In my area they shut down 2G at least a year ago and all my tracking devices quit working. I bought a 3G unit and have yet to get the messaging and data working. It will receive and act on text messages but no replies. It can receive and make voice calls.

Unfortunately most of our FedEx packages are delivered from a location about 3 hours drive from here. They have no customer pickup hours and you cannot have them leave the package at any commercial location. This is even though there is another FedEx location barely 7 minutes from my house...

I tried a T-Mobile SIM here and had the same results as you are seeing. Also in a previous post you will see I tried the newer 3G model and had the same results. It worked for a bit and then no more. I returned the unit and the vendor proved to me that it worked. I think the carriers here...

They should install dash cams so we could see some of these drone spottings for real.

Yes just like it shows in the drawing on the link.

I'm doubting overheat being the issue in my case. I put the Phantom away after a short flight where it was working fine. Due to several reasons it was several months before I flew it again. Black screen right out of the case. I reflashed the board and it has worked for several flights in 90...

DJI doesn't care about something as old as the 2+. I did buy a replacement wifi module and the case on the replacement one is full of holes. I will use the reflashed one until it fails again and then use the new one. I still have my doubts about the heat being the cause. I simply flew my...

I seriously doubt it has anything to do with heat but that is the general consensus. Just in case I don't idle mine without the props running and I changed the live feed to lower resolution/speed.

From another thread on this forum: DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ Plus Blank Screen Corrupt NAND fix

Assuming you are talking about the wifi board reflash, it worked for mine.

I just thought I would post that I received the USB to serial adapter today, reflashed the board per the instructions here and my video is working again. I had to run the command line entries a few times before the memory actually was flashed. I have to wonder if heat is really the problem...

I believe the RF-V16 is 2G only. If your provider dropped 2G service like AT&T did it will not work. I just bought a 3G Tracker RF-V45 and it worked well for a couple of days but now I am having problems with it so I will not recommend it at this point unless I solve the problem.

What carrier is the SIM card you are using?

Here is the sad story on your problem if the RFV18 is 2G. AT&T (H20) turned off their 2G service at the end of 2016. My tracker and my Fortress Total Security alarm panel quit working at the same time. You might try a T-Mobile SIM card. Fortress sent me a T-Mobile SIM card to use in the...

Had to wait 397 days after ordering to get this Hellcat - just because I refused to pay the ridiculous "Market Adjustments" most dealers were charging -
