Is the OVMS server at tmc.openvehicles.com port 6867 down today? On the iPhone app the antenna icon is just blinking gray, and an attempt to manually connect with TCP to that port gets refused.

Same here and the IP address is not reachable.

ping is often not a reliable test for connectivity because the target system or some network component in between may block ICMP packets for various reasons, typically a false belief that it enhances security. In this particular case, I had tested a TCP connection to port 80, and that worked, but the connection to port 6867 was refused.
I installed mine and all went fine. Most time was spent on disabling the PIN code on the SIM card. My carrier told me I needed to buy some hardware to do so, but I found a free way that could help others here.. I downloaded the trial of Dekart SIM Manager and used a Omnikey 3021 card reader, and with 2 clicks the job was done.
Look inside the OVMS box. You will see how the wires which are paired up in the connector split, with one set going to each board. You can make the splice there and maybe use a small wire nut. I had some trouble with my V1 connector and ended up getting a new connector and pins to fix it. The new V2 OVMS has a much better connector/cable assembly.
I think it may be time to get a v2 module.

Well my v2 module showed up tonight and I'm having no luck getting it to work with my H2O sim card. I can get the module up and running to the point where I can SMS back and forth with it to set command and make queries, but I can't get GPRS to fire up no matter what I do. From what I can tell, I should be able to issue the following command and everything should start working:
GPRS att.mvno - -
But the module will never connect to GPRS after this point. Anybody have any tips, or should I just toss the H2O sim and try out another vendor? Argh....

There is a slide switch on the circuit board. Position the switch away from the LED's for GPRS, towards the LED's for SMS only.
