Require Time to send Data from your board to a Webserver

Hardware Arduino GSM Shield
1

Hello All,

I am using the IComSat, SIM900 GSM/GPRS shield and Arduino MEGA 2560 and I am sending data to my websever.

It takes around 50 seconds for the value send from the GSM via the GPRS to be display on my webpage. I am using Bluevia SIM Card.

  1. Is anybody aware of the limitation of the Bluevia SIM card? I live in the US?

  2. Does anybody know if there is a way to reduce this amount of time? I want to send data every 10 or 20 second to the Webserver from My GSM900?

To send data, I first connect to the GSM
//===================================

if (gsm.begin(9600)){
Serial.println("\nstatus=READY");
gsm.forceON(); //To ensure that SIM900 is not only in charge mode

started=true;
}
//=======================================

Then attached the GPRS

===================
if (inet.attachGPRS("bluevia.movistar.es", "", ""))

Serial.println("status=ATTACHED");

else Serial.println("status=ERROR");

//============================================

Then used the command below to send data

===========================================
numdata=inet.httpPOST("www.evildeejay.it", 80, "/test/test.php", "name=Marco&age=24",msg, 50);

  1. Is it possible to connect the GSM and attached only to the GPRS everytime I want to send data or should I respect the 3 steps (GSM Connection, GPRS Connection and data send)

Many thanks for your help.
