Which GSM modems / GSM mobile phones can I use with Fun Billboard?

Fun Billboard supports SMS sending / receiving according to ETSI specification GSM

07.05 GSM. It will work with any GSM modem or mobile phone that complies with this

specification and supports sending of text messages in PDU mode using AT Commands.

There are many good GSM modems available in the market. Some of the brands are:

Enfora, Wavecom, Siemens, Ericsson, Falcom and Nokia. Most of them can be used with

Fun Billboard. However we can only guarantee that modems sold by us will work

correctly with Fun Billboard. To make other modems work with Fun Billboard is the user’s

responsibility.

Why is it better to use a GSM Modem rather than a GSM mobile phone with Fun

Billboard?

GSM mobile phones, that have a built in modem and supports AT Commands, can also be

used with Fun Billboard, however, if Fun Billboard has to be turned on for a long time or

it has to receive / send large number of messages then we recommend using GSM

modems because:

• GSM mobile phones normally run on battery power and no phone manufacturer

recommends that the phone should be connected to battery charger continuously.

• GSM mobile phones get heated up when they are used for sending large number

of messages in sequence.

• GSM modems normally run directly from power source and have a more robust

design in terms of heat dissipation and heavy duty usage.

• Some GSM mobile phones like Nokia do not support AT Commands directly and

require the installation of Nokia Data Suite, PC Suite for Nokia or some other

appropriate modem driver. This in turn causes additional problems when trying to

make the phone work with Fun Billboard.
