Description
SIM900 GSM/GPRS shield serves as a solid launching point for you to get started with IoT. SIM900 GSM/GPRS Shield is a GSM modem that can be integrated into a great number of IoT projects. You can use this shield to accomplish almost anything a normal cell phone can: SMS text messages, making or receiving phone calls, connecting to the internet through GPRS, TCP/IP, and more.
The GPRS Shield is based on the SIM900 module from SIMCOM and compatible with Arduino and its clones.
The shield allows you to achieve SMS, MMS, GPRS, and audio via UART by sending AT commands (GSM 07.07, 07.05, and SIMCOM enhanced AT Commands).
The shield also has the 12 GPIOs, 2 PWMs, and an ADC of the SIM900 module (they are all 2V8 logic) present onboard.
