Raspberry Pi GSM/GPRS Board (SIM800)

Note - This product is not compatible with the Raspberry Pi 4 (unless using a GPIO extension)

WARNING: This HAT works on 2G GSM network which is shutting down in the USA over the course of 2020 and beyond, so please be aware these are not for long term usage and may not work in your region. You may not be able to activate these SIM cards for the 2G network. We do not recommend 2G anymore for North America usage!

Connect your Pi to the world's mobile networks! The Raspberry Pi GSM Board (SIM800) from ModMyPi is a SIM800 quad-band GSM/GPRS/BT module for use on the Raspberry Pi. The board is fully plug and play, and designed to interact with the Raspberry Pi via UART (Serial) for access to GSM/GPRS mobile networks. Please Note. You do require an active SIM card to access mobile networks (not included)!

The SIM800 IC is fully compatible with AT commands sent via the Pi's UART port, enabling functions such as sending and answering calls, sending and receiving text messages and accessing the internet. The board features speaker & microphone jacks, so it's fully possible to turn your Raspberry Pi into a mobile telephone communication device!

The board is powered directly from the Pi's GPIO, and has hardware controlled on/off/reset button which can also be accessed (through use of a jumper cable) via the Pi's GPIO for software-controlled powering & resetting.

The package includes a fixed antenna and mounting hardware!
