4. Procedure to Interface with GSM/GPRS Shield In this example, the Arduino UNO is used to interface with GSM/GPRS Shield. See below procedure in order to interface with GSM/GPRS Shield in 1. 2. 3. 4.
Making call to phone Send sms to phone Receive call from phone Receive sms from phone
Step 1 Get the sample source code. In this sample source code, it contains Arduino‟s library files. Please refer to “How to Install Arduino Library User's Manual v1.0” in order to put Arduino‟s library files to correct location. Otherwise, the program will compile fail.
Step 2 Open GSM_Shield_Test Code.

Step 3 Inside source code, change the number[] value to the phone number you want to call to. And also change the text[] contents that you want to send to the phone. After this, burn the program to Arduino UNO.
Step 4 By using this library, the UART communication between GSM/GPRS Shield and Arduino UNO is via Arduino UNO‟s pin 2 (Rx) and pin 3 (Tx). Thus, we change the UART Connection Setting for GSM/GPRS Shield to pin 2 and pin 3 by changing the mini jumper on the GSM/GPRS Shield board. See below picture for mini jumper position.

Step 5 Insert SIM card into the GSM/GPRS Shield board. Before this, make sure the inserted SIM Card has enough credit and not expiry.
Step 6 Connect the antenna.

Step 7 Attach the GSM/GPRS Shield board on Arduino UNO.
Step 8 Plug in external power source with minimum 2 Ampere. In this example, 12V, 2 Ampere adapter is used.

Step 11 Open “Serial Monitor” and wait GSM/GPRS Shield boot up.
Wait system startup until “no call” display on the screen.
11 | P a g e
Step 12 For making a call to the phone, refer to the source code below. When the „c‟ command is given, the GSM/GPRS Shield will make call to the phone.
Thus, send „c‟ command to the GSM/GPRS Shield via “Series Monitor” in order to make a call to the phone.
12 | P a g e
Start calling from GSM/GPRS Shield to the phone.
The phone receives the call from GSM/GPRS Shield.
13 | P a g e
Step 13 To send sms to phone, refer to below source code.
Thus, send „s‟ command to the GSM/GPRS Shield via “Series Monitor” in order to send sms (Hello World) to the phone.
14 | P a g e
Start sending sms to the phone.
The phone receives the sms “Hello World” from GSM/GPRS Shield.
15 | P a g e
Step 14 For receiving a call from phone, just call the phone number of SIM Card which inserted on the GSM/GPRS Shield. The phone is being calling to GSM/GPRS Shield.
The “Serial Monitor” displays the phone number which is calling.
16 | P a g e
Step 15 For receiving sms from phone, just send the sms to the GSM/GPRS Shield. The phone sent a message “GSM shield test” to GSM/GPRS Shield.
The “Serial Monitor” displays “GSM shield test”.
