HTTPREAD missing characters with Arduino and SIM90

Question

I am using a SIM900 module with my Arduino and it is missing characters although it is returning the right number of characters expected. I have ERROR on AT+SAPBR=1,1 and AT+HTTPINIT so I am not sure if this is the reason for it. Im not sure how to fix these issues either.

AT+CGATT?

+CGATT: 1

OK
AT+CGATT=1

OK
AT+SAPBR=3,1,"CONTYPE","GPRS"

OK
AT+SAPBR=3,1,"APN","mobile.o2.co.uk"

OK
AT+SAPBR=1,1

ERROR
AT+HTTPINIT

ERROR
AT+HTTPPARA="URL","http://www.xxxxxxxxxxx.com/temp/"

OK
AT+HTTPACTION=0

OK

+HTTPACTION:1,200,56
AT+HTTPREAD

+HTTPREAD:56
{"type":"dOK

My function that reads characters as they come in:

void whileAvailable() {
  char data;
  while (SIM900.available()) {
    data=SIM900.read();
    if (data>0) Serial.print(data);
  }
}

I believe the function is reading characters fine however I am not sure why it is failing the find the rest of the characters

This is due to Serial buffer overflow of arduino uno or mega you use. Increase the buffer size so that they will accommodate more bytes; and those data can be displayed.
