So recently I found this tutorial online about the SIM808. It looked super cool so I ordered the sim808 evb 3.2.4 off amazon. Hooked up the module and connected the RX (11) and (10) TX pins.
Here is the code I'm working with tried to follow along as best I could with the tutorial but now I am completely confused, purchased a SIM card activated the SIM card and it seems to be connecting just fine
In the serial monitor sometimes I receive this: 14:05:06.243 -> Init Success, please send SMS message to me!
But most of the time I'm receiving this: 14:04:37.586 -> Sim808 init error
