    Took my laptop with me to check cams yesterday so I wouldn't have to switch cards. After putting the pics on my laptop and switching the batteries on my Code Black it stopped sending pictures. I realized it wasn't working before I left the farm so I went back to check that camera and try sending a test picture and the cam kept going through the 10 steps and then giving me a 'network busy 3933' error. All of the options in the menu were still the same. I thought maybe it just needed some time but Istill haven't received any pics today and it's not responding to my #200#on# commmand. Any ideas.

    NETWORK BUSY:
    1. There isn’t enough signal to successfully send the image.
    2. Also may happen when there is no money balance for the SIM card or provider has given you the wrong sim card and you will need to contact them and have them provide you with the correct SIM card.


    My guess SIM card

    I had a problem with a code black a while back, it quit sending pics a couple of times and the SIM card was the problem. Pulled it out and stuck it back in and it's been okay since but long term I'm probably gonna replace the card to be on the safe side.

    Thanks. I had aSIM card issue when I first got it, but I got a new SIM and everything has been working well. The cell service is really good so I doubt that's the issue. Last time I went to the AT&T store to add money I didn't feel very confident that the worker had done the 'right thing' with the $10 I paid, so there is a chance that's the issue. Just wierd timing that it would stop when I check it. I'll try to go back and take out the SIM and re-insert it, like Mike suggested, and see if that solves anything. Otherwise it might be another trip to the AT&T store.

    I ended up calling AT&T last night and sure enought, the person at the AT&T store had put the wrong 'plan' on my SIM card last week. Just a weird coincidence that it happened to stop working immediately after I switched batteries. They were able to switch it to the 1000 text plan over-the-phone, and the camera is now responding to my #200#On# command. I have not received any pics though. Could just be that no deer have been in front of the camera since last night, but I'm wondering if I forgot to do something when I switched batteries. All the setting is the menu looked the same so I just flipped the cam to 'on'. Anything else I needed to do?

    I always put the camera in set up and let it login

    You can text it #500# and it should end you a pictures.

    I did the set-up/log-in part.

    The #500# command has never worked for me.

    I'll give it a few days to see if pics start coming. If not I'll go out and check the cam.

    Holy crap! I just sent the #500# command and it worked for the first time since I bought the cam. Now this cam is even better. Looking forward to picking up a few more.

    Thanks for the help, Pat.
