Sample code to receive SMS using SIM900 and Arduino

Post by Saman » Mon Feb 03, 2014 11:01 pm

Code: Select all

/*
 *  Description: This example shows hot to read a SMS from SIM memory.
 *  This example only shows the AT commands (and the answers of the module) used
 *  to read the SMS For more information about the AT commands, refer to the AT 
 *  command manual.

CommandResponseDescription
AT+CMGF=OKSpecifies the input and output format of the short messages. 0 for PDU mode and 1 for text mode.
AT+CMGSSends a message.
AT+CMGR=*Reads a message. * is the number of the message.
