OK, fessing up right up front: I’m a “noob”, so please be patient with the following really stupid questions:
I see T-mobile has unlocked GSM cards for free, but I assume that won’t do me any good if I don’t have a T-mobile account, or is there a way to just communicate locally between GPRS shield and a nearby phone?
Is the simple solution here to buy an unlocked GSM with some account that has a limited number of hours or whatever (I don’t want to add an entire new “phone” to my existing plan while I’m just experimenting)
In the GPRS shield Wiki it talks about installing sscom32E. My guess is that this is simply a serial line terminal program and I can just use Zmodem instead, is this correct, or is there something special about sscom32e that makes it better for interacting with the GPRS?
If I can get past these basics, I am really interested in building the phone!!
I really like your comment about the size thing too, maybe skip the pcb and use point to point wiring and some really old-fashioned enclosure.
about the first 2 questions~ I am not familiar to~ But I can tell you that sscom32E is just a normal serial line terminal~ take it easy, you can use any terminal as you like !
Hi , good news. We want to make a new version of Arduinophone, maybe add a NFC, or wireless charger Hush, “God’s design must not be revealed to mortal ears.” Do you have some ideas? Maybe it turns more thin or big,
I had this working a little while ago, but I can’t remember how I had it working. I try to load the code and I get a few errors. I am using an Arduino Mega 2560, GPRS Shield V1.4, and TFT Touch Shield V1.0
I’m pretty sure I have all the libraries I need, and all the ones I have are in the Arduino library folder.
Here are the errors I get, can anybody help?!

Okay, I added those libraries, and now I’m getting different errors…
I’m not sure what it means by “TouchScreen does not name a type” but I have the touchscreen library in the library folder.
Here are the errors. Any ideas on these now?

Okay thank you so much! It’s working again, I think anyway
I currently don’t have a SIM card to use, so I can’t be certain. When I turn it on it comes to the screen where it shows the time (although I dont have the RTC hooked up) and the “CALL” and “SMS” buttons. The buttons don;t do anything though, will they work once I have a SIM card installed or should they work regardless?
one more thing, do you use GPRS shield ever, if so, maybe you should modify the code about calling or sending sms, cu’z I don’t know if it can works outside of China!
