Thanks, that's beginning to make sense. Do I understand "unsolicited response string" to mean the modem can send a +CREG code at any time, not just in response to an AT query? If so then i can see why it's better not enabled.

Inelegant though it is, i think NM does need a way to define custom init (& de-init?) strings externally. This has been the bane of programming modems ever since Hayes invented the AT command set :(.
