Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. Wireless GSM/GPRS AT Commands (Document Number S000293I) 49
Write Phonebook Entry +CPBW
Description: This command writes a phonebook entry in location number <index> in the current phonebook memory
storage.
Notes:
• “RC” and “MC” phonebooks could be erased only by +CPBW. Adding a field and/or modifying a
field is not allowed for these phonebooks.
• This command is not allowed for “EN”, “LD”, “MC”, “RC”, “MT”, and “SN” phonebooks (they
cannot be written).
• If the AT+WCOS=1 command was used, the request would include the “Contact” structure.
Values: <index> Integer type value depending on the capacity of the phonebook memory.
<number> Phone number in ASCII format.
<type> TON/NPI (Type of address octet in integer format).
Note: The value is 145 if the dialing string (<number> response value) includes the
international access code character +; otherwise, the value is 129 (Example: a <type>
value of 17 will be written as 145).
<text> String type. Maximum length of <text> field is:
• For the Mobile Equipment phonebook, 30 ASCII characters.
• For the ADN phonebook, SIM dependent (use AT+CPBW=?)
Notes:
• For the <text> parameter all strings starting with “80”, “81” or “81” are
considered in UCS2 format.
• The +CSCS (Select Character Set) command does not affect the format for
phonebook entries.
<contact> Contact structure.
<Phb_Group> Phonebook group number in which the entry should be saved.
The range is 1 to 10. If the entry must not be saved in a group, <Phb_Group> = 0 or
can be omitted.
