Arduino GSM help

I am doing a project involving Arduino and GSM module ( arduino to send SMS via GSM module only that is enough )

i first thought of this http://www.cooking-hacks.com/index.php/shop/arduino/gprs-module-for-arduino.html

it is cheap and easy to use.....

but there are some problem with shipping and payment

can anyone please suggest any other GSM shield for Arduino that is easy to use ( i need to only send SMS) ..........

please help guys.

but there are some problem with shipping and payment

That would suggest your location in the world is important. Where are you?

I am in india.

There was a thread on here not long ago regarding using an old Nokia 3310 or sub-model thereof. I am personally following up on that using a Nokia 3595 that someone's chucked out in our office.

This is the thread: http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1201987469/10
If you read it, you will see that this is by no means a complete recipe for a beginner project, but I think the required elements are there.

The Nokia F-bus protocol and wiring are documented. There is source code for a protocol implementation that I know works for a 6110.

I think I can wire a large capacitor, a 4V regulator and some resistors to fake out the battery sensor. I want my Arduino to control the power on the ME, so that will mean triggering the on/off switch and maybe finding a trace that I can use to measure whether the thing is powered up.

will that work with nokia 1100?

Well, there appear to be F-bus contacts in an 1100...

I think it would be worth trying.
