Gammu cannot open device (DEVICEOPENERROR[2])

Question

I am using gammu-smsd 1.31.90, I made a udev rule for my USB 3g dongle but gammu-smsd can not connect to device. It says DEVICEOPENERROR[2]. How can I fix it?

udev-rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-rules.local

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1001", SYMLINK+="phone", GROUP="dialout"

You Have to config 2 files and edite 'port' and 'Connection' fields.

gammu-config

This config file is in '/home/$YOUR_USER_NAME/.gammurc' and config this one too:

nano /etc/gammu-smsdrc

set your connection field to 'at' and port field to 'ttyUSBx' which appear your system. Restart your gammu-smsd service, and if it's active it should work.

service gammu-smsd restart
service gammu-smsd status
