  • At the moment there's no 'built-in' support for GPRS modules, but they usually communicate over a serial port using the 'AT command set', so you can actually control them without needing any built-in support.

    I know @Hardware_Hacks was working on a (JavaScript module)[http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/­1712/#comment30998] that would send and receive SMS text messages, but as far as I know nobody has tried to get on the internet with one (they haven't asked on here anyway).

    Having said that, we've been doing some work on the ESP8266 module (WiFi over serial) and that seems to use an AT command set very similar to a lot of GSM modules. It looks a lot like (this code)[http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/­253943/?offset=25#comment11845968] would probably control the module just fine (once you'd added any commands needed to get the module connected to the network).

    Hopefully support for the ESP8266 will make it into the Espruino firmware in a month or so, and I'll try and make sure that it's flexible enough to work with GSM/GPRS too.
