Ring, Ring! Who's that callin'? It's your breadboard! Introducing Adafruit FONA MiniGSM, an adorable all-in-one cellular phone module that lets you add voice, text, SMS and data to your project in an adorable little package.
This module measures only 1.75"x1.25" but packs a surprising amount of technology into its little frame. At the heart is a GSM cellular module (we use the latest SIM800) the size of a postage stamp. This module can do just about everything. This version has an SMA connector.
Quad-band 850/900/1800/1900MHz - connect onto any global GSM network with any 2G SIM (in the USA, T-Mobile is suggested)
Make and receive voice calls using a headset OR an external 8Ω speaker + electret microphone, Send and receive SMS messages, Send and receive GPRS data (TCP/IP, HTTP, etc.), Scan and receive FM radio broadcasts (yeah, we don't exactly know why this was included but it works really well)
Onboard LiPoly battery charging circuitry so you ca take your project on the go. Use any 500mAh+ LiPoly or LiIon battery and recharge over the MicroUSB when necessary. Two LEDs let you know when its charging and done, Standard 4-pole TRRS headphone jack for use with Smartphone, Standard SIM slides into the back
Cellular modules can be a bit challenging to use, the FONA is intended for hackers and advanced makers. We're still adding library support for all the various things the FONA can do but there may be updates as FONA is used around the world! On its own, this module can't do anything. It requires a microcontroller to drive it! We suggest and use an Arduino but any 3-5V microcontroller with a UART can send and receive commands over the RX/TX pins.
