Unable to send SMS using Huawei e3131

Hi Guys,

Im not sure the issue is related directly to the Huawei e3131 but I have ran out of ideas! Messages sent from the web portal seem to go in to the queue but just sit at pending and nothing is received by the destination phone. My setup is as follows

Raspberry Pi 3 (latest version) Latest distribution and all packages up to date
Huawei e3131 USB Modem (unlocked)
GiffGaff SIM
Latest version of PlaySMS and SMSTools 3

You can see that messages are being queued:

Any Ideas?

UPDATE: I now have this working, turns out it was the baud rate on the modem configuration! I noticed that everything runs as root, is that normal? even the web directories are owned by root instead of www-data?

It would be useful if you detailed your baudrate findings so people like me who have a similar issue with pending messages know what to look for or change? :wink:
