When you try them out thru your Arduino, did you sent AT commands follow with CR+LF, not only CR ?

Thank you for your answer !!
Both don't work..
When I connect it to the arduino I don't take nothing like " ready " or other answer from board..

With most other stuff:
Tx -> Rx
Rx -> Tx

With some Arduino:
Tx -> Tx
Rx -> Rx

As if life wasn't hard enough without complications. See if that helps.
