Principle:

The main principle of this circuit is to interface a GSM modem with the microcontroller.
The microcontroller used is AT89C51 microcontroller. To communicate with GSM
modem, AT commands are required. Microcontroller sends these commands to the GSM
modem, which is then activated to perform the required operation.
The following AT commands are frequently used to control the operations of GSM
modem.
Command Operation
AT+CSMS

Select message service.

AT+CMGF

Message format.

AT+CMGL

List messages.

AT+CMGR

Read message.

AT+CMGS

Send message.

AT+CMGD Delete message.

ATA

Answer a call.

ATD

Dial a number.

ATDL

Dial the last outgoing number.

ATH

Hang up the call.
