SIM808: No communication when powering Arduino Mega

Hello,

I'm powering the SIM808 shield with a 10 volts battery. Arduino Mega is powered through USB. Doing like this, the communications between both through the serial port 1 is OK.

However, when I also power Arduino with the 10 volts battery through Vin, the serial comunication stops to work. I've used another trafo (in order to try it with and independent power supply) but the result is the same. No communication.

Communication between PC and Arduino though USB to debug my code is always fine. GND of both circuits are connected together.

¿Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks.
