Error - Unable to open port...

Hello,

I am using GsmComm.GsmCommunication library and I have a problem while sending messages.

I am sending more than one message at a time in a loop. There are about 150 messages to send in my database. When I am sending the messages, sometimes it sends 25 and sometimes 30 messages, then it shows the error "unable to open port" meaning it doesn't send all messages at a time. When I run my application again, it sends 20 or 30 messages then I get the same error.

I am using a Nokia e50 device.

Can anyone please tell me the solution?

Thanks in Advance.

Regards

I guess the port is becoming too busy to send/receive any data.

I would suggest you to wait for few seconds after sending some messages (say 10 or 15). So do something like this:

C#

for (int i = 0; i < messageCount; i++)
{
    if (i % 15 == 0)
    {
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000);
    }
    //code for sending message
}

Here after every 15 messages I am stopping the processing for 10 seconds.

I hope you got the idea. Try this and let me know if it helps. :thumbsup:

Glad to help you!
I would also like to suggest you to do some testing with various time delay to determine the best interval.
