced Settings, Tools, SMS, SMS, I set:
Receive enabled : yes
LTE interface lte1

I tried leaving Secret and Allowed numbers empty → no incoming SMS
Then I set secret to “test” and added my mobile as Allowed number → no incoming SMS

What do I wrong?
thanks for any help!

set receive enabled and the interface is basically all you need to make it work. can you please post your config?

4

Same suggestion as one post above you.
Post your config.

how safe do you think it is to send your router’s config to the forum? the only changes that have been made are the firmware update

That’s a rather important piece of info you failed to mention the first time.
You never even mentioned what device you have, which version it currently uses, …
Downgrade then if it worked before and make support ticket with all required info so it can be investigated.

I understand you don’t want to provide your config but don’t expect anyone to be able to help in an efficient way then.
This is a user forum. Users helping other users.

Maybe it is just coincidence that issue appeared after ROS update because number of SMS messages stored on SIM reached limit, check this: https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/SMS

keep-max-sms (integer; Default: 0) Maximum number of messages that will be saved. If you set this bigger than SIM supports, new messages will not be received. Replaced with auto-erase parameter starting from RouterOS v6.44.6

If that is the issue, delete old messages in Inbox and set config keep-max-sms to some number below max number allowed by SIM storage. 10 can be safe unless you want more history. If is set to 0 (Default), same as replaced config auto-erase=no, can cause full SIM inbox if messages are not manually deleted and new messages will not be received:

SIM storage size is read automatically. When auto-erase=no new SMS will not be received if storage is full. Set auto-erase=yes to delete the oldest received SMS to free space for new ones automatically. Available starting from v6.44.6

had the same problem on an Ltap_2HnD (ROS 7.16.1 and 7.16.2)
It appeared that the setting SMS setting polling was default set to no, when I changed it to yes SMS messages were actually received. The setting survives reboot, not sure if it survives a ROS upgrade.

/tool/sms print       
           status: running
  receive-enabled: yes
             port: lte1
          channel: 0
           secret: MYSECRET
   allowed-number: 
          sim-pin: 
        last-ussd: 
      sms-storage: sim
          polling: no

Change the setting by

/tool sms set polling=yes

Which results in

/tool/sms print       
           status: running
  receive-enabled: yes
             port: lte1
          channel: 0
           secret: MYSECRET
   allowed-number: 
          sim-pin: 
        last-ussd: 
      sms-storage: sim
          polling: yes

Hope this helps for anyone who runs into this problem
