Arduino Uno with GSM Shield 2 M10

Hey,

I picked up an Arduino GSM shield 2 M10 to use with my Arduino Uno with a Rogers SIM card pay as you go text & date plan. For some reason this thing isn't working. I'm using the GSM example codes with the latest version of Arduino software and I get nothing. All I need it to do is receive SMS for a Third year technical project I'm working on and time is creeping up quick. I appreciate the help.

If anybody is having success, would you mind telling which SIM cards you are using? I'm in Toronto Canada

Hi jamesdylan

I bought the same gsm shield V2 last month.

I had some trouble, but Finally I reached to make working the shield ( reception and emission )

There is a button "power" neer the SIM card.
you have to switch on, wait few second and then press on this small button "power" during
few seconds.
then you will see the led orange starting blinking, it 's the GSM activity.
And then, your code will work.

Hope it will help.
