This SIM900 GSM / GPRS Module is useful for using a cell phone network to talk to your microcontrollers wirelessly. Just wire it up to your microcontroller and you'll have quad-band GSM network access anywhere in the world! Pop in a GSM simcard to send/receive calls and messages from your projects like you would with a cell phone. There are three protocols you can use to send messages: Short Message Service, Audio, or GPRS Service.
