SIM900A GSM Module-Send SMS & Make a Call using AT Commands

Let's explore how to use SIM900A GSM Module to send SMS and Phone Call using AT Commands. We'll use USB-to-RS232 adapter/cable to connect SIM900A GSM Module with Computer. We can also use USB-UART Bridge instead along with PuTTY Terminal Software. In this lesson, we'll start with AT commands to test first if module works? and later we'll use advance AT Command to perform following tasks:
1. GSM Module Testing
2. Send & Read SMS thorugh GSM Module
3. Make a phone call and receive incoming call
4. Find out Network operator
5. Hangs up the Call
List of AT Commands for SIM900A GSM Module:
The SIM Module comes with Auto baud settings most often comes with 9600 baud
AT
AT+COPS? -- Know your OperatorAT
ATDXXXXXXXXXX; -- To make a call
ATH -- Hangsup the call
ATA -- Receive call
AT+CMGL="ALL" -- Read ALL Messages
AT+CMGR=1 -- Read only First Message
AT+CMGR=2 -- Read Second Message
AT+CMGD=1 -- Delete 1st Message
AT+CMGL="ALL"
AT+CMGF=1
AT+CMGS="8007770636"

    I am using airtel 4G SIM for this. I am getting the call when we use the command. But I couldn't send a message to any number. wat would be the issue? maybe it's because of my 4G SIM?

    Hi Mr. Manish, with this module you can make arduino to connect to internet and then do whatever you wish to do. Alone this module will not help you much as its just a GSM Module for providing connectivity. I never used Windows FAX especially on Won7. I hope this may help you. Have a good day. Thanks

    There are several version on GSM Modules out there. If your module doesn't have one then use RESET Pins on SIM900A module and connect to Ground pin to reset otherwise best way is to contact support from the brand you've purchased. I hope this may help you somehow. Good luck and best wishes!
