Summary
The SIM800C GSM/GPRS HAT is a 2G communication module that plugs onto a Raspberry Pi (2B/3B/3B+/Zero/Zero W) via the 40-pin header. It supports SMS, GPRS, DTMF, HTTP, FTP, MMS and email, plus Bluetooth 3.0. Control is via AT commands; the serial interface uses automatic baud-rate detection between 1200 and 115200 baud.
