SIM868 GSM/GPRS/GNSS Module for Raspberry Pi Pico

The  Pico-SIM868-GSM/GPRS/GNSS is a GSM, GPRS, GNSS, and Bluetooth module designed for Raspberry Pi Pico. This small size and low power module will easily enable your Raspberry Pi Pico functions such as making phone call, sending SMS messages, 2G communication, global positioning, and Bluetooth communications.

A Raspberry Pi Pico is NOT included – click here if you’d like to buy one . Your Pico will need to have male headers soldered to it with the pins pointing downwards (or grab one of our Pre-soldered Picos ).

Features

• Standard Raspberry Pi Pico header, supports Raspberry Pi Pico series boards
• UART communication, serial AT commands control
• Supports SMS, phone call, GPRS, DTMF, HTTP, FTP, MMS, email, etc.
