Description
Overview
The GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) Shield is a new nonvoice value added service that delivers GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900MHz performance for voice, SMS, Data, and Fax in a small form factor and with low power consumption. It is controlled via AT commands (GSM 07.07 ,07.05 and SIMCOM enhanced AT Commands), and fully compatible with Iteaduino/Arduino and Mega.
Features
- Quad-Band 850/ 900/ 1800/ 1900 MHz
- GPRS multi-slot class 10/8
- GPRS mobile station class B
- Compliant to GSM phase 2/2+Class 4 (2 W @850/ 900 MHz)
- Class 1 (1 W @ 1800/1900MHz)
- Control via AT commands (GSM 07.07 ,07.05 and SIMCOM enhanced AT Commands)
- Low power consumption: 1.5mA(sleep mode)
- Operation temperature: -40°C to +85 °C

- Works! Review by Jeffrey

Thanks to Ricardo JL Rufino I got this shield working with the version of the Google code he recommended. Use Tortoise SVN to checkout the branch he listed because the root version doesn't work. (Posted on 1/18/13)Price Value Quality - fairly cheap, and works well Review by Keeby

I've been using it for a project of mine, it is fairly cheap, and works well, just make sure you use it with an Uno, and also make sure you have the right library. (Posted on 9/17/12)Quality Price Value - Nice and easy to use Review by Ricardo JL Rufino

Muito bom essa shield, abre grandes possibilidades para os projetos com arduino.
Usei ele com um Arduino UNO v2. e funcionou perfeitamente.
Aconselho usar a Biblioteca: http://gsm-shield-arduino.googlecode.com/
A versão: ../branches/SIM900IDE100/ , pois ele tem suporte a comunicação via HTTP
Os pinos/jupers do Shield devem ser TX(posicao 2) , RX(posicao3) para a comunicação com o arduino.

Very good this shield, offers great potential for projects with arduino.
I used it with an Arduino UNO v2. and it worked perfectly.
I advise using the Library: http://gsm-shield-arduino.googlecode.com/
Version: .. / branches/SIM900IDE100 / because it supports communication via HTTP
The pins / jupers the Shield should be TX (position 2), RX (posicao3) for communication with the arduino. (Posted on 8/19/12) - Great! Review by Symond

Maybe i should have selected DHL/UPS as my shipping method. It takes "ages"(around 15 business days) to receive it. It rather challenges my patience. Buttttt, a pretty good product!!!!! (Posted on 8/17/12)Value Quality Price
