The same red SIM800L GPRS breakout, supplied with a coiled helical antenna and two header strips so it is ready to solder up out of the box. Quad-band 2G for SMS, voice and GPRS data, all through AT commands. Power is still what catches people out: 3.4-4.4V from a supply that can deliver 2 A bursts, which an Arduino's regulator cannot, and 3.3V logic on the serial pins. Pick this one over the bare board if you do not already have a GSM antenna to hand.
Key features
- Helical antenna and two 6-pin header strips included
- Quad-band GSM850 / EGSM900 / DCS1800 / PCS1900, GPRS
