Caller ID reception by GSM modem

Technology
For the tech-heads amongst us,

if you should ever want to pick up caller id with a GSM modem, you should know that the usual AT commands to initialize the feature on the receiving modem don't work. So, for Google's benefit, these are useless:


  • AT+VCID=1

  • AT#CID=1



      • The correct string to use is:
      AT+CLIP=1

      Thanks to smotbd in this Experts Exchange article about a completely different problem (scroll to toward the bottom).
