        SMSPort.WriteLine("AT+CMGF=1" & vbCrLf) 
        'set service center address (which varies for service providers (idea, airtel))

Soooo where are you closing the port once the message is sent?? That could be your problem.

As it's extremely unlikely any of the regulars around here have the same modem, it's pretty much impossible for anyone to test your code and tell you what's wrong. Be prepared to receive nothing but guesses as to what the problem may be.

This doesn't change my answer at all. Your chances of finding someone with the same modem here, writing the same kind of application are very close to 0.

Still, you don't close the port when you're done sending the message. When you want to send a message you should be creating the SerialPort object, writing your message, then closing the SerialPort object.

You don't create these objects for the lifetime of your application. You create the objects, initialize the modem, send your message, the close and destroy the objects when your done sending the message...for every message you send!

Hello..,

I guess, this Modem is going to sleep mode after sometime. I have worked on this couple of years back. But I can suggest here something, may be you can try that.

Please check the modem documentation wherein any command available for the wakeup the modem, or any command available to set the modem to not going to sleep mode.
If not, I suggest you to send "AT" command in the intervals, if your application is not sending SMS(s) for longer time.
