hello sergio,

thank you for your responses.

that is what i'm about to implement right now. unless the ascii jabber
inbetween contains 0x7e 0xff sequences, that should be doable with
reasonable effort.

i was afraid so when i first saw them, but i never ran into an
UNDER-VOLTAGE POWER DOWN condition so far; thing is, i'm running my
entire board off 3.3V, which is the threshold for the warning. the
module can do down to 3.2V, and a 2m2 cap in parallel with a 4u7 and
100n make sure it won't even if the usb power supply doesn't handle
bursts well.

i hope it's sufficient -- or are you confident that this is indication
of trouble even when running on 3v3?

honestly, i wasn't aware that such a thing exists; when it comes to
support, nothing the simcom website has looks like you'll ever talk to a
technician. could you point me to where i can reach their (possibly
local, paid if needed) tech support?

best regard
