Hi, has anyone ever successfully sent or received a sms on their Optus AC800S modem?
I tried sending a sms to the phone number of the sim card in the AC800S. Nothing happened.
I tried sending a sms from the router to my mobile phone. It said, message failed to send.
I tried following the prompts about how to troubleshoot sms on the Optus website but none of the test sms's I sent are visible on my PC
The AC800S modem is letting us access the internet so it's working. The mobile phone I used to send the test message to the modem is working - it can send sms's to other numbers.
It's not a dealbreaker but I just wanted to know out of curiosity if the sms on the modem could be set up to work.
Thanks
Lin

Hi @DIYfamily
Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
Please be informed that AC800s can only receive SMS messages. Kindly check with Optus to see if the SIM card has a limitation on text and if it is just a data card.
