SIM800 Reference

Module requires 3.4-4.6V supply voltage, so it's best connected to a standard li-ion cell. Comms over UART 9600 8N1 CRLF. Led steady blinking means network is available (but doesn't mean connected to net). Returns OK (OD 0A) after command success.

  * AT+CMEE=2 -> verbose errors
  * AT+CBC -> battery voltage in mV
  * AT+COPS? -> network available?
  * AT+COPS=? -> return a list of networks
  * AT+CREG?
    * 0,0 – SIM Error
    * 0,2 – Searching
    * 0,3 – Registration denied
    * 0,5 – Connected roaming
    * 0,1 - Connected
  * AT+CSQ -> signal strength (should be higher than about 8-10). 
  * ATD+41... ; -> call a phone (semicolon **important**!)
  * AT+CGDCONT -> Displays/edits/changes the configured APN
  * AT+CGDCONT? -> Displays the current APN set 
  * AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","gprs.swisscom.ch" -> Set an APN
  * AT+CGATT=1 - Attach gprs session
     * OK – command successful
     * Other CMEE code – See possible errors via CMEE result specific module documentation
  * AT+CGATT=0 – Detach gprs session
  * AT+CGACT=1,1 -> attach specific context 1:
     * OK – Command successful
     * CMEE error code

SMS Commands

  * AT+CMGF=1 -> Select Text mode for command format. NEED to do this in the beginning in order to make the following commands to work.
  * AT+CMGS="<phonenumber>"<return><message><ctrl-z> -> send SMS with <message> to <phonenumber>. In C, <return> is made with the '\r' token and ctrl-z with '\x1A' token. 
  * AT+CMGL="ALL" -> list all messages in memory
  * AT+CMGR=1 -> show message at position 1 (replace 1 by desired index). Max response: 5 sec.
  * AT+CMGD=<index>[,<flag>] -> delete message at given location in memory (<index> from 1....n_msg). If <flag>=4, delete all messages in memory (even unread)
  * Response on incoming SMS -> +CMTI: "SM",<index>

Opening a remote TCP connection over GPRS

  * at+cipstatus -> get PDP connection status (gprs)
  * AT+CGATT? -> 1 = gprs available
  * at+cstt="gprs.swisscom.ch","gprs","gprs" -> select APN for this connection
  * at+ciicr -> bring up connection
  * at+cifsr -> get devices ip addr
  * AT+CIPSTART="TCP","178.62.248.152", "9999" -> open TCP connection
  * AT+CIPSEND      -> Issue Send Command

Unlock SIM and remove PIN code

AT+CPIN?
AT+CPIN="1234"
AT+CLCK="SC",0,"1234"
AT+CPIN? -> should output ready

POST to HTTP server

AT+SAPBR=3,1,"APN","gprs.swisscom.ch"
AT+SAPBR=1,1
AT+HTTPINIT
at+httppara="url","http://basestation.octanis.org:9999/gsm_packets/..."
at+httppara="cid",1    
AT+HTTPPARA="CONTENT","text/plain"
at+httpdata=100,10000
AT+HTTPACTION=1
AT+HTTPREAD
AT+HTTPTERM

GPRS APN data “apn” = gprs.swisscom.ch “DNS” = 164.128.036.034 username = gprs password = gprs
