The GSM shield is stackable on an Arduino and can be powered with the VIN
from the power jack available on the Arduino itself.
Features:
GSM Modem: SIM900A.
Input voltage: 7 to 15V.
Peak Current: 2A D.C.
Audio: A connector for MIC and headphone.
LED indicators: Status, Network and Call.
SIM Card holder.
Control using AT commands.

Shield Layout:
The picture below gives a brief layout of the GSM Shield.
The shield uses digital pins 7(RX) and 8(TX) for software serial
communication with the SIM900A. There is provision of jumper with
selection of hardware/software serial communication.
It supports TCP/UDP and HTTP protocols through a GPRS connection.
It is recommended that the board be powered with an external power
supply that can provide current upto 2Amp. Powering an Arduino and
the GSM shield from a USB connection is not recommended, as USB
cannot provide the required current for when the modem is in use.
Audio Jacks are provided for externally connecting speakers (in SPK
jack) and microphone (in MIC jack).
On-board buzzer is used as Incoming Call indicator.
The shield contains following indicator LEDs:
Status: turns on to when the modem is powered and data is
being transferred to/from the GSM/GPRS network.
Net: blinks when the modem is communicating with the radio
network.
RI: Ring indicator when call comes buzzer and LED turns ON.

Pins usage on Arduino
D0: Used as RX of hardware serial port
D1: Used as TX of hardware serial port
D7: Used as RX of software serial port
D8: Used as TX of software serial port
VIN: Used to select external 6.5V~12V, 2 A power supply for the Arduino
and GPRS Shield.
Usage
As you receive the GPRS Shield, what would be the first thing you want to do
with it? Send out a text (SMS)? Or call up someone (headset required)? You
can do all of this by talking to the GPRS Shield using AT Commands - a special
language that it understands.
AT Commands are simple textual commands sent to the GPRS modem over
its serial interface (UART), so you can use any serial terminal software to
communicate with it.
4. Plug to Arduino
Stack the GSM Shield onto Arduino.
5. Power up Arduino
Power up Arduino by DC Jack. The Status indicator LED should light up once
connected.
