Phone does not support enabled echo, it can not work with Gammu!
Init:GSM_TryGetModel failed with error TIMEOUT[14]: No response in specified timeout. Probably phone not connected.

Any recent Gammu version should work much better with the phone. I've just added proper initialization for upcoming release.

I'm tying to compile and run the current master but the modem seems not working with your modification.

Are you sure you are using correct port? This one doesn't seem to work at all...
