<text>
Text assigned to the phone number. The maximum length for this parameter is given in test command response
<tlength>.
<used>
Value indicating the number of used locations in selected memory storage.
<location>
The location within phonebook memory at which the corresponding entry is located.
This location may be used for other commands (e.g., AT+CPBR or ATD><mem><n>)
<nlength>
Maximum length of phone number for "normal" locations. Depending on the storage, a limited number of
locations with extended memory is available per phonebook. Please refer to AT command AT+CPBW for detail.
<tlength>
Maximum length of <text> assigned to the telephone number. The value indicated by the test command is given
in octets. If the <text> string is given in GSM characters, each character corresponds to one octet. If the <text>
string is given in UCS2, the maximum number of characters depends on the coding scheme used for the alpha
field of the SIM according to GSM 11.11, Annex B. In the worst case the number of UCS2 characters is at least
one less than half the number of GSM characters.
Notes:
•
The command can be used for the phonebooks "SM", "FD", "ME" (cf. AT+CPBS).
•
Users should be aware that when using this AT command quickly after SIM PIN authentication, the SIM data
may not yet be accessible, resulting in a short delay before the requested AT command response is returned.
See Section 20.1, Restricted Access to SIM Data after SIM PIN Authentication.
Examples:
Example 1 – Using AT^SPBG without <RealLocReq>:
The numbers at the beginning of each line are not the memory locations in the phonebook, but only serial
numbers assigned to the entries' positions in the alphabetical list.
AT^SPBG=?
^SPBG: (1-33),20,17
AT^SPBG=1,33
^SPBG:1,"+999999",145,"Arthur"
^SPBG:2,"+777777",145,"Bill"
^SPBG:3,"+888888",145,"Charlie"
......................
Example 2 – Using AT^SPBG with <RealLocReq>:
AT^SPBG=?
^SPBG: (1-33),20,17
AT^SPBG=1,33,1
^SPBG:1,"+999999",145,"Arthur",27
^SPBG:2,"+777777",145,"Bill",6
^SPBG:3,"+888888",145,"Charlie",15
......................
The numbers at the end of each line are the memory locations in the phonebook and can be used for
dialing or editing phonebook entries:
AT+CPBR=27
+CPBR: 27,"+999999",145,"Arthur"
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. AT Commands for EDGE Modems (S000371G)
First run the AT^SPBG test command to find out the range of entries
stored in the current phonebook.
TA returns the range, where 33 is the number of entries stored in the
current phonebook.
Now, enter the write command. To obtain best results it is
recommended to query the full range of entries. TA returns
phonebook entries in alphabetical order.
First run the AT^SPBG test command to find out the range of entries
stored in the current phonebook.
TA returns the range, where 33 is the number of entries stored in the
current phonebook.
Now, enter the write command including parameter
<RealLocReq>=1 to get the actual location numbers.
