hi community arduino
I'm still a beginner in this big world,
I am a student and I have a project to make with my Arduino board .Well, I found a lot of problems and I need your help ..
I bought a GSM module without sheild ,so I can't work with it directly,
i want to try if i can use my phone or an old phone ( if i can find a GSM module in it)
thanks

Very unlikely. It will be much simpler to install the module you have onto a shield than to hack an old phone. You may find you can connect the module direct to Arduino anyway. Shields are to make things convenient, not possible.

GSM module without sheild
Shield is a marketing buzzword that means physically plug-in compatible, and usually very electrically compatible. The difference between that and what you have is that the 'not a shield' device needs to be connected manually.

For more info see http://www.sure-u-can.com OK so I made that up there's no .com, and for you it will be rocket science, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. Far from it.
This is the only sentence in this whole post that really means anything --> Please name the Arduino that you have, and more importantly the exact -manufacturer- and -model- of the GSM module that you have.
While you're waiting for an answer about how to hook them up, look at the Reference - Library http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/GSM just to get familiar with it. You'll need it to operate the GSM.
Also get comfortable with the basic Arduino UI. Go through the ~/examples sample code, start at the top, and try out at least a few of them. You need to have some familiarity with the easy stuff before you can launch a rocket.
