Doubt about the Arduino GSM/GPRS shield

Hello,

I would like to know how does this shield works. I am trying to develop a low cost meteo station with Arduino that will be located in placed that can’t be connected via wifi, so I am looking for a different option to connect it. I want to know if using this shield is possible to connect to the station just with the SIM card and the shield.

The shield responds to AT commands sent to it by the Arduino.

The shield can upload data to the internet, many people already use them for that. The issue is power management if it is to work from batteries.

Thanks for your response.

My questions is if using this shield it would be possible to connect to the station and recieve all the data adquired from my sensors. I don't need to post the data on internet.

How is it supposed to connect to the station?

That is what I am looking for. I have the doubt if it is possible to connect to the station via this shield with the SIM card. I want to acces from my computer to the station remotely using this shield.

Thank you.

Use sensors + Arduino + GSM shield...
Then send your sensor values to the PC via email or SMS

If you have a publicly visible server - open a GPRS session, then you can write using ftp or other transfer protocol.
