F.A.Q.s
Is a Lipo Battery required? Can I run the FONA off of a power supply or just the microUSB port?
I really want to run my FONA without a Lipoly battery!
Ahh! My FONA was working fine then I sent it some command and its not working right anymore?
I'm using FONA as a voice caller and the other person can't hear me!
My FONA doesn't work with Arduino Due/ADK/101/Galileo/STM32....
Can I charge the battery and use FONA at the same time?
My FONA won't turn on/respond! Or it acts flakey and auto-shuts off sometimes!
FONA 800/808 requires a 2G SIM, does it work with a dual 2G-3G SIM?
Are you sure I can't use ATT for 2G service? I'm in a T-Mobile cold spot
How long can FONA last on my battery?
How do I set the Real Time Clock on the FONA SIM?
I'm using a FONA 808 and the GPS commands aren't working
How do I switch between SMS storage on SIM and in internal FLASH?
I'm trying to reset the FONA with my microcontroller/computer and pulling the RESET pin low via a GPIO isnt
working?

Overview
For those who want to take it to
the next level
we now have a 3G Cellular Modem breakout! The FONA 3G has better
coverage, GSM backwards-compatibility and even sports a built-in GPS module for geolocation & asset tracking. This
all-in-one cellular phone module with that lets you add location-tracking, voice, text, SMS and data to your project in a
single breakout.

This module measure only 1.75"x1.6" but packs a surprising amount of technology into it's little frame. At the heart is a
powerfull GSM cellular module (we use the latest SIM5320) with integrated GPS. This module can do just about
everything
Quad-band 850MHz GSM, 900MHz EGSM, 1800MHz DCS, 1900MHz PCs - connect onto any global GSM
network with any 2G SIM.
American Version dual-band UMTS/HSDPA 850/1900MHz WCDMA + HSDPA
European Version dual-band UMTS/HSDPA 900/2100MHz WCDMA + HSDPA
Fully-integrated GPS (Qualcomm PM8015 GPS) that can be controlled and query over the same serial port
Make and receive voice calls using a headset or an external 8Ω speaker + electret microphone
Send and receive SMS messages
Send and receive GPRS data (TCP/IP, HTTP, etc.)
AT command interface can be used with 300, 600, 1200, 4800, 9600, 19200, 39400, 57600, 115200, 230K,
461K, 961K, 3.2M, 3.7M and 4.0Mbps
Native USB support - plug it into a computer and you'll get serial ports for AT commands, GPS NMEA as well as a
modem (note we've only tried out the AT&NMEA ports on Windows)
