Hi Brandon. I am actually sending a string sms message from the inject node and not a time stamp. In any case something strange happened and the problem has fixed itself. I was exploring the /var/config/sms/outbox directory and saw that there was a directory named sending. Inside that directory were all the unsent messages from Node-RED. I just looked at some of the un-sent messages in vi and then went out of the directory. Right after that I sent a sms message from Node-RED and it worked! Since then I have sent a number of sms messages and it has worked every time. I know this sounds strange but the problem seems to have fixed by itself.

Can I manually delete all the files inside the “failed “sending” and “sent” directories? Or are they automatically deleted periodically?

Thanks!

Thanks for the prompt response!

I followed Brandon’s suggestion and send an sms message from the linux command line using a SSH client and it worked perfectly. I received the message on my cell phone. I tried it multiple times and it worked every time. Then I tried sending an sms message from Node-RED and it did not work. I am sending simple “Hello world” type of messages. My Node-RED program is very simple. It has an Inject input node and an sms output node. Inside the sms output node I have my phone number and a simple text message.

Thanks for your help!
