Who's that callin'? It's your breadboard! Introducing Adafruit FONA MiniGSM, an adorable all-in-one cellular phone module that lets you add voice, text, SMS and data to your project in an adorable little package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note: The T-Mobile GSM network is shutting down in the USA over the course of 2020 and beyond, so please be aware these are not for long term usage in the USA!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis module measures only 1.75\"x1.25\" but packs a surprising amount of technology into its little frame. At the heart is a GSM cellular module (we use the latest SIM800) the size of a postage stamp. This module can do just about everything. This version has a uFL connector.
