Hi guys,
I have an appication to develop with an Arduino. I have to post data to a webserver everyminute (just a real variable), but in this area there is no Internet / Wifi connectivity. Any suggestions? Have you never used the GSM Shield? Could be useful for this project?
Thanks!

The GSM Shield can be use to establish a network connection.
You will probably need to get your own SIM card. See the limitations of the SIM included with the shield:
The Arduino GSM/GPRS shield is a nice piece of kit. However, if you are going to stick it in a box screwed to an outbuilding wall, as I have done, then you might want to consider the cheaper alternatives based on the SIM900 chip.
I upload data every hour to a simple php script which writes the data to a MySQL database.
