Function
In this case, the current consumption of module will be reduced to the
minimal level and the module can still receive paging message and
SMS.
Software is active. Module is registered to the network, and the module
is ready to communicate.
Module is ready for data transmission, but no data is currently sent or
received. In this case, power consumption depends on network
settings.
There is data transmission in progress. In this case, power consumption
Data
is related to network settings (e.g. power control level);
uplink/downlink data rates, etc.
AT command "AT+CFUN=0" AT+CSCLK=1 can be used to set the
module to a minimum functionality mode without removing the power
supply. In this mode, the RF part of the module will not work and the
SIM card will not be accessible, but the serial port and USB port are
still accessible. The power consumption in this mode is lower than
normal mode.
AT command "AT+CFUN=4" can be used to set the module to flight
mode without removing the power supply. In this mode, the RF part of
