10.3 Limitation and caution when using remote AT command
This feature will not ‘judge’ the result of executing the command, so care has to be taken not to enter improper
command that make the modem becoming out of control:
1. Never send ‘interactive’ AT command by SMS, e.g. AT+CMGS=... This feature cannot return the prompt to the
sender for second input
2. Always wait for the return SMS with AT responses before you send another SMS AT command.
3. It could be in some case (e.g. network failure) the modem cannot return response SMS. The modem will try
sending response SMS for three times max. If still not successful it will abort.
