I don't know about where you are, but here in Canada, the only carrier that supports GSM/GPRS (the SIM800L module technnology) is shutting down their GSM network next year and as of last year isn't accepting new activations. So this device won't work in Canada. GSM/GPRS is dead. Check your local cellular companies before ordering one of these things. The SIM7000 module supports LTE and is usable pretty much anywhere. It costs more though. the SIM800L is so cheap these days because no one wants them anymore.
Hey, that's very informative! Thanks for sharing. You're doing a great job. Few questions.. I noticed it had battery connector. Does it run using 18650? Also can we charge battery using on board type C connector when on battery? Thanks!
Thanks for this video. Have you been able to connect a micro SD card to the TTGO T-Call ESP32 SIM800L module since it uses pins 23 and 5 that belong to the SPI connection?
I have a question about the power consumption. Do you have any data for your system? eg. If it does transmit data every 30 seconds? Thanks and well done !
Olá Rui, graças a este tutorial já consigo receber uma notificação sms quando um pino muda de estado , mas agora ando às voltas com o inverso, ou seja, enviando um sms para mudar um pino de estado.

@@Ed19601 You are right, for your use case a regular ESP32 + specific GSM/3G/4G/… module would be better. Some Simcom-modules are pin-compatbile, so maybe there is an easy swap using a hot air gun possible.
Hello Rui! Thanks so much for the video! I wanted to ask you if you would know how to get the current time from the internet through the sim connection.

Hi Friend thank you so much for this tutorial it helped me alot but can you explain me something. It is written that it should send sensor readings every 60 minutes but i didnt change anything and i get sensorreadings every 20 seconds or so why is this

Don't know whether your question is still up to date, but: SimCom offers plenty of Cellular SIM modules, namely everything from SIM7000 and up will support 4G. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an all-in-one ESP32 board yet, so you'd have to use a standard ESP32 and hook up the SIM module to it. I recommend taking a look at Waveshare and their product lineup, they have breakout boards for these chips. They each have different versions depending on which region they are about to run in, so make sure to pick the right one (SIMxxxx-E, -G, -C, ...). Hope this helps, I have spent the last day researching about this too and am now slowly getting results 🙂I don't have any practical experience with all of this yet though

I need help. I have some relays turned on with blynk over the internet with gsm...how can i make them turn off if the internet connection or the blynk connection is disconnected...and how do i make blynk refresh all the buttons and relays status on the app when it's recommended
Would i be able to upload low resolution video with this method? If not then what would be the best method to use the data plan of the simcard to upload video data to the cloud? thanks
Can we use this SIM800L or other TTGOs AS low Power MQTT Proxy or even low bandwidth Hotspot for other IoT devices in reach? TTGO Uplink to another MQTT broker / Rest API TTGO offering itself adhoc WiFi or Bluetooth LE tethering
@Rob Wilton interesting thanks. Can you communicate with this module and mqtt? I have tried many things but there is no way. With esp32 or esp8266or node red i don t have any problem. Sometimes it s a little thing. Thanks and bye.

Hi, what a great project - and I'm thrilled to have mine connecting and sending data to Thingspeak. However, the timer doesn't appear to be working - it just keeps restarting without any delay. I've checked esp_sleep_get_wakeup_cause() and it returns ESP_SLEEP_WAKEUP_TIMER. I'm using your code otherwise unchanged. Any ideas?
Ok, I swapped to Platform.IO and that gave me much better error checking. It turned out to be the definition of uS_TO_S_FACTOR which should be defined as #define uS_TO_S_FACTOR 1000000ULL (note the ULL suffix). Otherwise, when you call esp_sleep_enable_timer_wakeup you get a an integer overflow (if you're using 3600 seconds anyway). When this happens, the timer just fires immediately

Hi Rui,
Thanks for this very helpful video.
Do you know any ESP32 module which supports 3G or 4G?
We do not have 2G in Australia.
Thanks
Very interesting. Sadly though gsm2 is being phased out in many countries
You can hook up any 3G/4G/5G modem to the ESP32. It's just serial.
@@FuchsHorst obviously but this module has it built in and (for obvious reasons) it are the sim800 modules who are now cheap

@@FuchsHorst technically possible but hardly worth the trouble. Other gsm module may not fit in situ. Better get esp32 plus valid GSM module
@@Ed19601 At least here in Europe 2G will stay for a long time, at least with one active operator per country. 3G will be decommissioned sooner.
Can you specify the details and type of antenna you are using or could you attach a link of where have you brought that?
Nice work! I was buy this board a month ago. Want to build portable GPS tracker for my vehicle.
can i use ESP in AP mode in this case and connect clients to access internet? including NTP servers which works over UDP ?
Great video! Thank you!
Do you know, how OTA updates of the firmware can be done with this GPRS connection?
You say that you don't use the I2C pins as the battery management uses it but surely I2C is a multi - device bus?
Yes, up to 128 devices can work on one i2c bus.
