I have placed unziped and placed the GSMSHIELD folder in my Arduino "Libraries" folder.
whenever i try to compile any example found in example folder under GSMSHIELD folder. I get so many compilation errors.
By opening any example what I notice is the .ino code file includes definition within " ". However all regular arduino codes that i see include within <>
" " include is used for files which are part of the project and < > is for header files that are part of library.
#include "SIM900.h" #include <SoftwareSerial.h>
//We don't need the http functions. So we can disable the next line.
//#include "inetGSM.h" #include "sms.h" #include "call.h"
I would ask you to compile and see the example found in this library, if you also get the same error that means there is something wrong with the library and not with my installation

What errors are you getting? It would help if you showed them here.
I downloaded and compiled "BETA_GSM_GPRS_GPS_IDE100_v305.zip", on an Arduino Mega 2560 + iTead Studio's IComsat "SIM 900 GSM/GPRS shield for Arduino" without any problems. The sim900 is rather power hungry so I connected a 9V, 1300mA transformer to the Arduino and could send SMS, open google.com and receive a phone call.
