Hi. I want to build a motorcycle alarm. I'm wondering if it's possible to send a sms wirelessly to my mobile phone when the bike is interrupted. If so, what modules do I need?
Thanks.

Hello Mac,

are you very particular about sending SMS only when the bike is tampered, bcoz when you get SMS on your Mobile your are notified by a small beep/tone/alert.

in emergencies like theft you need something like real ringing on your mobile, as if your bike it self is calling you for help !

there are two ways of doing this job : Easy way and Fancy(hi-fi) way.

both the ways need a Mobile phone probably GSM & a micro

Fancy way :

1) Mobile phone with easily accessible Serial port
2) Micro
3) Data bus cable
4) good/fair knowledge of mobile AT commands
5) lot of programming/debugging

Easy way (my way of doing it):
1) any old, stupid,outdated,working Mobile phone with/without serial port
2) micro
3) ??????

tell me if you are interested in my (easy) way of doing the job

Arun

Hi, Arun. Instead of keeping a mobile in the bike that sends the message to the mobile in my pocket. I was wondering if there was, a SMS module available in the market that could send the message to my phone?

I'm not picky, about SMS or ringing. Just so long as I know.

You are right Colin, there are modules available in the market which can send SMS and even place a call. You can find them on google.

Plus they can be easily interfaced with microcontrollers.
