im trying to update ThingSpeak from a SIM808 but I'm getting a network error. Please check below and let me know if there is anything wrong in my methodology.

I'm using terminal.exe to send commands via RS232.

AT
OK
AT+CREG?
+CREG: 0,5 //connected in roaming
AT+SAPBR=3,1,"Contype","GPRS"
OK
AT+SAPBR=3,1,"APN","www" //VODAFONE INDIA "www" is APN (as per the operator)
OK
AT+SAPBR=3,1,"USER","" //blank (as per the operator)
OK
AT+SAPBR=3,1,"PWD","" //blank  (as per the operator)
AT+SAPBR=1,1
OK
AT+HTTPINIT
OK
AT+HTTPPARA="CID","1"
OK
AT+HTTPARA="URL","https://api.thingspeak.com/update?api_key=MY_KEY&field1=VALUE"
OK
AT+HTTPACTION=0
+HTTPACTION: 0,603,0

Note: while I'm typing in the browser url box, https://api.thingspeak.com/update?api_key=MY_KEY&field1=VALUE, I can update my field. I can make calls, send SMS. I have an internet pack.

Please help.

    You're using HTTP commands to perform an HTTPS request. You need to use the HTTPS commands instead. Read the SIM808 manual for the right commands. – Majenko♦ Mar 12 '17 at 14:07

It worked with changing AT+HTTPARA="URL","http://api.thingspeak.com/update?api_key=MY_KEY&field1=VALUE" (from https:// to http://)

You have to send this command: AT+HTTPSSL=1
