How to build a Cell Phone

4 Mar 2016

I am having a problem with my project as I struggling to build a dialer or a DIY Cell Phone. The reason why I am trying to build my own dialer is because I am trying to continue with my project as cheap as possible. PLEASE HELP..............................................

Help? what have you built or designed so far? And what are your cost constraints. Just a note: building one cell phone is great as a learning process, but cannot be done less than a typical cell phone…

I think the gsm shields are tested and fcc compliant, you need to provide a sim card from a cellular company. As I said, it's a novelty. Mike

I appreciate all comments posted on my blog, but I find this project very important to me and might as well benefit my country in a certain way. I spotted a need in a community of South Africa, which is the 3rd world country hence I am trying to build a cheap reliable product. In a business language, this project might be a very rewarding concept as what we are doing has never been done before in Africa, or perhaps in the world.

Please find it in your hearts to help me help my country as I believe that a little contribution that I get would or might mean a lot to my Country.

The only thing that might be useful is the fact that with the gsm shield and a sim card you can send sms messages without a network connection. You might even be able to establish a ppp connection with an internet provider to give remote network access.

I presume they are and that's what I'd be tending to use as well .... if I wanted to try going down this road.
