Datasheet

On its own, this module can't do anything. It requires a microcontroller to drive it! We suggest and use an Arduino but

any 3-5V microcontroller with a UART can send and receive commands over the RX/TX pins.

You will also need some required accessories to make FONA work. These are not included!

SIM Card! A 2G Mini SIM card is required to do anything on the cellular network. (https://adafru.it/fbO)

Lipoly Battery - 500mAh or larger! This 500mAh (https://adafru.it/drL)battery, or this

1200mAh (http://adafru.it/258) will work great.

MicroUSB cable for charging the battery.

External uFL GSM Antenna - this slim one works great (https://adafru.it/fbL).

(or, if you want to us an SMA antenna - a uFL to SMA adapter cable. (http://adafru.it/851))

External uFL Passive GPS Antenna - like this one! (https://adafru.it/fhk)
