    Great work done sir,even i am also trying such sort of project where i can use my arduino mega 2560 or uno with GSM shield to make documentation of real time monitoring of my equipment.the problem which i m facing is that….when i connect my gsm shield with the sim to any of the arduino boards then no inbuilt gsm program is giving output.
