The Global System for Mobile (
GSM) communication is the Second Generation of mobile technology. Although the world is moving towards Third and Fourth generation but
GSM has been the most successful and widespread technology in the communication sector. GSM technology paved a new way for mobile communication.

As explained earlier (refer
GSM interfacing with 8051), a line converter
MAX232 is employed to convert the RS232 logic data of
GSM Module to TTL logic so that it can be processed by the
microcontroller. In this project, instead of RS232 logic data, TTL logic output has been taken and thus PIC18F4550 has been directly connected with GSM Modem without any line converter in between. The following diagram shows the TTL input and output of GSM modem used.
Objectives:
This project has following objectives which are fulfilled using
AT Commands:
1. Test the simple AT Command.
2. Find out the IMEI number of the GSM Modem.
3. Connect a call to a GSM mobile number (Dial a number).
4. Send a text message to a mobile number.
The provision of these four operations has been provided by means of four tactile switches. Each switch corresponds to each of the above functions. AT Commands used to perform the above operations have been given below along with their output. (For complete list of AT Commands supported by GSM Modem, refer the list in tutorial on
AT Commands.
