I was looking at some of the development baords on SFE and I really want to use the TCP stack I think they have. What I want to do it send an email over 3G. Has anyone done it? Is it possible? Is email function in the embedded GSM TCP stack?
All of the Telit modules have an embedded GPRS/IP stack. You can do raw TCP or UDP sockets, FTP, and Email with simple AT commands.
Good luck!
None of those modules support 3G, but you don’t need 3G. There are 2 ways you can do this:
1 - Send an SMS message to an Email address. You’ll need to get the SMS gateway number for your service provider. You use this number as the “phone number” that you send the message to. Then put the Email address that you want to send to in the beginning of your message, with a space after it. This is the easiest method, but your message length will be limited to 160 characters including the Email address.
2 - Make a GPRS connection to a SMTP server and send the Email through the server. This is a fairly complicated procedure.
The first one is the normally way people do.
Hello,
I work for Symmetry Electronics and we are a franchised distributor for Telit.
Telit does have a 3G module available, the UC864-G: http://www.semiconductorstore.com/cart/ … duct=43555
As stated before though, I don’t think you need 3G to send an email using a cellular module. I agree that sending an SMS would be the easier way to go, but using GPRS data would save you money from a data standpoint.
Check out the Easy GPRS guide here. It’s the same for all of Telit’s GPRS modules: http://www.semiconductorstore.com/cart/ … duct=43544
If you need more help PM me and I will see what I can do.
