/* Band Management This sketch, for the Arduino GSM shield, checks the band currently configured in the modem and allows you to change it. Please check http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html Usual configurations: Europe, Africa, Middle East: E-GSM(900)+DCS(1800) USA, Canada, South America: GSM(850)+PCS(1900) Mexico: PCS(1900) Brazil: GSM(850)+E-GSM(900)+DCS(1800)+PCS(1900) Circuit: * GSM shield created 12 June 2012 by Javier Zorzano, Scott Fitzgerald This example is in the public domain. */ // libraries #include // initialize the library instance GSMBand band; void setup() { // initialize serial communications and wait for port to open: Serial.begin(9600); while (!Serial) { ; // wait for serial port to connect.
