Hi
I am building a device that recieves an SMS , and displays the massage on an LCD screen. i am using the GM862-PCS module, GM862 Evaluation Board “Basic 50-Pin” & an Optrex LCD DMF5000 series. can anyone help me , i need to know how to interface both the module and LCD and extract the massage from the module , guys any idea will help
thanx

Interface them to a suitable MCU and write the software!

leon is 100% correct but you could save yourself all the trouble of making PCBs, soldering itty bitty packages, and writing lengthy code and buy yourself one of these!
I’ll even guarantee that it works because I happen to use the same exact model!

i know these will work better 8) , but what i am doing is a demonstration of the idea of building large wireless screens like those in airports, but for financial reasons i chose the small LCD screen, thanks for the reply 
Don’t mind me, I was just being a wise ass :D. Connecting a PIC to a character LCD is a very easy task and there are a ton of tutorials available on how to do it.
For the cellular module, you will just have to read the datasheet. I believe it uses a UART for communication and most new PICs have UART hardware built in making for a relatively easy interface. I believe the cellular module you are using has SMS functionality built in so it will be a simple matter of reading the data sheet and figuring out what commands to send to it in order to make it work.
